Good morning!!!!

[sam5570]

Good morning 42 degrees now headed to high 60's today. I got the mowing thing for today if rain holds off. The weather just seem to be extreme one way or the other we were in drought mode now it's rain last week and rain in forcast every day this comming week. Not complaining just saying, i would much rather have the wet than the dry. everyone have a great day.

Wngsprd glad you are ok lots of drivers out there not paying attention to what they are doing

54 this morning high of 72 later off to see sons girl friend graduate from law school. Rain or storms in our forecast all week as well Sam and grass needs mowed again as well. Still fear it will turn dry in June July and August

Wngsprd maybe you should buy a 3/4 ton Ram mega cab size of a tank for protection a Cowboys Cadillac

Now I resemble that and I must say that I've never worn a cowboy hat in my life...
I'd go with the Ram and the Ecodiesel. Gosh it's always fun to spend other folk's money.
Billy, glad you are ok. Really sorry that happened to you. Neck may be sore for awhile and maybe one of those microwaveable heat wraps would help.
I use them all the time for other reasons and they often work wonders.

With my fused neck, I honestly worry about becoming a quadraplegic after a hit like Wingspread got. Makes me think
I ought to be driving a Volvo instead but a big truck has a lot of crush space in the rear for sure. It's how much G force is transmitted
to our bodies that matters.

wasn't there an old wive's tale that drinking a glass of grapefruit juice would wash all that bad fat away?
A magic elixir...
Eat like a pig and then wash the bad stuff away.

I got jabbed by the arthritis doc yesterday who said I had lost only one pound since the last time I saw him, and my number one priority was to lose
twenty pounds. Same advice as last time. This time, I'm going to surprise him, and maybe myself, and get it done.
He told me I wouldn't be able to keep doing what I was doing much longer unless I lost the weight. Not sure how that will help my
aching neck; does going on a diet shrink the weight of one's head?
But it does apply to the arthritis now going into my feet, making it harder to walk for hours on end. It's that mobility I worry the most about.
All I have to do is pick up a twenty pound sack of bird seed to quickly see what I am hauling around unnecessarily.
Getting rid of that would sure lighten my step.

All common sense and yet not so easy to do. Requires focus and attention and it seems that is often elsewhere.
I just have to stay out of the fast food places. They draw me in like a magnet. No fast food, no ice cream, it's a matter of no no's.
Agree on enough of them and only the good food is left.

Did you know if my info is correct the average human head weighs 20 pounds

Since we are spending other people's money Billies in particular how about a 3/4 ton Ford King Ranch with all the goodies heated steering on down to heated and cooled seats wow. Or for safety factor a Mercedes G Wagon a true tank on wheels with amg package heavy safe and very fast oh I'm dreaming my own dream now. It doesn't hurt to dream does it?

Wngsprd glade your ok that is the worst way toget hit from the back, sorry bout your yoyo, i have a 4 runner it's a 04 and does great. It is very hard to find used ones 5 years old or older people buy them up because they don't like the new ones.

Sam my wife and I owned several four runners in the ninetys all great vehicles best one a 1999 white one did everything we asked and then some 105000 miles time to go and she wanted a car funny though back in small suv now

It feels like a very heavy bowling ball at times, funny, makes me wonder if I could rest
my head on the bathroom scale, would that give an accurate reading.
I actually do have a fat head. 7 7/8 hat size.
Hard to find hats that fit. Nothing worse than a tight hat that puts the squeeze on you from the getgo.
It seems my neck gave up. And since that work stoppage, I'm wondering if the grievance was proper.
Like in my head was 24 pounds or something. And those discs said they were so out of there.

I wonder what the accurate way of weighing a human head is...preferably still attached.

ok, off to plant shrubs.

Billy,

Glad to hear you are ok (mostly)

Big rig or something smaller ?

Thanks for the notes, and the truck ideas. I don't think I'll get much from insurance, so I'll be digging deep into my pockets to pay for a new truck.

The truck that hit me was one of those big Freightliner/MB Sprinters or Ford Transit type vehicles...I didn't get to see it well...but I know the guy in front of me was in a brand new looking Buick SUV. Sorry for his damage, but his looked a lot better than mine.

wngsprd sorry to hear of your accident yesterday-glad to hear you are ok. There is certainly something to be said for driving big vehicles. About 20 years ago i was sitting at a stop outside Boston in my '88 F250 Supercab when a woman in a Taurus (sadly with 3 or 4 kids in the car) ran into me from behind. I never heard any tires screeching, just heard a big bang, then saw the back window of the little Dodge truck in front of me fall backwards into the bed of the truck. That's when I realized I had been hit. I called 911 right away, then got out to check on others. Everyone in front and behind me left the scene in an ambulance and their vehicles were not driveable. My rear bumper had been folded under the truck, but I was able to just drive home!

I have lots of grass to mow, but still too wet. Maybe tomorrow or Monday. Wife and I going off to her visit her favorite plant nursery this morning, just because she wants to look.

Hope everyone has a great day without unplanned expense.
