I've suffered for several years now. Granted it's a little different for each person since everybody has a different arch type. But here's what I figured out that works for me having high arches. A good sneaker that I wear when I'm not working. My doctor recommended "Brooks" sneakers since...

8pm here on channel 4.4. Just barely got internet so we only had over the air channels for 6 months. Jefferson's at 7 and then Barney Miller came on at 8 [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

Our 2023 Hyundai SantaFe is a little over zealous on the infotainment system. It took me a little bit to get used to it. Like I mentioned earlier, my shortcut is to hit the button for what I want instead of trying to hunt on the screen for the tab to press. But Momma loved her Hyundai, so that...

Sync was total crud compared to GM and dodge. We have a 2015, 2018, and 2020 trucks with sync in them. Sync sucks in all 3 trucks. You can see a small difference between all three trucks where they tried to improve it. But it still sucked. In the 2020, you could get apps like Iheart radio. But...

We got a class on the touch screen in my wife's Hyundai SanteFe. The guy said it was easier to do it xx way. But I find it's easier to hit the push button for the option. There are multiple screens to navigate. So if I want to change the station, I just hit the radio button and it opens up...

Honolulu is pretty much Memphis TN with palm trees and a beach. [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33] It was really disappointing. Pearl harbor is nice and super peaceful. Visiting the USS Missouri and wandering around on it was super cool. Diamond head state park is a nice hike and really pretty...

I can't give much for pointers on a rifle since I haven't shot one since my body switched from right eye dominate to left eye dominate [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51] I will say, that with a pistol, I never realized I switched from using my right eye to my left for several years. I found out I...

Yup, I did an amtrak from Pittsburg PA, to Sanford FL, Never again. It's the equivalent to being stuck on an airplane for 24hrs.

My wife was looking for one of those collapsible buggies you see parents hauling stuff down to the beach with. She was planning on using it to haul veggies to the house. That's when I pointed put it would be much easier to drive the tractor over their and load the veggies into the bucket to...

I have a similar wheel barrow [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji1787] my wife said she wanted to buy a utility cart to haul around behind the zero turn for gardening. I pointed out to where we park and said "Why??? There is a self propelled wheel barrow parked next to the...

I got a kick of the doom and gloom referring to the eclipse. There was so much fuss about bringing your animals inside, close the blinds, etc.... The cows across the street kept on eating grass. Heard a couple of moos from the calves, but they have been pretty talkative anyway. Dog picked...

Your phone must take better photos then mine [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787] That's how I got my photos as well [emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787]

First time I've ever seen a sunset in the south and east [emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23]

The budget and haul trailers I've seen and used had hydraulic surge brakes instead of electric brakes.

Diesel driven water pumps start out weighing around 3,500lbs for a 25hp 4" pump and go up from there. Average weight of a 6" pump is around 4,500ish to 5500lbs depending on how they are set up. I driver commercially instate and out. I don't stop for the local weigh stations in the state...

Sounds really good though [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

I would have to agree with you there [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji1787] I came home last weekend and found one of the neighbors young calves wandering around my front yard. Calf is only a month or two old and not used to humans at all. Well I walked out to see if could get it...

They use the same frame and chassis for the 25, 30 and 40hp units in that series. Being that it's a 25hp unit, there is a lot of unused space under the hood [emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Got my wife out on it today getting used to the controls. I spread 5 loads of stone with it a couple weeks ago for the driveway. Absolutely love having the tractor [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Wife and I do similar for valentines day. I'll cook something she likes for dinner. We'll go out this weekend for dinner [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

Airport will cost you $10 just for the sandwich.

That brings back memories of when I was a kid. Lost count of how many times I've ridden on a tractor like that when I was a kid. Also used to stand on the draw bar and hold onto the back of the seat while dad was driving. My twin brother and I were the ballast for the back blade when needed...

I've been knocked down with Bronchitis the past week or so. Well Saturday night, I slept out in the recliner since each time I played down I felt like I had a gallon of water in my lungs. Well gypsy came down and checked on shortly after I sacked out in the recliner. Then went to bed with...

My buddy's brother in law had a great Dane with major separation anxiety. In an hour, the dog did $2,000 in damages to the house, plus another $1500 in vets bills from a deep gash it recieved from a busted window.

