Good morning!!!!

[Looking4new]

Phones will still boot up, but only can dial 911. You can still access wifi internet and run the old apps on my old samsung.


I was just told the dealer in my hometown is sold out. He said that the factory took a week off to re-tool. Says he can't keep them in stock. I did find out they offer an option to delete the lid lock, allowing you to throw that pair of socks in after you've started it.
He said most of these units will last a family about 25 years with very little trouble. I just got a TC5 quoted for $1479, so not cheap, but the button allows you to deep fill the unit if you have a big load.
Hope y'all are feeling better.


Awesome about your dad. I told my 96+ yo mom he was driving his tractor until this past year.
spacex to the rescue. Sad about the astronauts getting stranded up there because of crap happening in some circles.


Nice rides there. Snazzy or Doozie comes to mind.


Keep venting here. We are listening and praying. Try to meet with other people, just to get out. Talk with a pastor.
I would surely come visit if I lived nearer.
Prayers for both of you.

Been taking the online hunter's safety course. My son just started his last night. It takes many hours. We have a class Saturday morning at 9am about 2 hours away.

Have been side tracked by busy work and taking care of mom. She's so appreciative.

At work, I joke about having 25 bosses. I have a new boss, whom is a young guy who joined our team a few years back. He just finished his masters. I'm glad he can do all the bureacracy and I can just keep doing my job the same as I've always done. Had I taken the boss job, I would have had to change my duties and then we'd have no one to really maintain the equipment.

We have mowed the spring weeds already twice down here.

Don, y'all really have a nice home!

Do any of you have a LAZY BOY electric recliner that has a control to recline and raise the footrest? Can you recommend them? My mom needs one.

Prayers for our team.

My Dad had one that I used a few times when he was out getting drunk and I was with Mom. They are good 'n' expen$ive.

I did 4 goodyear camper tires last year around $750, or $180 per tire installed.

You are probably going to have to get 4 more this year. Goodyear tires are only good for one year.

The two inches of snow we got overnight is gone. Another 3/4" coming tonight and tomorrow. Probably wont plow that either.

Coffee is done brewing. 40° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 46° with some sunshine. Got new mailbox installed. Neighbor decided to get one similar to mine. May work on that today. Got plenty of steps in yesterday. Hope to get over 6K in today.

EVeryone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

 

[NHBX]

Good morning,
30° now highs around 60° and partly cloudy today, winds SW 10-20 mph.

Yesterday was another putter around day, to windy for much of the day.
Usual dump run this morning and ??? The rest of the day.

Enjoy your day everyone
Stay safe and healthy

good morning all
right around freezing now, headed up to 60 today, another cold night tonight and then a slow warming.
I'm ready for warm...

no plans yet for my Saturday
second cup of coffee will wake me up enough to decide what to do.

Mostly, sorry about BIL, sadly pancreatic cancer is hard to survive.
Glad you got a chance to spend time with him.

Ron, would you do 2k steps for me?...when I get to 6k, the gas tank, and my back, are flashing stop.
ah the golden years

 

[ronjhall]

Drew, you need a Sassy. Mention the word “WALK” and you are off for an another 1k walk. Got 2 of those in yesterday.

 

[daugen]

I read an article on the new EV Escalade. 150k gets you a 9,150 pound suv that apparently
is quite good, assuming A. you wanted it and B. you can afford it.
at issue is the death rate on our roads, which is far higher than other developed nations.
Why? our cars and pickup trucks weigh so much and now EVs are all 1-2000 pounds heavier due to batteries.
you get hit by one of these new gigantic vehicles, which are similar to an F450 truck, your
Nissan Versa might fold up like a tin can.

let's say it's even less good to be driving a really small car today outside of the city.

I could not drive that Escalade over my town's main bridge, which has an 8000 pound limit.
maybe they will have to put a warning sticker somewhere, or take the rv nav approach and know
bridge limits before hand.

it really is wretched excess to build 9000 pound suvs, normally these vehicles are just big ego plays.
the idea that it is "green" to drive an EV like this is just silly. Today it's mostly for performance.

Ron, talked to family in last few days. Told them I'm finally (after 11 years) ready to find a lady friend perhaps
more than a friend, and/or a dog. Both have merits...
I need to call this lady up, a high school classmate, who went on to be an oncology brain surgeon, yes one of the smart ones,
and who I had a crush on, totally unresolved. We never went out. But maybe 60 years later, ?
talk about approach/avoidance, I am chicken as can be.

 

[Thomas]

25F cloudy day low 50's for high.

Outside chores done E muffin time.
Plans for today...4 hours at part store afternoon if winds calm down might try clean couple section of lawn.

Enjoy your day all.

 

[Looking4new]

Good morning, the low is 22 and only going up to 25°F. Wind N 22 gusting to 31 mph. Flurries. Fluffy white stuff is falling as I type.

I don't think I will be doing anything today. Another conserve energy day.

Drew, a dog will cost you less and listen more.

Talking to my old foreman yesterday and he volunteered to adjust the valves on my tractor the next time he is down this way. That'll be sometime between now and June.

Have a safe day all

44 high of 66 spent 5 hours with Holly mostly good until last hour. She will not eat food so I bring her peanut crackers since they search you and food not allowed. Because I’m known diabetic they let it pass. Large fire at Hanging Rock on 311 saw it as it started. When I went by last night road had just opened up to one lane lucky me would have added 45 minutes to trip as it 50 minutes one way. Did not sleep much may go back to bed not sure.

I will go downstairs and get some examples of my long hair music. ZZ Top I do not consider that long hair but Southern Rock just me now mind you.

Prayers for all our Country
