Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

Ron,
have you found any unknown treasures?
I remember cleaning out my grandfather's attic. Forty years of dust on everything.
A real trip into the past, old letters, roaring twenties hats, etc. Nothing worth anything,
but wonderful family memorabilia.

What's your favorite thing you've found?
Drew

47 right now...high of 77 predicted. No precipitation in the forecast.
Guess I'll do some mowing once the dew evaporates...

Wet weather moving into this area. Odd, must have missed that on the news.
80's with light rain and increasing humidity.

Last night I was finishing drywall work on the ceiling of my new building. Man I *hate* overhead work. I need to prime and paint the whole thing by tomorrow at 6PM. In the meanwhile, I am at another day job.....Stress, pressure......

Looking like rain here also.

Looks like rain, dark all of a sudden.
Drew, tell Nadene we are thinking of her.
David, you got good advice from David.

Drew, that scratch is a badge of honor, proves you use it like it's meant to be. As for skegs,I've ground, filed, filled, replaced more on Mercruisers than I can count. If it sits on the trailer it doesn't get broke, but you don't have any fun.

good morning I thought we would get 2 days no rain but looks like it's coming this evening thru Friday. looks like a rough week for the Galax fiddlers convention, I not been sence the early 70's but it was pretty wild then. ok got to get it in gear running behind. everyone have a great day.

daugen; Now you can enjoy driving it, 'cause it's "broke in"! I have a friend that says he takes a ball peen hammer to anything he gets brand new, because once it gets its first ding, he can quit trying to protect it, and get busy driving it!

I have to question the common sense of your friend if he actually does that...I just purchased a new laptop computer...do you think I am going to hammer it....??? JEEZE.....I ain't the sharpest tool on the rack but I am far from dull.

good morning its feeling more humid and 65 getting up to 79 with a slight chance of rain this afternoon.

Morning all. Sunny, 80 with 88% humidity. Forecast high of 93 with 50% chance of rain. When I went out on back porch to feed the dog and the back yard cat, there were six deer just past the deck in the edge of the longleafs. Three of them were bucks. Since they didn't run, I eased back inside and got the camera. Had to shoot through the screen, so the quality is not the best. You may have to enlarge the picture to see any horns. {or not. It just makes it blurry}



My truck mp3 player got in yesterday. It has to be plugged in to the lighter thingie to power up, so I'm heading out to the truck to see if I can load some music on it. It cost less then $7 and was shipped free from Shanghai. No packaging except ziplock and bubble wrap. I wonder if things fall off the back of trucks in China like they do here.

Just don't take the roof off a gas station cover for the pumps or maybe the roof off a McDonalds drive-through. Be careful and let's not show up on COPS or some reality show.

ok, I have to fess up. I really screwed up.
Since age sixteen, when I rolled my pristine 58 Chevy, I have not put a scratch on a car, and that's a fair
while ago. And now I did. With my new motorhome.

Had a great first trip until almost home, and severe summer construction on 95 near Philadelphia really bit me.
Was plodding along in right lane, avoiding the rush of traffic when the road simply disappeared and I am right up against concrete barriers on the right, and zero clearance. My eyes got very wide. And then the bang. Not a big bang, we thought we ran over something and it got kicked up. But something was sticking out of that barrier, because it left a paint scuff down the entire twenty eight feet of motorhome. No denting, hopefully buffable, but a real lesson for me to avoid the right lane in construction at all cost. I always go over there to be polite, but forget about it from now on, I'm in the middle lane and let everyone else keep their distance.

Oh well. Just like in boating, you never bend a prop if you never leave the dock.
