Good morning!!!!

Drew, you might as well wait for a 2022, no sense in paying a premium to get a year old truck.

Normally I would agree but 1)I'm not paying a premium, negotiated a decent discount off list and
2)they just refreshed this model so it will be years more before any more changes

A first year version of any vehicle would give me pause, Drew. Too much chance of there being some fundamental problem they didn't pick up and fix during the prototype stage. And that you only find out about when it manifests, then go to the dealer and they give you a blank stare and tell you "we've never heard of that before, and it's not doing it here". Then you go on the net and find out there are thousands of others with exactly the same problem. DAMHIKT...

Had that experience with my Kia Soul, RNG. Argued with the local dealer for a couple of years about an issue with the bright lights and turn signal lever. One day, a post card showed up with a recall for that very issue.

69°F and .02 inches rain.

Back out into the fields and continue mowing. Looking much better this time around.

Drew, the prices on those Sport Ridgeline exceed my RTL-E even with our Hawaii premium. Still very happy with mine.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

78F and mostly cloudy @ 13:00, headed up to 80F for the high, HI currently 80.

Thought it looked like it might be drying up some out there, but I see we have had 0.19" since midnight. We do have a 51% chance of a shower or thunderstorm and looking at the radar it probably won't be long before they get here.

Vast improvement in the Ten Day forecast: only showing rain on four days out of ten.

Hopper feeder is due to be filled and fish are due to be fed (missed them yesterday) Probably put out mealworms again today for the bluebirds, also need to close up one nest box that is still open.

Probably start to tackle the right curl cylinder on the Kubota tomorrow when the chance of rain goes down to around 25% or so. Really should get some JIC plugs or a union to block off the lines when they are disconnected.

Doing some spraying tomorrow is also a possibility.

Picture of living room @ the home I visited yesterday:

Today will likely be more paperwork and a haircut though ... it's gotten so long I can hardly stand it.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe day ...

Prices here for the truck are 35-44 and I negotiated a 2k discount off sticker on a RTL-E to 42k.

RS would be proud of me today, boy did I plant hosta. Landlord brought over mother load of thinned plants from her estate and I was happy to take them.
Worked constantly until all were planted, a bit sore now but good PT actually. Planted in front of cottage and all along the driveway.

Morning all, Cloudy, drizzly, foggy and warm
All my yard work is piling up with the bad weather. Bushes need trimming and still need to clear out the felled ash trees, and fell a few more to clear that one area. and then start on the lower bike trail. And plant the black eyed susans and ....

Brother I hear ya ...

RS - nice haul on the router- been eyeing one myself, but where will I store it and think the wife will not be happy !

Thanks.

Just got to shoehorn 'em in wherever ya can ...

 

[rswyan]

Nice hosta Drew ...

We need to add additional variety here ... it's on my list of things to do ...

 

[rswyan]

Looks like you made out pretty well on the router, RS. Not a lot left in terms of accessories to buy, 'cept maybe a router table.

Yeah ... I first thought that there was a table included but after looking at the ad again I saw that it was only a fence, not a table.

Will keep my eyes open ... if I have enough patience something will probably show up.

Glad the u-joint replacement went well ... and the correct fittings are now on the way ...

Alien, nice looking truck. Where is it built?

Ron, It is a Taiwan build. Can't fault it but time will tell. Very popular trucks here. Outsold all others in Aus this year. Even left Toyota in its' dust and they have been leaders for years. They are everywhere. Glad I didn't buy another brand cause I would feel inferior. LOL
Lots of gadgetry in them now. Quite amazing.

txdon. Very sad to hear your family is suffering. Sure hope they get through it OK.

wngsprd
Yes. Pic of one here. It has remote locking and gas struts.
