Good morning!!!!

[toppop52]

No, I lost a few grand on the Genesis but last year made an extra six grand selling the Audi at top of market. And I will get my money out of truck.
So...kind of a wash. But at least no loss. Didn't know my truck was a rotter or the car had a bad rear end.
The car and truck were first used vehicles I had bought since high school. I think I'll stick with CPO or new from now on, though likely I'll have this Volvo a long time.

At least six months, right. LOL

I don’t buy and sell like I use to, since I was 16 I’ve had 146 vehicles, so I can empathize.

Morning all, 45 and more rain, must be spring!
Heat is working, all is right.

Kyle - glad all is ok, sounds very scary
Drew - Need to check out the new ride

We'll see if I can finish unpacking the car from the stuff my brother gave me. Anyone need some big coolers?
Got some rafting tubes, those I can store, and a few tools. Nice old sander and a skilsaw. Need to see what shape that is in.

Got a picture from my cousin showing us as kids with Moms and dads and grandparents. Really neat to see everyone so young.

One line I never hear, do these chainsaw chaps make me look fat

Stay safe and be well,

Someone likes the gamecam

Ahhh, cranking numbers, fun, fun, fun.

I’m sure you know, a year goes by faster every year.

Ain’t that the truth.

I did check, no alligator bites.

Buppies, hope knee recovers soon.

37°F and light rain this morning, going up to 45° today. Looks like the rain will be done with us sometime early afternoon. Three days was enough.

Wife is off to visit our new investment guru. Time to start getting a better idea of when I can stop doing this everyday, and join the retired ranks. I'm already ready.

Those are always fun pics, Ken.

Good Morning!!!! 61F @ 8:00AM. Sun and clouds mixed. High 84F. Winds light and variable.

Glad you and the family are OK, Kyle. I'll bet that is an evening the kidos'll never forget!

If you end up with a BMW CPO, Drew, it's no guarantee there still won't be problems. After five new issues, I got rid of the only BMW car I've had, and won't be buying another one. You're not the only one with problems, either. My friend in Klamath Falls bought what he was told was a Jeep Cherokee 4WD that, when it was shipped to him, turned out to be a 2WD. The seller wouldn't make it right, and he's still stuck with it. Today he's picking up a Honda Passport 4WD, which he thinks is a rebadged Isuzu, and he paid $2K over KBB because the seller said he'd replaced/updated all the known bad parts on it. I hope for his sake that turns out to be the case.

It's never too early to start planning for retirement, Paul. And it's almost never early enough when you finally do take it, either.

It was a good day yesterday, clearing wise. I talked the dozer operator into back dragging his work to smooth out the worst of the cat tracks, and he doubled the size of the clearing I did earlier this year. Only took him an hour to do what took me several days with the tractor. But he just pushed the dead manzanita bushes to the property line, where I stacked the wood I knocked down and later bucked and palletized it.

I also got the drone out and made a video of the progress so far. But after watching it, I want to do it over again from a bit lower altitude to get more detail. Flying more slowly over the area will help, too. But for now, here's a couple of stills showing the newly cleared areas.

There sure are a lot of new wood piles. Conditions are pretty good, so I'll fire off the burn pile and keep it stoked for a few hours this morning.

Hang in there, gang, Friday's comin'!

47F and cloudy @ 11:15, heading up to a high of 55F with a 10% chance of rain today, 20% chance tonight. High tomorrow will only be 44F ... chilly through this coming Tuesday, then calling for a bit of a warm up.

Woman reports a bluebird sighting at the suet feeder outside the kitchen window a bit ago. Will need to get the mealworm feeders put back out.

Crocus making an appearance the other day:

Need to get that bed cleaned out.

Parts for Kubota came in yesterday, so we ran out and picked them up. May get back up to the shed later this afternoon for some more work on that. Will probably be mostly clean up. Looks like they had some inventory, not as full as usual though:

Battery in the van was flat again, need to hook charger up on that ... probably get it charged up enough to run it down to AutoZone and get a new battery for it.

Also have appointment later this afternoon have to run out for.

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

65°F and 2.39 inches rain

Slept in an extra 30 minutes and am foregoing my usual tread climber and bike routine.

Not sure what I’ll attempt this morning before heading off for haircut, then off to Hilo town.

Change of plans. Just got a call from neighbor her power is down again. Need a coffee first.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

The weather people are still talking about snow/ice pellets overnight, they are suggesting 10 cm/4" and then above freezing tomorrow. Didn't get anything today so far.

I missed my mid afternoon nap, was more interested in old British WW2 movies.

Tomorrow is a town run and MAYBE go and buy a zero turn mower.

Look at the Kubota Z231 zero turn. I love mine and they are quality and great value compared to other brands. Took my advice from a friend who has owned a few.

Drew, think you may hold the record for number of cars, trucks, tractors, RVs bought and sold since you’ve been on GM.
