Good morning!!!!

It’s cracked past using the filler. I’ve had one filled before and you couldn’t find the spot afterwards. This is in upper right corner, out of normal view, where the oil change reminder sticker is.


Took truck down and picked up sons couch and tv this morning.
Now I’m in N PA at a drive inn theatre for a live concert. Chilly out here, 52° and my son wore shorts.

45 right now...high in the mid-50's and some rain...
Well, gonna buy the Deere 4052 (assuming it's still available...I'll know today). More then I wanted to pay, but it's probably worth the money

Well I got some real bad news this am, my favorite nephew died yesterday from what they think was a heart attack. He was only 61 and a cattle rancher all his life as well as a very accomplished artist. My sister said that he, his son, grand daughter and a hired hand were working the last of the fall heifers when he said he needed to sit a moment because of chest pains. All the young people working with him are EMTs in their small communitie so his son took his blood pressure and it was very high so they took off to the closest hospital. They had to use defibrillator to get him going and called Flight for Life to get him to Colo. Springs but he was D.O.A..

He was my sister and bro. in laws second son, their older son has M.S. and is in a care facility. I really feel terrible for them.
Would appreciate it if those of you inclined would say a prayer for Wade,I'm sure he is in a better place but sure will be missed.

Thanks

Jim

Good evening all. 48F for the start, mostly clear, light breeze. Light to moderate wind, some high clouds, and high temp was 77F. Slow start, no fishing today, cleaned front porch and pushed dirt back in gopher hole with hose then put 5 lb stone on top of hole. Went for bike ride, then went fr walk with wife then to driving range to hit balls. Gopher moved stone then pushed dirt back out, wife saw gopher :groundhog:. Got 1 ft square concrete step then washed dirt back down hole, covered with step then stone.unch: Next step is propane in the hole. Did get nap in.

RS thanks for the compliment, what was the issue with your water pressure?
Roy, Thanks, the Deere should be a nice tractor and fit for you
Drew good news on your foot, hope you can resume walks soon.
Buppies thanks
Billy glad something knows what it is supposed to do Gopher is persistent for sure. Good to hear Coco's improvement.
Ron glad you're happy with sink draining. great pic.
Thomas when using the new rod vs old rod I had no idea how much easier the new rod is than old. I wonder if sometimes it is equipment issue that make it so hard to flyfish.
Bill they forgot the chance of fog and thunderstorms
Ken K(tinhack) welcome to GM
RNG good news on the air purifier, not as good news on fire, catch and release on large mouth, white bass, crappie, and catfish 14 in min.
PJ I would have answered you have reached the voice mail of the vacationing Paul ... Hope your wife has a safe trip and enjoy your vacation.
Chris very productive day. Lots of cattle feed lots in western Kansas, When you bicycle by takes a while to get away from the smell, and on first day you get to the next on before you are out of range for the last one
Jim sorry to hear about your nephew please pass my condolences on to his family.
RS PWCs?
Chris sorry about all that digging, but glad you found leak and no big deal
Eric wonder if dairy farms smell like feed lots? Fly rod was made by a local here and he did not charge a kidney, I think price was about $400 US.
Randy alway love the military flights
Ken K neat mods.
Dennis that is some crack, I wore shorts at 50F when I was in my 40's.
Randy great catch on the pic
prayers for all, Especially Drew/move, Jay/Peg, Kyle's daughter, Mike, RNG/fire, and Country/president

good morning all.
Cooler out at 53 going up to 70 today in sun and clouds.
rv a little chilly this morning, turned on second heater, toasty in here now.
Went backwards on my foot, it was actually a little sore this morning, guess all the temporary stuff wore off.
But then again he told me no real joy until third day which is tomorrow. I miss my walks.

Buckeye, the insurance companies figured out it was greatly to their financial benefit to pay a flat fee of 75 to a 100 bucks to send someone out to patch the little holes, before
they started to crack, like yours has. If the typical windshield costs 400 to 500 bucks, and the deductible is 100-250 dollars, they save a great deal of money on almost every windshield, and usually the repairs hold. Everyone goes home happy as they don't apply policy comprehensive deductible to chip repairs. Exceptions are where damage is right in sight lines of driver, usually state DOT doesn't allow repairs then. Once chip extends into a crack, game over, replace the windshield.

Trying to figure out how to meal plan to get me through next Friday when I leave. Not taking a cooler with me so everything in fridge needs to either be given away or heaved. Thankfully not all that much in there. Tried to find my neighbor who I want to give the food to but his truck was gone all day. This place is really Ram city, he has a Ram 1500 hemi, another neighbor with a
Ram 1500 and also a Ram Cummins 2500. Gives us something to chat about...though my truck is now sold. If I decide to get a fifth wheel trailer late next year, would likely get the Cummins Ram, as my experience with the "hemi tick" on the 5.7 gives me pause about their gas engines, and FCA doesn't have the greatest reputation for backing up their products. I like the styling of the Rams better as front end slopes down on the sides, not trying to look like a fake Peterbilt as do the GM and Ford trucks. Plus their interiors have recently looked nicer and they have the option of auto leveling air bags on the 3/4 ton rear suspensions. It's pretty amazing that most of these modern diesels have close to or exceed 1000 pounds of torque, that's what a lot of 300-350hp motorhome diesels put out. I think second choice would be a Ford. Used diesel trucks really hold their value well, often no bargains or value to be found there. But a nice not top of the line diesel costs 75 grand, whoa. Most list prices are inflated about ten grand, timing is important, and demand is high now, which doesn't lead to aggressive discounting. Will see what next year brings.

have to make early run to supermarket to get some milk and a few things, nice that it is only ten minutes away. Need to get some more tart cherry juice.

prayers for Riptides, Jay, our President and our country.
