Good morning!!!!

[PJSprog]

23°F and cloudy this morning, going up to 41° today. Looks like we're trudging through a slow warm up, and should be back in the 50s by the middle of next week.

The wall mounts for the headless guitar arrived in the mail on Tuesday. I was going to mount them to the wall last night, but found that the screws for the EZ Ancor drywall anchors I have are too big for the holes in the mounts. So, rather than open up the holes, I'm going to stop on the way home tonight and try to find some slightly smaller ones. The ones I have say they'll hold up to 75 pounds. I certainly don't need that kind of support for a five pound guitar. I'm trying to avoid drilling out the holes because these mounts were made on a 3D printer, and I have no idea how that material will react to a drill bit. I might be worrying about nothing, so maybe some Google-fu is in order.

Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind? And can you get to Amarillo by morning? Asking for George. And In Luchenbach, ain’t no one feelin no pain, says Waylon.

Great looking truck!
There were just too many options that I outgrew (too old) to enjoy on the new Jeep truck, like removal doors.
Is he planning on taking it off road, I read they are #1 in that category?

You'd be very disappointed in the Balinese Room.



It was totally destroyed, in September 2008, by Hurricane Ike.

I agree. I took the doors, side panels, and roof off my old Landcruiser and nothing ever fit exactly right after that. It never really leaked, but there was always water sloshing around in the gutter base of the rooftop panel. It was great off road.

David- I am glad you got your Tundra back; not so happy about the $ and poor attitude of the service manager. I do not see another Toyota vehicle in my future any time soon.

Randy- Ellen bought it will she ever have a chance to operate it? I致e been looking at Jeep pickups. Your son bought a really nice truck; congratulations.. I am leery of any kind of soft roof living around here. The cost of a hardtop is +$1K option.

At this moment in time my Tundra is running pretty well. That will give me more time to figure out my "wants & needs" in a truck.

Something like this is more my style nowadays:

The congestion I have had for more than 3 weeks is still hanging on, some days it is better and then takes a turn worse.. overall getting better though. My grand daughter is still fighting it too. She got a steroid shot when she saw the doc for ear infection..

My oldest daughter was telling me last Monday that she really likes having heated garage (40F) so she can change tires, oil and do other car maintenance in there. She does the car maintenance, no surprise. SIL is not mechanical at all. She changed the battery, starter and knock sensor on the Subaru recently, told me she still needed to do the oil change and put winter tires on..
