[LS Tractor Owner]

A good morning
Both sides of carport base anchored in.
The additional 5/8 anchors are set in epoxy and will tighten down later.

Looking good! Following along closely. Are you thinking about the next area for concrete?

I'm constantly telling people about my "internet friends and their projects."
.

I say “people on the tractor site” or something like that.

Dishwasher not working. Pump not working, or timer isn’t starting the pump. Hot water sitting in bottom. New thing to research.

Wife’s sister and mom picked her up and they are staying in Baltimore again this week. Her dad slowly improving, trying to get him to feed himself. Has trouble raising right arm.

After telling me she made a meatloaf with veggies in it, I called my favorite Italian sub shop on way home. Don’t tell.

Nice day, to bad I was inside all day.

Looking out my back view this morning I noticed a drilling rig through the trees. Didn’t drive down to see exactly where it was.

Can’t believe the prices you guys are throwing around for trucks. My current 2500 HD crew cab was around $30k when I got it.

The Tractor is back working thanks to this Site and its members, thank you !
A little cool streak coming through, 45 this AM, tomorrow 30 something overnight... someone told me it will hit the twenties. I have only once seen the twenties out here, didn't last too long, thanks to the sun here in SoCal Desert Area.

50+ for high but it should be little higher, by Thursday it should be back to the 60's, 80 a couple of days ago.

Need to check out pressure washers, can't go by these Web Postings, one person love it, one person get a hair across their butt and posts a 1-star because a nozzle was missing or not in the correct place. I don't think the people posting reviews are thinking correctly.
Maybe just rent one this time and look further when I'm done, should only need it for a day at the most.

Has anyone been looking at new Trucks lately, Dealerships are nothing but Fraud Unit looking for some one to suck in and take all of the money you happen to mention is available (Mistake) ! I went to five Dealerships, starting with Toyota, looking for a Tacoma, a little truck, bottom line was $42K, went to Ford, F150, bottom line $46K, went to Jeep, a Gladiator, bottom line $46K, even thought they aren't selling as well as they should.
Went to different Toyota and Ford Dealerships, where EVERYONE says you get the best prices, NOT !

There was a Jeep Gladiator advertised, an Overland, just under the Rubicon, a lot of Options built in, advertised $41+K, OK, I'll look. Went to the Dealership and asked about the vehicle, as it turns out is had only a day or so ago been taken off the truck and the computer wasn't even taken out of the ship mode. Great let look at it ! medium grey, solid color, no metallic, ;leather seats with red stitching (nice), high end seven speaker stereo with Apple Car Play ( I wanted), a lot of other extra, NICE ! I want it, bottom line after Dealer added Options, Warranty, Oil Cahnge agreement, ... DRUM ROLL... $54K, their second offer $48K ! What is happening here, why if this truck was advertised at $41K, why isn't it selling for $41K ?
I was asked what I wanted to pay and I tld them $41K (which is ridiculous), I was told they couldn't sell it to me for that price. When I asked why is it advertised for that price, get this, I was told to get me in to the Dealership. Isn't that false advertising or misleading. I contacted the Attorney General Office, filed a complaint, I know nothing will come of it but at least there is a complaint against the company.

I don't usually sue people at the drop of a hat, but I thought at least a AG/Better Business Bureau Complaint might let someone else know of the problem.

OK I'm done need another coffee.

Thanks for reading, have a great day, I am still driving my 2003 Ford, still luv it and it doesn't cost me anything.

Scrambler, which model of F150 was $46k? We get ads here in for $30k (US) Toronto for a nicely equipped Supercrew 4 x 4. And that is before you negotiate.

Good evening all. 52F for the start, partly cloudy sky, light wind. Brisk wind again today, sky became mostly cloudy by noon, light rain in afternoon. High temp was 68F. Front comes through tomorrow, about mid-morning. Wednesday forecast is all over the map, changes almost by hour, do expect frozen precip. Choir practice to start, cold weather prep, ie clean out ashes, fill wood wagon, secure wood tarp, etc. Bike ride was nice only arm warmers needed, and nap.
Eric know what you mean about the earlier sunrise, If i can get a pic with "white stuff" will post it.
Billy I think there was a dance called the Watusi in the 50's or 60's, now it is a cattle breed :laughing:
Ron, don't know about Austin, but up here Wednesday should be interesting, at 1 one point 2 in snow predicted.
Roy interesting that Bella not interested in car ride, 3 things will launch Scooter off couch, squirrels, lizards and go in the truck.
RNG hope your inspection, delivery and pickup go as planned.
Drew sorry to hear about you back. Hope some prayer and hot tub help.
Ted hope your shop time goes well, please slow the wind down a bit
Hawkeye, glad no serious storm damage, hope all are on the mend.
PJ so pond is not done yet? Nice job on shelves, sorry about skunk smell has not happened to me yet.
Grev went through that 2018, you would think dealers would order more vehicles with fewer options. I was lucky found a salesmen who did not want to loose a sale because the usual stuff.
Randy hope rehab went well.
David glad wx cooperated, nice progress.
Buckeye won't tell what?
prayers for all.

I’m really in favor that next area of concrete belongs to RNG.

Good morning, temp is 26 and the high is gonna be 28°F. Wind W 3 mph. The 40 % chance of flurries didn't happen, and the mainly sunny that is forecast I have my doubts about, too.

I think today is an energy conversation day. Want to be all rested up for the big push in spring and summer.:laughing:


Have a safe day all

Good morning all.
Cloudy warm day today, currently 55 going up to 75.

David/Sodamo, you are remarkably handy. There are at least half a dozen guys here who I constantly think wish I had that talent
I expect Buckeye to have that dishwasher fixed promptly.

Busy day today, first quick visit to dermatologist for something itchy on my shoulder. Then foodshopping and off to lunch with two guys from Garden Club. Nice guys, seniors, married a long time. They are returning some tupperware to me that a mutual friend had, and we are meeting at the greasy spoon right down the street from me for lunch.

Then home and bring the rv around up front and plug it in. Off early morning tomorrow to dealership in Apex NC, other side of Raleigh. They are installing the new plastic cover on my awning that got knocked off by a tree limb. Hopefully we/they were sent all the right parts.

Grass is starting to green up, weeds first of course.

55 Sunday, 64 Monday, 49 now, supposed to rise a bit then start falling to near 38 later. Rest of the week is to be near normal with assorted forms of precipitation falling at various times. The strange winter continues.

Working on another cup of coffee, getting my mind ready for another day.

Everyone have a safe and good day.
