Good morning!!!!

[ronjhall]

ok, I've done my civic duty and that will be all.

sun is finally coming up, things to do.

am sadly lacking in tractor pics.
when the farms are so gigantic as they are here, the machinery isn't stored near the road. I think it has been so dry everywhere would normally be a lot greener here.

driving through the West and seeing more water storage units than I thought possible the value and control of water rights is a big deal here. Looking at the small stream called the Rio Grande, well, it wasn't so grande anymore.

water is sure a big deal when you don't have enough to go around.

Drew lots of water in the Rio Grande. Just view it at the right place. This is Mission, TX

Good morning, the low is 46 and going to a high of 64°F. Wind SSW 7 mph. 70% chance of showers. It did rain earlier this morning.

No wood going in today.

Junior has a pancho and he says he will ride to town this aft.

I find that a lot of new drivers start out with a 48' trailer and then when they are hooked to a 53 footer they forget about the extra 5' of trailer. Now with the advent of 57 footers it will be another nightmare. Of course the shippers and receivers still make their loading/unloading docks like we all still have 45 footers.
I tell anyone that wants to drive a truck for a living that if they like being crapped on by their boss, by the dispatcher, by the shippers and receivers and not to forget the DoT and the cops then trucking is the job for them. Truck drivers get zero respect on the road or anywhere else. The ONLY reason car drivers stay away from trucks is because they know that they will be on the receiving end of a lot of damage it they get into a tussle with a truck. But they sure don't mind passing a truck and then slowing down in front of it. Or when a truck tries to pass them they speed up, then when the truck pulls back in behind them they slow down again.

M7040, pretty puppie.

I am with Don on this.
If everyone made a separate post regarding a 'like' that would soon jam the server full. It is not our 'fault' that we like minded people seem to get along together. Even though most of us have never met face to face.

This post is long enough,

Have a safe day all

Good Morning!!!! 53F @ 6:30AM. Areas of fog early, then partly cloudy this afternoon. High near 70F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.

Yesterday's backlog of held mail was delivered yesterday, including the pump controller. One thing less to worry about.

Made an appointment with the local RAM dealer to take care of a recall on the van, and have them look at a couple other issues. Couldn't get in until next Thursday, but they do offer a shuttle service.

Got the firewood unloaded from the van and still had enough tarp left to cover it all. And probably enough for another cord. Put the two empty firewood pallets up for sale, and will use the two remaining empties up north to shuttle the rest of the wood.

TGIF gang!

Made a VW a lot shorter (speaking about backing up trucks) by backing into it with the truck. At the freight terminal with rows of large trucks and trailers at the loading dock I was supposed to back the truck into one empty spot and did not see the car parked way up in the slot. Mirrors don't pick it up.

I like the GM thread as it is too. No concerns about post likes.
That hot tub experience will be tough to beat for Drew's amazing America road trip. I'm not sure what or where I would like to show Drew around. Any suggestions? I was thinking bucolic Serbin maybe? But that is after 2ish o'clock. See what Drew wants to do. We are planning supper/dinner tomorrow night.
Y'all's house and backyard looks like royalty.


Drew, drive safe. Your turnoff off of HWY 290 is at the big Texaco gas station sign. RV park behind it. The steakhouse doesn't accept reservations. Should be able to get in within a reasonable time. There is a high school football game tonight. Our team has not had much success this year, so the stands are not full at all. I don't even know if I will go or not. It starts at 7:30pm.
Hopefully I can turn the valve.

Drew sounded interested in the Wendish museum in Serbin. My ancestors were Wendish. The wedding dresses were Black.
Also the county courthouse is interesting.

Is cold out. LIKE that. LOL.

Energy conservation day. Road trips and moving crap at 5AM tomorrow.

GM is fine as is. IMHO. My personal stuff is on FB.

Have a great day.

Slightly overcast and 35F when I got up at 5AM today. I know it's trying but still no rain.

We visited it during one of our stops to Don. Very interesting place.

Good morning! Low of 44°, heading up to 81°. Sunny.

We did see the aurora last evening, briefly for about 5 minutes. Surprisingly, it was as nice as the pics posted on here..... The son had rushed over to tell us and we only caught the last minute. Then it was just a 'glow'.

RIP, sorry about your cat. Always hard to say goodbye.

Drew, the adventures continue....

Not sure what I will get into today.... so many choices....

Everyone have a great day!