Years ago I was renting a room off some friends. They had a PitBull that bonded with me really well. She was an absolute sweetheart, but would get jealous if a women came into the house and sat next to me. If a women sat next to me, Tasha would have to set things right. She would get up on...

I knew about the tunnels. My brother worked for Disney during highschool, plus quite a few of our friends worked there as well. I learned about how the tunnels were built years later. I believe it was a segment on "How did they do that" or "How it was made". One of those shows. I actually...

Actually Disney worlds tunnels are actually at ground level. Central Florida is predominantly swamp. So the normal practice is to build retention ponds for all the ground water. The material from said ponds is used to raise the rest of the area to get it above flood level. Disney built their...

We had a fireplace insert in our last home and loved it. Neighbor was getting rid of theirs and offered it to me. They had used it twice. Install wasn't bad. I contracted with a local fab shop. Took them a cardboard templet and had them fab me up a trim piece to go around it. Sealed the trim...

My mom's got a rescue dog (mixed breed) named Royal. She's about the size of a lab, part pit, kur, and not sure what else. This knuckle head is always bring home critters. For a while it was a male fawn. Mom posted some really cute videos of Royal and the fawn playing. After my step dad...

Local TV station had lower then normal Temps listed on the weather map [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848] that's when I realized they were listing wind chill projections inciting more doom, gloom and panic. Noticed the same phenomenon on my weather app. The banner was showing 4° temperatures for...

So, back when our daughter still had our shepherds brother we dog sat for about a month. So two full grown German shepherds, me and my wife in bed..... it was cozy [emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji23] I woke up one night and had to pee...... badly. But I could not move.... at all...

We adopted two German shepherd pups. They were identical except for genders. We kept the female and our daughter took the male. The male was protective. And they ended up having to give him to a friend of theirs. Said friend takes in homeless people down on their luck from his church...

They only treat main roads around here as well. The rest are left on their own. So you get a thaw during the day and skating rink at night. I had to find an alternative route into work yesterday. Police and a tow truck had the road shut down fishing someone out of the woods...

I work in little Rock. But actually live about 30 miles due north. We got two to three inches at my place.

It's not the snow that gets us. It's all the ice that usually comes before it. And after [emoji849][emoji849][emoji849] They don't have the road budget so they only treat main roads. I was actually shocked to see our road get plowed. But that could have been one of the farmers putzing around.

You didn't have stupid drivers in Mississippi???? We're flooded with don't know how to drive idiots around here. One person even got on the news because she was walking everywhere during the storm. She said she has a late model 4wd at home [emoji849][emoji849][emoji849][emoji849] I thought...

We got a couple inches in Arkansas. Wasn't too bad. But it did shut things down for a couple days [emoji849][emoji849] I got a couple snow days from work so it turned into a 4 day weekend and got free paid days off monday and tuesday since they shut down the shop...

I had actually lived over 20 years in the south. But never had a place that had a heat pump. Both houses in Florida, and my apartment in Arkansas had gas heat, and a stand alone ac unit. The house I bought in Arkansas was the first one with a heat pump.

Coworker did that when I worked for an alarm company. Had a coworker also crush his ring when I worked for the carpenters union in my mid 20's Took three guys to hold him down to cut it off. And that's after we called his wife and she came to the jobsite to talk some sense into him. She said...

The simplest way to explain it is the unit runs one direction while heating. The opposite direction when cooling. It's basically switching where it bleeds off the access heat. Whether it's inside or out depends on whether it's heating or cooling. When it's set to heat, the outside unit is...

No problem [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787]

Not being used to a heat pump in our last house I did something similar [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787] In the winter, we had the heat running. Was outside and walked past the unit just as it went into defrost mode. Well all of a sudden the unit let out this God awful squeal...

The only time I'll wear my wedding band at work is if I know I'm gonna be in meetings or a classroom setting all day.im a mechanic and have seen photos of the after effects of someone catching their ring.

I noticed that as well. But once the lots cleared, the lights on the outside of the rops shouldn't be much of an issue. It will sure see some use this year. I'll be alternating between brush hogging an area. Then chain saw the bigger stuff to clear out the scrub and clean it up. As well as...

Got it figured out pretty quick. I've been running equipment, and tractors since I was 13yo. I've operated a hydrostatic a couple times over the years, but about 99% of my time on a tractor has been with a manual transmission of some sort. With this one being a hydrostatic, I keep catching...

