Good morning!!!!

[wngsprd]

My wife's SUV turned over 200K recently, so we've been talking about how we don't even know much about what is even out there nowadays. Although we're in no hurry since my 4Runner went 377K before someone hit and totaled it...it's lucky for her, Toyota just sent me this email with the perfect 230mph SUV featured ...

Hi guys, dropping in from the Outer Banks, been chauffeuring the wife from shop to shop , buying more of what we already have too much of, but then she thinks I do the same. Got to see the new bridge construction at Oregon Inlet, a lot of people here this week, I usually go next week, now I remember why.
Mom is not doing well, she's now a permanent resident of the home, we all hate that. She asked me yesterday why they were still giving her medicine. She was self sufficient from 6 to past 90, it's so sad to see this.

I've likely posted much of this before, but
We have a 2001 Toyota Sequoia Limited. Bought is used in 2004 when we still lived Atlanta. Just barely over 100k now and it has been a great car, but things have started to break, latest being the driver side inside door handle. Seeing more rust, lot of the things that should be flexible are pretty stiff, can't diagnose and electrical window that doesn't work, and a few other electrical mysteries. No doubt, not far from a non economically sensible repair. First choice would have been getting new Sequoia in same trim, but in the $60k range that was a non starter. My wife wants to keep the 3rd seat option (8 pax) as it is convenient when family visits. So next logical choice in Toyota was the Highlander. Talked casually with a number of owners, all pleased. Of course we only wanted the 4x4 model, not a single one available in the state nor anticipated until the new 2017s came in. Not being in any hurry, we could have waited. Fate intervened.
Our Toyota salesman informed me he was moving to the Honda dealership. We ended up getting the 2016 Honda Pilot. Couldn't be happier. Still have the Sequioa, the boss hasn't granted permission to rehome it yet.

David, you were up late, I'm up early.
My closest friend traded in his Pilot for a new Ridgeline. Basically a Pilot with a pickup bed.
Another close friend also bought a Ridgeline. Simply outstanding vehicles, might be the last one you buy, since today
they seem to rust less. Can you imagine racking up 300K miles driving around on the island you do?
Pilot should be a little more comfortable, less trucky than what you have had, and more comfortable than Highlander.
Wish you the best with it.

Got my 8 hours of sleep, was totally worn out from running the tractor yesterday. Neck hurts and right hand is swollen.
I love this stuff but it sure is hard on me. Not like I'm going to stop...
Thunderstorms woke me up last night, really pounded down. More showers possible this morning. Not going to get much done outside.
So maybe a day back inside the barn.

Forgot to start coffee brewing. :ashamed: 44° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 71° with lots of sun. Lighting is done in leanto. Not much planned today. Trip to Sam's Club. Put some weed killer down. Got same weeds in walkway that Don has.
Gas prices here have gone up $.20 to $.30. Not sure if that is because of Harvey or holiday weekend.
David, hope that cold is getting better.
Riptides, prayers and best wishes for your wife.
Good Morning All.

35 right now...brrrrrrr! High about 70 or so.

Since it's supposed to be crisp and clear, we're going to Mount Equinox (Skyline Drive - About the Skyline Drive) today.
The best time to go would be about a month or so from today for the leaves changing.
I was told that's when the tourists and buses are there and it's stop and go traffic. Well, we have plenty of trees here to see the leaves change and I hate stop n' go traffic, so we're going today.
