Good morning!!!!

"All Creatures Great And Small" was set in the Yorkshire Dales, and featured many residents speaking with that accent. It's good to know we have a translator here on the Good Morning!!!! thread!

I used to work with a Scotsman that I honestly could not understand. My leader, a extraordinary toolmaker from southern England, I thought could understand him. I was wrong! One day I asked him what 鉄cotty just said. He said I haven稚 the slightest idea, mate. Bloody savages!

It could be worse. This is one bay of the Vanagon mechanic's shop:

No matter how talented the mechanic is, he is handicapped by that mess. Really a horror story, and I am not a real neatnic.

Thanks, Ron on the battery minder, I ordered one off Amazon.

You better plan on cooking a lot. My daughters 13 year old friends act like they haven't eaten for weeks when they come over here. Hollow legs and starving.

Nice pics by the way.

And Happy Fathers Day to all.

Eric, it is the fine folks from the folds of Irish backstreets that I can't seem to understand a single word being said. Do you have trouble with their strongest of dialects? That was a funny video. Put some wood in the hole. The Aussie guys were funning with me a year or two ago with their slang about slashing.

Yep, they’re all dancers and gymnasts, eat like boys.

Eric’s Post reminded me of when I lived / worked in the UK back in the late 1970’s. I spent about a third of my time in London and rest in Aberdeen.

When I’d go to the pub, with a few Scots that worked for me, we’d have great conversations until they forgot and started lapsing into Gaelic slang. I’d just sit back and listen and shortly they’d realize what they were doing and we’d all have a big laugh. By the time I headed backwards to the US, after almost 4 years, I got an ear for it and understood quite a bit. Like the US, the UK has lots of different “accents”. It still all English though.

Yup.

RNG - How in H E double hockey sticks did you EVER pick someone with a shop with that organization to do something? I bet he spends half his time looking for a part he knows he has but just misplaced.

I see that you've ordered the XLT, SWB, and I've ordered the Titanium, LWB, so I don't know whether that makes a difference or not, but I've sent an inquiry to my dealer so I'll eventually find out, I guess.

That may make a difference, plus you want it NOW. I'm prepared to "limp along" without it for months.

When I bought my 2009 VW Jetta TDI I waited about 2 months longer for delivery than it would have taken to get a gasser. But the TDI is being bought back by VW due to "Dieselgate".

I just view it as serendipity that my wife had decided on a SWB Ford Transit Connect wagon when "Dieselgate" hit the fan. Then before my dawdling butt got it turned in Ford announces a diesel in her vehicle of choice.

So present plans are I'll turn in the Jetta we will only have my dually in Virginia until the Ford diesel Connect comes in.

That will mean I'll have 3 Ford diesels, and two Kubota diesels

Now if ONLY the SWB Transit Connect had been a dually

65°F and no rain
Happy Fathers Day

Likely spend a bit of time in my mess, but otherwise an easy day with a little socialization this afternoon.

Amazing job with the potatoes, Drew.
Prayers for all

Be safe
Have a great day

Read all of those books in high school, and really enjoyed the series as well. Ever read Watership Down?

I have vampire mushrooms in my hay bales. They grow beautiful four inch tall mushrooms at night,
then around 6am, before the sun gets too full, they all wither as in the picture.
I told someone about my mushrooms and went to show them and where did they go?

First okra is coming in, Alabama Red and Hill Country Red. Cabbage was nasty looking but hopefully edible.
Picked all the Texas Sweets this morning, about thirty pounds worth, lots of smalls. Plus another twenty pounds of red potatoes at 6:30am
after the third pass of the plow. There's more in there if I wanted to rake, but honestly, no.

Friend came over after church, I dug more potatoes for her out of raised garden, sent her home with red, white and blue potatoes; blackberries,
blueberries and onions.

I am so looking forward to a nap. Late afternoon showers expected. They should come since I watered the entire garden today.

No, I don't want it NOW; I want it YESTERDAY!:laughing: No, seriously, my dealer said it'll probably be 4 months, and I don't need to be in a hurry. Of course, at my age, if I don't do it soon, I may not be around to do it.:laughing: I most definitely want the long wheelbase version for the interior space. And I want the Titanium version because I like all the bells and whistles, although you could probably get most of them added to the XLT if you went that way and that would also be OK with me.
