Good morning!!!!

[toppop52]

I always wanted a sports car, but am just too practical. Can't haul with it, except azz, and higher insurance. First one i bought myself was an 85 chevy s10 blazer, manual.

By the time our second child came along in 1980, we always had a family type car, SUV, etc... in the household, but we almost always had a Sport/performance vehicle as well. My daily has been a truck of some sort for the last 35 years, but until lately there was always a performance or classic around as well. I should add that Lynn was just as big a car nut as I am.

Was thinking of getting a new challanger, but not as a daily driver. still need a new daily, so will probably get a small suv and wait some more for the sports car. Maybe when the 2 boys are off my insurance. But then it will be retirement time, probably won't want to spend the money.

Challenger is a big comfortable and fast ride, and fine looking.

My wife would take it as her daily driver, lol

Drew sorry but no Travel Trailer here, I prefer nice stress free drive with the wife pull into a nice bed + breakfast and let someone else make the bed and cook lol

Motorcycles lots of fun had a triumph tiger years ago after getting married wife said it was time for it to go but I saw enough with the years on the street she was most likely correct.

28 degrees may get to 50 today have to go find something to keep me out of wife's way

Partly cloudy this morning and it's 9*, yesterday it was in the low 30's for the high. Today is going to be mostly sunny and in the mid 30's with 10-15 mph wind.

I got the snow moved off the driveway yesterday. Helped a neighbor take the tires off a utv so she could have them changed out. Her husband had back surgery Monday. He is going to be down and out for 6-8 weeks.

Need to make a trip to town this morning. Not sure about the rest of the day.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend.
CWB.

That's the right "what's mine is yours" truck.

Ron, your link and Amazon's look like two different but similar battery savers. Which one do you have? Are they both the same just $10 difference? Or does the $99 have more stuff?

Unfortunately.......... no trailer hitch Don. Lo siento Chico!

44F, overcast with light rain just to the south. High today may hit 47F.

Not much planned for today, nephew may come over to sharpen saw chain.

Sure Drew would do an even swap, trailer for your other truck. I will if he won't.

 

[txdon]

Ok Ron, now I have to research the difference between those and the new kind of Yamaha charger/maintainer that came with the new cart.

I'm down in my lower back more than I ever have been in my whole life. Not sure what to do, there seems to be a "knot" beside one of my vertebra. I was running a medium sized manual lathe to make a very small part. I had to drill a .0410" hole through a 316 stainless part .400 long. I had to keep pulling the tailstock back and forth to change drills and I "torqued" my back. It seemed to be getting better yesterday, but the wifey and I went out to eat and sat in one of those booths with a straight back. I should have changed to a table with chairs but we had already gotten our food and figured I'd suffer through it. Now I know how Drew feels.

Prayers for all. Rip, I hope your wifey keeps getting better and you get some rest.

Rick, Don, we might have to up the ante. Farmer could meet Drew halfway and trade out a kid/pet free camper for a large load of chicken litter that Drew desperately needs.

The Amazon one is the one I have. The $99 looks like a newer model.
I bought mine at a Car show in Scottsdale, AZ 3 years ago. Have not had to add a drop of water since. Plus no corrosion on terminals.

Got a "new" toy in the shop. No it isn't the kind you will get excited about like the other truck. I have noticed that the gray in my beard absorbs a lot of light so I need brighter lights in the shop. I got an old light at a yard sale last year. One of those that will move around and aim most anywhere for $2 and got a bright LED spot light and that thing put's out the light right where you need it. I love it. Ed

I purchased a LED Head Lamp off Amazon after my son told me how good they are. I got it on a Lighting Deal for $15. I sure helps a old guy see what he is working on. My opthamologist says she can fix my working in low light places problems with cataract surgery. Sorry, for less than $20 and no downtime. I should be good for a few more years.

I don't think this tractor forum is our demise just yet.