I used to have an old Grey market L1501 kubota that was 2wd. But sold it a few years ago. It was fixing to need a clutch and some other work done. And I didn't have the time or ambition to deal with it. [emoji849][emoji849][emoji849][emoji849] I looked at a Kubota L2501, but they were awful...

Here's some taken right after it was delivered. Then a before and after of the area.

Just like the title says. Just picked up a brand new Massey 1825E with woods bush hog and a box blade. Loader came standard with quick attach bucket. So I'll soon be investing in a set of pallet forks as well.

No, just posted in good morning about it.

I just picked up an 1825E last Friday. Unit was pretty comparable to kubota and Deere. But without the hefty price tag. Dealers just as close as the other two. The big issue I have with kubota and deere is both dealerships were bought out by larger conglomerates. After the buy out, prices...

There is a little. Wife's working tomorrow so I'll be out clearing some around the property. I did notice that the dealer mounted the tires hub out but wider portion of the rim in. So at some point I'll have to pull the rear tires and widen the stance all the way out...

It's funny how they use an engine for multiple applications. My brother had a speed boat that had the same exact motor (Chevy 250 straight 6) as my 65 Belair [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]

It only had 1 cylinder. 400cc.. so one great big piston. You rotated it to the compression stroke. Then pressed the compression release lever. Then gave it he$$. If you neglected to hit the compression release lever, it would kick back and launch the person over the handle bars...

The calves across the street are really inquisitive. They will usually gather at the fence when we are out walking. Of course, one of the adults usually chaperones them to make sure they don't get into too much trouble [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787]

Yup [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

Yup, unless someone knows what that little lever next to the clutch is for [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23]

She's funny with the calves. She gets up close to them. Then starts hopping about wanting them to play with her. There were three up at the fence today. Just got a pic of the one calf and it's momma though.

She has to say hi to the kiddos across the street [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

I had a 400cc Suzuki 1 cylinder for my first bike. Kick start only. The only way it could be spun over is using the compression release lever. If you neglected to hit the compression release, you would get tossed over the handle bars [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51] I won many...

I love the markings on the pooch though. The coat is super pretty.

I posted because his link above said "Waterproof Solderless" was the same kits my coworker purchased for the work trucks. I test the crimp before heat shrinking the ends by giving the wires a tug. The last thing I need or want is to get called back by a pi$$Ed off customer because my repair...

Your just assuming. The kits we have are crimp with heat shrink on the ends. Not a solder connection.

Coworker ordered a couple kits of butt splices from Amazon for our work trucks. To tell you the truth, I was disappointed. The kit seemed really nice. But the metal they use is way too soft so the crimp is extremely weak.

My wife had that happen to her during an ER visit. The hospital was her in network hospital. But the ER doc ended up being out of network. We called the doctor and told them if they wanted to be paid, they needed to file with her insurance first. I had a dentist office do that as well. They...

Wife's had to pass on a couple work from home gigs due to lack of internet. We could go with a wifi box from a cellular provider, but we are in a black hole for cell service. Internet on my cell phone is equivalent to dial up.

Lack of frame support and stiffner for the crane would be my guess [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848]

No charge here. They alotted one port for house. The issue is my place is new construction, so we are waiting on their construction department to install the port. Once the ports installed the can finish hooking use up. I already have fiber run from our camper to the temporary pole. Their...

This absolutely chaps my bottom. I have fiber out at the street, but can't get the local internet provider out to put a port in so their techs can tie us in. We've been waiting 3 months now [emoji36][emoji36][emoji36]

The sweetest sound though was getting a call from my wife today, and it turned out to be my 3yo grandson on the other end of the phone saying "HI Papa!!!" [emoji3059][emoji3059][emoji3059]

My old roommates bought one of the gigantic bags of catnip from Costco. The next morning I got up and was walking through the house in the dark. Their cat was going nuts, rubbing on my legs and meowing. I got into the foyer of the house and starting feeling something crunching under my feet...

I ordered a small table for my wife. It was supposed to be delivered tomorrow. I heard a bang outside a little while ago. Of course it's storming out and raining like a sum beach out at the moment. So I wasn't sure what the noise was, whether a limb came down or what. Then I heard someone...

After seeing that cab, I'm not sure anyone would have survived. Hopefully there wasn't anyone in that sleeper when it came through. I had a family of four hauling out of my shop last week. Husband and wife, plus two kids. Only two seats in the cab, so you know the kids were hanging in the bunk.

