50 in Jacksonville FL, 57 home in NC which seems a little odd...going up to 77 here today though.
Coffee finished brewing, I have my two cups and put the rest into a giant mug properly called
Big Bubba. Hey, I am in the South....;)

Farmer, I can smell that tractor from here. TSC has some new lilac powerwash solution on sale...:D

one more drive today down most of Florida and then I get to sit for a couple of days.

52 going to 67...all snow is gone except the shadiest areas.

RNG, hang in there with that rough weather. Heard on the news this morning of 100 feet of snow in some places in the Sierras.

Haircut today, then over to Toyota dealer to get free tire rotation, then gym, then home to enjoy the nice temps with some outside chores.

36F now might reach 50F today,by the looks showers until noon.
Last couple of warm days southern banks are now bare ground :) but the dirt roads are icy cause number of cars vs snow banks. :confused2:

Enjoy the day all.

52 balmy degrees out here right now.

Well signed off on the paperwork to kill the F150 from my books. I think I walked away with 12 dollars, well actually 2 since the POA was 10 bucks. She was a sweet ride, and someone is going to have to get another truck.

Man, I hate vehicles at the moment. With kids all over the place and still in school I feel obligated to get them decent rides. Maybe I should not be, but having a vehicle means job opportunities for them. Then there is me and the SO. I still have a ranger with a bad transmission. Maybe time to get rid of that ride too. Sheesh, happy new year.

Anyway, looks like maul time today. I must say, I am starting to buff out again with all this weight swinging.

Have a great day all, be safe.

5 I must say, I am starting to buff out again with all this weight swinging.

let me be the first to ask... so Riptides, are you getting ripped?
I envy your ability to swing that weight and feel better, not worse, when you are done.
I remember those days.

cars...big expense. The good news is that the current safety nannies are now coming down into modestly
priced cars. So while your loving daughter is stabbing away at her smart phone while the light goes red in front of her, the car will literally slam on the brakes and at least wake her up to use the brakes herself. I'm a believer now that I've seen this stuff work in my Subaru. A guy cut right across me so close my brakes went on before my foot could get there, though it was on its way. I took it over from there, the fool cut across active lanes of traffic to get into a shopping center. And if you are distracted, and I genuinely believe most young drivers are, they are wired into their phones, and they sure are not going to pull over to take the call.

all of this is nice but most families can't afford to buy new cars for all their kids. No one ever gave me a car...
I think my younger sister wheedled one out of my father, an old Bug, later on but the three boys had to earn and support their own cars. So...you want reliability, safety, 4 doors, utility, and economy. She wants a Camaro convertible in yellow pretty please Dad? this has been going on for a very long time I think.

time to get moving, off to Ft. Lauderdale, the boating capitol of the world and where I worked for three years many years ago as a yacht broker. A peon among the very rich. At least I get to see oodles of cool cars here. Every exotic car made plays in this area, like our version of Dubai.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 50° with mostly clear skies this morning. Heading to 67° with partial sunshine. Taking wife to another doctor appointment. Hope to catch some patio time.
Drew, planes, trains , cars and trucks are the most annoying part of RVing. Need to add emergency vehicle sirens.
Riptides, kids and cars will keep you in the poorhouse.
Farmer, :censored:
Good Morning All.

Well Good Morning!! We have reached our forecast high for the day. 19F and more snow on the way. At least it will be a tiny bit dryer than the snot I had to work with yesterday. 6 hours to do a 3 hour job, slipping and sliding around. Got so peed off that when I got back to the house I ordered tire chains all the way around. I'll fix that slipping and sliding crap!
Have a good day all.

cars...big expense. The good news is that the current safety nannies are now coming down into modestly
priced cars.

Correct me if I'm wrong but a moderately priced car for a teen is under 25K the vehicles with eyesight, lane departure, auto brake, adaptive cruise control etc. are on the top of the line models which are over 30K.

So a good question for the day, thanks to riptides, what is a moderately priced car for a teen and as a parent are you obligated to buy a top of the line model with all the safety devices for their protection?
If you don't, does that make you a bad parent?

44°F and cloudy this morning, going "up" to 25° as the day progresses. The weather geniuses are pushing back the start of the pending Ice Storm of Doom to Friday afternoon now.

Wife went to Home Depot (grumble, mumble) yesterday and bought paint. She's starting on the ceilings today.
Deafening silence still from Terminex.
