Good morning!!!!

Drew, I may have missed it, but what was the outcome of the shed / Rubbermaid? Did you have to return it?

I'm still waiting for Rubbermaid to respond. If I don't hear from them tomorrow, I'm going back to Home Depot and asking for a full
refund. There is no way to return it; it was many pieces shrink wrapped together on a broken pallet. Can't put that back together again.

My thoughts on shed. Rubbermaid had nothing to do with missing part. HD had it laying in a warehouse somewhere. Someone put a sticker on it with shed barcode. Then shipped it to you. That may be why Rubbermaid is not responding. But I have been wrong before.

44 early, 62 later, sunny and breezy.
Had a busy Sunday, started with church and ended with a cup of yogurt in front of the TV. I had a visit from my daughter and grandson, played with the golf cart and generally farted around most of the day.

Today is a bit of a bump in the road, four years ago today I lost my wife of 42 years. I’m very happy in my current life, but I will always miss her.

4 years, how time flies. Extra thoughts and prayers, Randy.

Good article, Gale

"Wealth consists not in having great possessions," the Stoic philosopher Epictetus once said, "but in having few wants." Sounds wise.

Ron, thank you. This was a special order from Home Depot and I thought they told me it came from Rubbermaid direct, but maybe from another warehouse.
Tomorrow I call Home Depot CS, and then likely contest the Visa charge before too much time lapses.

needed excuse to be outside, washed the truck, not much else to do, though I did remember to update EZPass for the truck. DEDOT is just awful with my PA ezpass, have
had more threatening dunning letters from them, and I dish it back. They go away, after I jump through hoops. Nice that I can go out PA using it headed South and then back up the Delmarva peninsula which takes it also.

Drew any chance you could fabricate the missing shed part or have someone make it for you?

Chris, I wish. One panel has notch on upper right, other has notch on upper left with a custom connector made for alleged tool free assembly.
It's very proprietary. I really hope they will send me the right parts because otherwise this is a huge addition to some landfill where it won't break down for a very long time.

Gale, glad you are feeling better.

Ron, when I looked you could get LiOn upgrade for $2500 more. I could easily get 7 years out of
my golf cart batteries after I started using a 48V smart charger on them. I wonder how many more years the more expensive battery
would give you? $2500 equals perhaps three new sets of conventional batteries, seems like a long time for ROI.
Is there an eco reason other than maybe a ten year battery instead of 7?

The lithium batteries are for range so I don't have to get a gasoline cart. This cart with a lithium battery provides a 50 mile range. I can go to the garden, to the trails, to the pool, Walgreens and play cards all in one day without the battery dying.

The lithium batteries last 7X more cycles the the lead acid batteries, 3,500 cycles instead of 500 cycles and no maintenance.

Finally found a Lithium Golf cart that caught my attention, the new EV Titan (Spyder or Rover) and they sell them in the next town about 20 miles away. Maybe next Spring.

Dennis, how do you like that flat top vs regular grill?

Love this griddle for camping. We don’t have to use skillet anymore. Also great for pancakes. I carry my old small Coleman propane grill in the camper also.

I also carry a bag of charcoal and my chimney to light it, in case I want to use the Dutch oven.
I helped start my fire Saturday night by putting burning charcoal on it
