Today started out a clear and sunny 30F with anticipated temperatures to get into the 60F's. I see a good run of dry weather ahead.
A great day for the "Dump Run" and further "ride test" copilot Brogen. We learned today he could not successfully bail from a partially nor fully opened rear Tundra quadcab window. His failed ejection certainly impressed a postal patron.

It impressed me too

. We returned home and I got that

window back up, but it no longer works so "well."

Test #2 went better; I could hear him protesting from the post office. Test #3 after a 30 minute ride he tolerated my disappearing act into the local feed/petfood store for more birdseed and more breath "Greenies" or at least I could not hear him. The return home went w/o incident. This may be an expensive learning moment.

The sad thing is is that I have BTDT before at the PO. That time my St. B. broke into the PO looking for my wife. That impressed a lot of people too.



. Luckily the Postmaster loved St. B.'s. Live and learn.
Don- Thanks for the cobbler recipe. My wife makes really decent fruit cobblers depending on what is available. We get few if any home produced apples, peaches, or berry products; but the local wildlife is well fed. Despite the profusion of wild strawberries I never get any

.
Ted- It is great to read that the ROM is improving and you are exercising decent self-restraint on the PT.
Randy- I hope that your upper respiratory illness stays there, does not go lower, and passes quickly. I hope that you have a good time with your and Ellen's cruise and carshow.
Ron- Thanks for sharing your deer picture.
"Thomas think winter is about done with you I'll bet you are glad"- Buppies I agree. I still have snow in my woods and shaded areas, but Winter is over. I see quite a few more frosts ahead, but no snow.


My yard is a total disaster; much worse than the usual eyesore.
My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers for all and hope that everyone has a decent weekend.