Look at the majority of new home construction. It's your cookie cutter neighborhoods that are being thrown up as fast and cheap as possible. [emoji6][emoji6][emoji6] I didn't say I agreed with it. Heck.... I don't agree with most building trends you see.

Most new home builds use pex. If installed correctly. It will last a long time. My issue with the camper we just purchased (second hand) had some cobbled together plumbing that the RV sales place should have caught. The former owner must have frozen it at some point. And did a half arsed...

I would say the installer needs to fix that kink, since it looks like potential time bomb later down the road. I had a crash course in pex pipe this week. It's super handy, but as I found out, it can be a ticking time bomb. I'm still fighting with the camper sales place over the leak we had...

I agree. I've had to explain that to my wife.

Yeah, I'm pretty picky where I stay for work trips due to parking. But if I'm traveling for work, 98% of the time I'm in an F550 service truck w/ crane. So parking garages are an automatic out. I had a trip to Memphis and the manager took it upon himself to book my room instead of me doing it...

Why does it matter whether you put air or nitrogen in?? I've had this repeated conversation with my wife on multiple occasions. She will have a tire that's low at work. My response is ease it to the gas station and air it up. Then she starts freaking out because the tire shop put nitrogen...

Personally, I would have dragged the trailer to a safe spot before I stopped. I've done it many times before. Years ago I had a customer damaged an axle and abandoned the piece of towable equipment on I-40 in Orlando smack dab in the middle of a construction zone. I just whipped up in front...

I've spent around $5000 between front end work and new tires on a truck we used to have. At work.... I've spent quite a bit more than that.

The title sure didn't result in what I thought it was [emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787] My first thought was "Your a brave man Charlie brown" If I tried taping my wife's mouth, I would end up in the hospital [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]

This is something I really don't understand. You can rewire trailer lights for $40 or so. A set of magnetic tow lights will run you around $40ish as well. I don't see any valid reason for running a trailer without lights, whether someone can see the truck taillights or not. What happens if...

We had a Jack Russell terrier. He was super cool. A huge personality, and great dog.Did I mention a huge personality [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji23] The big issue was keeping him in the yard. We had 1.5 acres fenced. But that wouldn't keep him contained. He was a...

The baked beans reminds me of my childhood. Grandma tweeked her mom's recipe for baked beans. They were sweet with maple syrup and brown sugar in them. What was rough, was when she made them. She would prep them. Then put them in crocks and slow cook overnight. The issue was they would...

My daughter has a labradoodle. That thing is a spaz!!!! It's like someone took a dog with ADHD, fed it a bag of coffee beans, and then mainlined the thing with a case of redbull [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33][emoji33][emoji33] To give you an idea how this dog is. Think back to the childhood toy...

My son has two boxers. They are absolute knuckle heads. Of course grandpa might be encouraging some of the antics [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]

I do equal amounts tomatoes and beans in chili. What ever ground meat I have on hand, a large onion, and sometimes veggies if I'm trying to sneak in servings for the kids and grandkids [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Well between moving in the camper, cleaning out the rental, and getting most of our stuff into a storage unit it's been a rough couple weeks. Been in the camper for a week now. I had to extend the stairs out some. They were steep. Gypsy has adjusted pretty well. She's finally coming down the...

Cooling off. Was about 45° this morning. Supposed to 40° tomorrow morning. So I mixed up a batch of chili and have it going in the crock pot. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106] I'll make up some cornbread when the chili is about ready [emoji41][emoji41][emoji41][emoji41]

I was coming back on a two lane highway from Melbourne FL, to Yeehaw junction. I got stuck behind a truck hauling a construction office trailer. Noticed a wobble for a few seconds and then a wheel and hub came off one of the trailer axles. Just as it let loose and traveled into the other...

I had a DOT inspection on a F550 service truck. The dude doing the inspection overtightened and stripped out the lugnuts on one the rear passenger side duals. I was going down a toll road in Orlando FL. I was in the center exit lane which could go either east or west bound onto another toll...

Years ago I was driving down the road and saw a mid 80's regular cab, 4x4, jacked up Chevy pickup sitting on top of a Pontiac fiero at a stop light. [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848][emoji848] A cop was walking around it with a clipboard, scratching her head, and occasionally giving the WTF...

