45°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 73° today.
I was a half-hour late for work this morning due to traffic. Inspectors found a crack in the structure of the Jefferson Barracks Bridge across the Mississippi on Sunday, and closed the westbound side indefinitely. As the only way in and out of South St. Louis County from Illinois, all that traffic is now flowing up onto the downtown bridges. Traffic was backed up on I-64 for about 5 miles by the time I got to I-255, moving 2-3mph. Going to be one of those weeks.
Wife sent me a video yesterday of a helicopter pilot doing crazy turns over the house and barn while crop dusting the field across the road. She said it scared the you-know-what out of the dogs ... literally; one evacuated on the sunroom floor, and another while running down the stairs to hide in the basement. I've seen a few crop dusters in the area, but never one using a helicopter. Looked like fun to me. Told The Wife if this Quality thing doesn't work out for me, I might consider that for a career change
Great news about your doctor's visit, Kyle.
RNG, when we were looking, The Wife suggested we look as skid steers as well. She was working for a construction company then, and several of the guys she worked with suggested it. I looked at Bobcat, Case, Takeuchi, and NH, both new and used. New, they are quite expensive. Not so bad used, though. What turned us away was the cost of implements. Wow. Some were 2-3 times as much as their PTO counterparts. Ultimately, a tractor made more sense for us and our needs. Our neighbor with horses, though, went with a skid steer. Much handier for him cleaning out his barn.
Good luck with your rat, Randy. .222, .223, and .22-250 all seem like good medicine for that ailment. I've actually had the most success with proper application of .22WMR.
