good morning all fairly warm and very foggy this morning. early start, lots to do need to make two stops in town before I leave. first is to drop off radishes to my brother, then to stop at gas station hunting a manual grease gun. I have those zerk lubers on axles of trailers, but could not...

first roses here today too

sure was pleased to see trailer lights blink when I tested them. I wired the trailer for the larger connector, seems to hold on better. Lexus did a really nice job on the hitch. Had some issues with chains hanging down too much so I did my usual bungee cord wrap and that solved that...

if you saw layout of my place you would understand, trailer was stored in back and I can't drive car back to get it, have to pull it out with lawn mower and that has always worked well. yes if trailer was already hooked up, super simple. Not the case, rather interesting ride pulling the loaded...

long morning but finally home with new tires on car and a doing fine by my family doc. 👍 but he said my cholesterol was too high and to stop fiddling with the statins and take them. Ok, they really do work. though I'm sure there are side effects like cramping. now to hook the john deere...

those dents will pound out just fine, this tool on tv says so! I hope he was the driver and moved over, or that is one squished person, sad.

New World screwworms? wonder why some kind of inoculation wouldn't get rid of it. apparently may become an issue for pets too fire ants, screw worms, it's a jungle out there...

in drizzle late yesterday got the hitch finished on new car. very unusual rear door, though I like it, swings to the side not up and down. so the height of the ball just clears bottom of door. I won't be pulling anything that needs the larger ball anyway but the adjustable hitch is great for a...

I believe that reasonable people don't need to be told what is bad for them and greater society. the problem is what do we do with unreasonable people... we live in a society where individuals have to make concessions for the common good. We know we can't eat our neighbors when we are...

now that's a nice truck and nothing but compliments about it online I really like the refresh did you go hybrid or turbo?

that looks darn good. Probably lot of sugar but over some ice cream, yum growing up here locally we had a small bottling company named LaRue, located just outside of New Hope. They had these small thicker bottles and their root beer was my favorite, second was birch beer and then vanilla. a...

interesting gizmo RS https://www.alaskarubbergroup.com/ASSETS/DOCUMENTS/ITEMS/EN/T.F. Hudgins_70874_CAT.pdf pouring hard out as last of system goes through. 2.30 in the rain gauge and rising this was the good soaking we needed. Hearing first of thunderstorms and some house jiggling thunder...

not to beat a dying horse but it seems with a fair amount of moral decline out there, folks are trying to scam the repair shops and dealers a lot more. Seems to be a whole class of folks who have a gypsy mentality. Hit and run and go to another town. you dented my car! that scratch wasn't...

Neck issues came back out of the blue! Will try to take it easy as I can. Phil, if you have bad arthritis/SDDD and bad bones, a fusion can help. Surgeon told me in 2010 my neck would feel great for two years, and then it was all downhill. So fifteen years later I wear a soft collar while driving...
