Good morning!!!!

[wngsprd]

Didn’t go to the doc, started pushing the cherry juice and water and the pain is already going down. Will see what the next couple days brings. Pouring rain here with temps at 37. Might change to snow overnight if the temps drop. Weather guessers aren’t sure. Thanks for all the prayers/good wishes.

Glad it is better. Good to drink as much water as you comfortably can.

Working on selling this one now, 1982 Gazelle kit car on an 80 Pinto undercarriage, extremely well built but strange, no allowance for any heat, but cold air conditioning. I guess they figured to be summer only rides. This one hopefully is headed to York, PA.

I've seen a couple of those cool cars on the road and never knew they were Pintos inside .

As far as jumping road blocks, they've already killed one guy for doing it, and much as I want to go home, I don't want to that bad.
Here's a link and video:
VIDEO: Fatal police shooting in Camp Fire evacuation zone; man suspect in homicide case

"Spike strips were deployed and Hendrix tires were flattened by spike strips and his car came to a stop on its rims. . .
Seven officers fired their duty weapons, which included handguns and rifles . . ."

Might as well wait a few days so you don't have to get new tires and get shot at.

Especially if you are a suspect in a double homicide, lead cops on a high speed chase, are in violation of your weapons and pipe bomb probation and jump out of the car holding something with both hands pointing it at the Officers.

Yep, 2.3/C4 combo.

Don, I did a DuckDuckGo search (thanks Ron) and found this at the Oxford Academic website (long comprehensive article on gout, so only pasted this part on intelligence). Of course, trust the internet at your pleasure.

UA and intelligence

. . .That is to say, the highly gifted people and their families have a higher prevalence of gout at earlier ages than the general population. However, other authors have not seen this association between UA and higher intelligence [49], and the findings observed are difficult to separate from the eating and social habits associated with economic, cultural and intellectual situations.

Thanks for finding the info.

"Especially if you are a suspect in a double homicide, lead cops on a high speed chase, are in violation of your weapons and pipe bomb probation and jump out of the car holding something with both hands pointing it at the Officers.

But the cops even shot their own dog. ! ! Does their training just say "point in the general direction and keep pulling the trigger."

Good evening all. 30F this morning, mostly sunny, near calm wind. Sky stayed clear, wind stayed moderate, and high temp was 49F. Choir practice started the day, Leaf sucking took up most of the rest of it. Did get 6 lawn bags up today. By the time I got lunch and nap it was almost dinner time
Mpham , glad the juice and water are working.
Drew, you have to be one of the more popular contributors to the food bank!!:dance1:

Got the Christmas lights done earlier today. Had some cars drive up the road to see. Couple of neighbors got their's up also. Took a couple of pics from the road, then down the driveway, up the walkway, then the porch.

Wifey started a competition....she did the tree and associated inside deco....you guys have to decide....here's the outside pics. I'll post her's in a moment. Unfortunately, my outside pics didn't turn out like I thought they would.

30 tonight. Also the high for tomorrow. With snow flurries overnight. No accumulation expected as ground is still quite warm. Has yet to freeze solid this year.

Several thanksgivings as usual. 4 total. Think I did well, didn’t gain any weight from the holiday. I over ate at every meal but then managed to skip one meal that day and keep the calories in check. I’ve lost 20 lbs since June when I had my gallbladder out. Still have some more to go.

Happy belated birthday and anniversaries to all those that have celebrated.

Managed to get some more bush hogging done. Have about 10 acres left for this fall. Just need weather to cooperate for a few days.
Spent time today working on wife’s Tahoe. She started complaining of a popping noise in drivers front. Took it to a buddies place and found the sway control arm end link broke. Replaced both of those and a headlight bulb. Headlight bulb was more expensive than the end links. 3 hours. Including diagnosis and getting parts.

Rng hopefully your evacuation is lifted soon.


Question for you guys. At how many hours would you stop looking at a used tractor?
Kubota is coming up on 3 years old and 1,100 hours. 3,000 hour dpf. I really don’t want to go past that filter life. Do I look at trading in next year before 1,500 hours or keep it to 2,000-2,500 or see how many hours a kubota will run?
