Afternoon DTR.

Rick, sorry to hear about your friend. My condolences to you and to his family!

How's everyone today? Didn't make it in here yesterday, spent part of the day fixing the truck and doing a few odds and ends to it. Hit some kind of large bird the other night coming home from KY. Had to be turkey, wish I was able to stop and look at it but it was pouring rain when I hit it. Took out the driverside head light and turn signal. Luckily I had an extra of each, only thing I was missing were a couple clips that hold the headlight to the headlight bucket. Also had to get the leaves and pine needles out of the blower motor, they were starting to get a little annoying.

Started my Christmas shopping today and finished it too, it's nice only to have to buy for a couple people that are easy to find things for. Nice day here, sunny and in the 50's. Decided to wash the truck this afternoon and clean it out after my trip the other day.

You got my gift already? Cool! Thanks buddy!

Spent the day rearranging about 600 yards of wood chips. That was fun. Tomorrow I get to do leaves. Even more funner.

A mop... yay. You DO know that home appliances such as irons, toasters and blenders aren't something to give to the wife for Christmas, birthdays and/or anniversaries. Right? That book may come in handy tho. After I read it I'll give it to your wife!

I've seen Dad make that mistake in the past, the look on my moms face was priceless. He never bought her another appliance or anything like that for Christmas again. I wouldn't dare get the wife something like that. She'd probably kick my Pelosi. I got her some nice jewlery this year and I might get her something else if funds allow.

Morning DTR
