My niece and her infant son have come down with covid. She was vaccinate. She has lost taste and smell and the baby's temp got up to 102.5. They were coming for a visit this coming weekend.

Sorry to hear that, Don and pray for quick recovery.

good morning all
woke up with huge crash as lightning hit nearby, no way I was going back to bed after that.
Flood warning out for 6-8 inches of rain further East of here, but not here.
Stove clock flashing, we lost power several times last night.

thanks for all the help on the Ridgeline. Note that most of trucks are "in transit".
Dealer said he would know tomorrow what allocation they have. That means in over two months absolutely nothing
has happened on this vehicle, and dealer would not confirm but hinted that the model I wanted had more tech in it (the whole idea) and
apparently less were being made than standard model. And even if he confirms the build on Wednesday, he said it would still be two more months.
There is a new blue color for this year and that's what I want so I guess I'll have to wait for it.

Don, sorry your niece and baby got sick, that's worrisome.
I called my oncologist office yesterday at the insistence of multiple family members because articles are coming out saying a small percentage of folks who
had a certain cancer drug in the last year, I think ributuxin, would have a ineffective vaccination since antibodies would not form. It was suggested to me that I get the antibody
test to confirm if the vaccine worked for me. Doc office said no guidance from CDC (??) and that antibody tests allegedly were very unreliable. I considered the call pretty useless.
And I was told the take at home tests were even more unreliable. A lot of folks go through chemo every year so wonder why there hasn't been more guidance here.

rain stopped and things have quieted down. Weather will still be "unsettled".

Yay!! Signed sale on Friday, Drove home today. My wife has ordered lots of goodies for it. Wheels, led sequential tail-lamps, flares, Raptor grill, and some other bits. I ordered a tub lid. It is getting painted before delivery. Build date is June so it got here pretty quickly.

Coffee is ready to pour first cup. 67° with fog this morning. Heading to 77° with cloudy skies and thunderstorm. Yesterday was drizzle wet all day. No weed killer down yet. Did help neighbor make some hold downs for batteries on his military generator. Will have to wait until Wednesday to try again weed killer. No plans for today.
Female Bluebird is hard to get a good picture. She is always moving while caring for her little ones. Male spends a lot of time watching for intruders anywhere near birdhouse.

Looks like lots of rain around the country. Be careful when out on the roads for flooding.

Alien, nice looking truck. Where is it built?

Don, prayers for niece and son. That they get over virus soon.

Drew, hope you get new truck sooner than later.

Everyone stay healthy and safe.

Good Morning All.

Ron, thanks, but it's not looking good when you consider best case of 2+months and worst case of no ETA.
I guess I'll just have to treat my compact SUV to another detail if I keep using it as a garden truck.
The Ridgelines have a limited number of exterior colors but a new one is medium dark blue and that's the one I want.
The Audi is a dark charcoal blue...and...

There have been so many other things more important to me in the last year that
whining about a new truck is pretty far down the priority list. Trying to learn patience.

Thankfully my lawn tractor shows up tomorrow but without bagging system, that's been on backorder too. But when it comes in they will send a service truck
out and install it. And relevel the mower deck which they said you had to do as the weight of the blower mechanism is all the way out on the end
and it tilts the deck messing up the cut. So you hike up some adjuster on one side and the deck is now level with the blower on.
For now and until the leaves start coming down, I'm fine not having it.

storm is gone and it's pretty foggy out until it burns off.

Dennis, watching the news and J&J /GBS and thinking of you..

I didn’t want the J&J for that reason, since it’s more of a traditional vaccine. There’s always a chance of GBS from flu shots.

We got 1” of rain last night.

Don, hope niece and baby have quick recovery. None of the vaccines are 100%, so wonder if one of the ones it didn’t work for.

77 going to 94...high humidity...will make my walk a bit tough.

Don, sorry about your niece and child...is this Christy? Prayers said.

Buppies, I bet you are ready to go back to the beach already.

Alien, real nice looking truck. Is a tub lid the same as a bed cover?

RS, nice router and extras...hope to see what you make.

I lubed the zero yesterday...got so fed up with my discount store grease gun that I ordered a battery operated one that will work with my other tools/batteries. I've read some of you are very pleased with them, so finally going that route. RNG, I think a few weeks ago you mentioned using Lucas Xtra green...that's what I use, and I've been very pleased.