If only he had some way to pull it [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848][emoji848]

Put yourself a painted line on your trailer or take note of something (fender, etc... ) for a reference point for loading the next time. I was one of those weird people that would back my tractor onto my trailer. The way the tractor was balanced, I parked the front tires on the edge of the...

Yeah, but I can also understand why the dude mowing the roadside flipped out and called the fire department. Since it was internal, it had a chimney effect and actually made it look like the woods behind the stump was on fire...

Even using cold water, it worked pretty well on the oil and grease spots on the shop floor.

Went riding with a gal I used to date. The horse I was on had to stop and greet every bug it met [emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787] That was one long ride [emoji849][emoji849][emoji849][emoji849]

And they say animals don't have souls [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

That reminds me of the homecoming football games at my local high school. On homecomingz they would set up a big pallet bonfire on the edge of the field [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji3060][emoji3060][emoji3060][emoji3060]

I've had numerous fires on my property this summer. As long as there is no burn ban, I can burn pretty much anytime I want within reason. I did have the fire department called on me one day. A large rotted stump caught fire. The fire actually traveled through the roots under ground. All of a...

I don't have the luxury of not answering on my work cell phone. It could be a customer. Granted I've answered and hung right up as soon as someone starts in on a solicitation speech.

I just bought 5 gallons of ZEP purple degreaser from home depot. Got it mainly for cleaning the shop floors since I have a self contained filtration unit to recycle the water in the wash bay. I had a radiator that needed to be cleaned. It was clogged solid with dust, grime, and probably a...

I have an electric Karcher that I picked up for minor little stuff around the house and washing the cars. I like the fact that once you let off the handle and it reaches a certain pressure, the motor shuts off till you squeeze the handle [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

I had the 12,000 pound brother to that machine dropped off at my property for a week. You dhould have seen the logs and other crap I moved with it. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

There was no difference in price. When I renewed my license several years ago, the lady said if I wanted to upgrade I could just bring in the required paperwork and they would issue me the other license. When we did get around to getting the enhanced license (2 years ago when we moved) it was...

I notice the hate for coal.... but nobody says squat about paper mills [emoji849][emoji849][emoji849][emoji849][emoji849] I've been in a few different paper mills that are probably more detrimental to the environment then a coal fired power plant.

Half of the loud mufflers around here are young kids. The other half are older guys with older beat up trucks. Pops had a 1980ish dodge. When the stock muffler rotted/ rusted out, he just went down to the autoparts store and bought the cheapest replacement they had which were cherry bombs if I...

I never complained when my neighbor next door would mow his lawn either early morning or at dusk in the height of summer. You tend to make concessions when it's gonna be 100 plus degrees with high humidity.

Heck.... when we plowed snow, we started at 3am. Our customers wanted their driveways cleared, sanded and salted so they could leave for work in the morning. Never had a noise complaint. If we did, all we would have needed to do was let the rest of our customers know about the complaint. It...

That's been our experience with the fresh corn we've picked up this summer. I bit into an ear of corn and shot my wife who was sitting a few feet away on the couch [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787]

That was my thoughts as well. I purchased a low light option to put on the post by the door. Since the ramp is only railed on one side, I wanted something so someone didn't step off the edge and get hurt. Same order, I also purchased a solar powered motion light that has a remote. This way I...

It's not getting moved until we have a home built and it's ready to be sold. At that point, I'll move the deck.

Out there tonight it was so pieceful and quiet. Awful dark too [emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787] It will be nice to get away from the light pollution of the city. I will need to address a couple lighting issues outside. But no biggie. I'm gonna install a solar powered motion...

Picked up takeaway and the pooch. Letting her just chill for a bit and get used to the camper. Hopefully this move won't stress her put as bad as the last one.

Electrician finished their stuff Tuesday. Power company set two poles and hooked up power on Thursday. So today, I hooked up water and power to the camper. Finished hooking up the septic line from the camper. Then finished the deck. Got everything tested out in the camper. And finished...

Doesn't effect me. I happened to have the needed paperwork in the truck when my wife and I did an address change a couple years ago. I can't for the life of me remember why we happened to have the paperwork with us, bit it sure came in handy. We went ahead and updated our licenses while...

Just like any hitch, bull dog hitches have their draw backs as well. I work in the rental industry, we either use bulldog hitches or pintle hooks. The issue with the bull dog is you need to keep the pivots lubed so rust doesn't take over. The second draw back, is if someone slams into the...

