2.29 inches of rain since Saturday night, no longer in immediate need of rain.
I was buying Mother痴 Day cards for my daughter and daughter in law, standing there looking at the categories, when I saw (Wife), I just started crying like a baby, I guess I知 not over that stage, 42 years was a long time though.
I am so sorry Randy. I did not think I'd ever get over my brother's death. It hit me hard, and that was way back in '90. But nowadays, I find myself laughing mostly when I remember all the crazy stuff he did. His B'day was May 10th. He played a right handed guitar upside down, finger picking style. He could play Croce, James Taylor, Gordon Lightfoot, Taj Majal, and many, many other artists. He usually played 2 or 3 command performances of Alice's Restaurant on Thanksgiving for his friends....He came home stuffed, from meals that couldn't be beat.
Details please! What color, our Forester has 97K miles was thinking of trading it in. Post a few pics.
What extras do you have on it. I could fly down and drive it back.
Uhhmmmmm, that'd be fly UP and drive it back down....
Starting off with quite a thick mist this morning. I'm not complaing, in my haste to get out yesterday I missed part of my neck when rubbing in sun screen, then couldn't get to sleep last night for the sun burn.
Andrew, that has to be one of the best formal family pictures ever !

we've only got 4 kids, so far" . Photographer may be needing a wider angle lens if you have too many more
That love affair with diesels is cooling in Europe, thanks to VW's cheating. Diesels dropped 40% in the UK last year, now accounting for just 33% of new car sales.
Diesels used to be much more economical to run, however the engine improvements over the last few years have narrowed that gap. The mpg figures for vehicles sold in the UK always tend to look good - our vehicles drink generous imperial gallons, not those diminutive US gallons that leave the engine always feeling thirsty for more :laughing:
Mazda has supposedly harnessed running a gasoline engine like a late model diesel. Using split second timing of high pressure fuel injection into a really high compression cylinder. It has the potential to CHANGE THE WORLD.

If they get this to market reliably, I will be a huge Mazda fan.
Came home from work, had to pressure wash the love bugs off the car. Then I watered the garden and picked 5 nice yellow squash. Waiting for the tomato explosion....Hope I ain't counting my chickens too early.
Also sanded the 4310's fender grab handles. They are made from a glass reinforced plastic/rubber and as they age, the glass fibers become rather itchy and bothersome, so I just take some 150 grit or so, and sand them a bit by hand. Works great.
We let the chickens roam outside of the pen for the first time, for a while tonight. We had all hands on deck to round them up if they decided to split, but they hung around.
I need to mix up some roundup and go spray it in the middle of our pasture on this weird weed that somebody called bunch grass. It is like dallis grass on steroids, only it likes to grow about 4-5 feet tall if you let it. It is like cutting steel cable when you try to shred it...
Drew, I want a ride in your boat when you hit the lottery.
I will mix drinks to make myself handy.
Prayers for Rip and wife, Bef, Jay's wife, everybody's aches and pains, and rs too.
rs, I saw on the Austin news about people putting their plecos in the San Marcos river. They've hired a guy who snorkels with a Hawaiian gig and he brings up bunches of them there in San Marcos. They have actually installed a garden pond tub with a sign for people to "Put unwanted aquarium fish here" to combat the situation. My pleco is about 9.5 years old, and about 9" in length. He is starting to harass my angel fish, not sure why??? If he continues, he might be turned into compost. My middle daughter named him Albert. Not sure why. On 2nd thought, I might take him to my old barber's tank that is so full of algae, you can't see into it...
