It's pretty good. I really like it.

Funny, we've had record rainfall (almost) for a year, it's only March. We had some light hail today, I tried to get a pic, don't know if it turned out yet, I have not taken them off the computer.

Man, it's cold here! Must be... I don't know, 45*? hahahaha

They coffee kinda looks like tar in here so far this week that's why you're having a bit of trouble finding it. I don't think anyone's put on a pot of Phoo for Youu.

I did notice -- - interesting. Strange sounds in the night, furniture moved, glow in the hall, scratching in the attic. Hmmmm????

Good to see someone up and at it. Gorgeous outside, so here I go - - getting started on cutback of damaged plants. OUCH - - sure wish I could get the lawn guy to do this, but not part of his contract. Oh well, it will get done the way I want it. Fussy old goat.

I'm gone - - come find me it you don't hear from me - - I will be buried in the bushes somewhere.

Because I am brilliant, I managed to be in Quartzite, AZ in late Jan for all of the rain. Wife and I also drove all the way to the K-mart in Blythe on Jan 21st just in time for the tornado to kill the power as we entered the store. A heavy metal cover for their roof AC landed about 20ft from our truck. Driving back, we gotta see the flipped semi truck and torn down power poles. Normally we like the weather there!

Evening DTR's finest.

Perfect weather today, got some stuff done outside that I've been putting off for a while. Guess it's suppose to be in the 50's all week but it's gonna rain most of the time.

Did and oil change and service to the truck today. Got 170k on the odometer now, I'll probably have 200k on it by the end of this year.

Gonna watch 24 tonight and relax.

How is everyone today?

That's crappy... I just missed that... we got here on the 28th... are you down often? I'm less than an hour from QS, I live in the foothills.

Sounds like a sweet day... I did that last weekend on everyone's trucks.

Afternoon, DTR. Evening shift is on the clock, gotta long way to go tonight. Had a good day today, went to harbor freight and blew another hundred bucks, then took the wife and one of her friends to Olive Garden, then we went to target and blew 300 bucks on kitchen supplies.We got a lot of Giada de Laurentiis stuff... it ain't cheap. Hope I get some dividends from her show, or just some pictures would be nice

Got done just in time to speed home and put the cammies on and beat it to work. Good times. Gonna go PT tonight, gotta slay myself to get that beach bod back.

Wait... no beach in Yuma!

I've been having a really hard time with PT because of my knee, the doc says I've got problems. I hope he has answers.

See ya'll in a bit.

We go to the rock and mineral show in QS every January and we usually go past the Yuma proving grounds a couple of times a year (love to camp out close to there--lots of neat noises and stuff late at night). I will PM you before heading out the next time. I would love to meet your kegarator I mean meet you if you have the time.

If whatever it was leaves little green footsteps that glow in the night its aliens. If it leaves a bad smell in the air it was chaikwa (trying to get even with him for mis-quoting me last week).

Good times... I'm about 20 minutes from YPG... off exit 12 on I8.

I'm hoping to meet some aliens while I'm here.

I look forward to doing the service on my truck. Makes for a nice afternoon, depending on what I am doing to the truck. Today was just oil change and FF. Next time i'll have oil change, ff, and a few other things to do it.

Some of those kitchen supplies are expensive. The ones from Emeril are very pricey too. My stainless pots came from Cabelas and so did my black iron pans. Our stainless pots and pan set came from sears but was a wedding gift, still pricey but not as pricey as emerils or giadas stuff.