We've discussed those. The only issue is it coming on all night long due to critters. I haven't had an chance to look yet to see if they have any that offer an off and on by remote.

Been working on the deck this weekend. Gotta get a couple more pounds of screws and 3 bundles of 1x2 to finish the railings. We had to keep the side closest to the camper open so we had access to the the storage bins. One of the bins has outlets that I need to access for the heated water hose...

I just have the pneumatic that accepts standard grease cartridges.

Lock a lube [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji41] well worth the expense. Especially if you have a hard to reach spots that you need to grease regularly. Clip it on and then get into a more comfortable position to pump the grease. Had a new guy at work complaining about greasing...

I haven't had much luck fishing either. Our luck yesterday was all due to the captain and his assistant. They set up the poles. Cast them out. And we took turns on which ever pole started going ballistic.

I had choice coming in a going out. Houston or Atlanta. I've never had a flight delayed or canceled out of Atlanta. I've had every flight delayed or canceled out of Houston. The flight I was supposed to be on this morning out of Jacksonville FL suffered a catastrophic failure and hence the...

Woke up to a whole bunch of drama this morning. Had texts and emails from the airline. They canceled my flight out this morning. They rescheduled me for a later flight into Atlanta. Then I got to look forward to an 11hr layover not landing in Little Rock till after midnight...

Freaked me out yesterday when I got off the plane. When I switched my phone from airplane mode I had a text from my chauffeur [emoji15][emoji15][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji1787] That's something I'll probably never get used too. Gotta get packed and get some sleep. Getting...

Fishing was a success [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106] We got 3 tarpon and some redfish. Only one redfish was a keeper. I caught the first tarpon. They figure it weighed around 50 to 60 lbs. Second tarpon caught was similar size. Last one was between 80 and 100lbs...

Nice balmy and sticky this morning. [emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787] walked out to.the beach and got pictures for my wife. I think the kids are gonna catch he!! when they get home from Europe. She's a little ticked off that she couldn't join me here...

Thank you. It was a nightmare. My issue was a botched root canal late last year. The dentist missed part of the root. The dentist office I was using had a revolving door of dentists so I never really saw the same one. The original dentist was flacky. The next one was practicing way above...

Morning. Nice balmy 66° out. Up at 3am to catch a flight to a work shindig. It's an appreciation for the service managers who recieved top shop last year. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106] 2 days at a resort in Florida. Not sure of what's all going on. They did say that the attire for...

I had the first two. But thankfully my blood pressure is still good. It's been high the past month the two times I've had it checked. First time I was going in for out patient surgery. Had a tooth abcess the day before. Of course I couldn't take any pain medication. They gave me something for...

Nope [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

I believe it.... I'm in the rental biz but occasionally get customers equipment in for assessment and repairs. If they come in filthy, I explain that they are looking at a minimum of 1.5hr labor up front for me to run it through the wash bay so I can actually see what's going on on top of the...

Ahh.... the poor baby [emoji26][emoji26][emoji26] I hate seeing them when they get like that.

I remember those days [emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23] come out of the store and find a couple bags of yellow squash or zucchini in the back seat [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji1787] Course that was back when nobody had AC in their vehicles and didn't lock their cars.

Years ago, I had someone spike my drink at a bar thinking it was funny. Not sure what they put in it, but it made me sick as he!!. It was 5° outside and all I had was a regular cap pickup. Cop found me in the bars parking lot with the truck running and me stretched put across the seat of the...

Local guy had a pink moped. He would run it down to the boat dock. Load it on his party barge. Cross the lake so he was closer to work and then hop back on the moped.

No.... This guy lived in East Middlebury Vermont. Anyone who lived in that area from the mid 80's to early 90's knows who I'm referring too [emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23]

Ahh.... that reminds me of the town drunk growing up. He lost his license after a bit and had his car disabled. He then moved on to a bicycle. He would only ride his bicycle the 1/4, mile up to the gas station. Buy his case of beer and then ride home. The issue was he would ride the...

Nice and balmy 60° out this morning. Day two of 12 with the little man [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106] his parents are in Rome for their 10 year anniversary. Creeped on them this morning and looks like they made it there in one piece. Got the trailer hooked to the truck. Fixing to go...
