Good morning!!!!

[wngsprd]

71 and foggy going to 84 and more rain. The area around Charlottesville got nailed yesterday...up to 9.2 inches of rain.

Prayers said for your family, Kyle.

Part of the yard dried enough to mow some yesterday.

Eric, are you feeling fleecy today?

Roy, nice you got your chipper going...sounds like you have a lot of work for it.

TxDon; are you going to move yourself or hire it out?

Both. We will move a bunch of the smaller items ourself but the the big heavy stuff will be for the crew with a bobtail truck. The moving company said by doing it that way they can do the move in a day - 3 guys one truck. The new owner here has a cargo trailer he is dropping by tonight, he doesn't need it till we are out. The house has the optional connected third garage that we will use as our unloading area. The best thing we did was to add a lease back agreement to our place for a month so we would not be rushed moving. Not that we will need the entire month but the new owner knows from the start that it was one of the contingencies.
I found a club for Whipper and me: Sun City Texas Community Association*Microsite Home

For sale: Snake boots, size 10, never tested.

Eric the house is a two year old house.

Is real estate appreciating in the Sun City community? Or, like a car, is it better to let someone else take the depreciation hit when buying new?

That's what they asked when I retired to the country. Never a dull moment even when I searched for one. Soon with over 100 interest groups and clubs, it's not "what am I going to do with my time", it's "do I have enough time to do everything".

My theory is Don is in the witness protection program,and was forced to move once his compass rose was found on google maps.

Appreciating., and there are 2 backups if we back out.

Wow, what a lot of clubs !

Whipper may like the nature club if they will tell where the snakes are hiding.

Keep the boots in case you decide to join the line dancers


I guess that shooting out of the window or off the porch is frowned upon in Sun City and that using the golf course bunkers as target backstops is not exactly encouraged either, so if I lived there I would happily part with the $12 to join the hunting and fishing club. Maybe the woodworkers club too, though hard to tell as can't see much about that one without a password - perhaps you need to join the computer club first to learn how to hack into the woodworking section.

That’s why there will not be an identifiable landmark in the yard viewable by satellite.

Buckeye, video recording of your axle repair would be nice. :tractor:
.

Thinking about that. Watched some youtube video of one repair, but no axle replacement. Gotta open the whole thing up. Hopefully nothing gets lost or out of place.

Well I looked closer at air suspension seat prices and as Kyle said, they are not exactly cheap, so I may be about to be fleeced.

Good Morning!!!! 53F @ 5:00AM. Partly cloudy. High 68F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.

Is your mom coming to Sun City with you, Don? Seems like there would be a lot more support and activities there for her there as well...

Sometimes it's just easier to ride the horse in the direction it's already going, Buckeye. And maybe the new axle kit includes redesigned parts to prevent the failure in the future?

Two hours of peaceful sitting in the mostly empty cheery orchard yesterday morning, and one less sparrow that was bound and determined to finish its snack but succumbed to the second shot from the old RWS pellet *****. Gosh, that thing is over 30 years old now and still looks brand new. And now I see that there are all kinds of accuracy improvements available for it...

Very nice day for a motorcycle ride up the canyon, but also a very nice day for road construction. Three stops on the way to Belden, then the same three stops on the way back, but the delays were short and not much of a bother. It's all supposed to be done today, and looked mostly completed as our little guided caravans passed through.

Another round of head bolt tightening and valve adjustment this morning, then ride the thing to town for shopping and errands. Another cool day, the last before it makes a run for the hundreds over the weekend.
