If you didn't need so much coddling an admin wouldn't be needed so often.

It's hard for me to believe that someone who works in the rain as much as you do truly doesn't like it. Oh wait, I forgot, you've got a saw garage to work in.

Greetings from UP HERE EH
Leaving work in 20 min and heading over to moms place to watch the Grey Cup.

Have a good one and enjoy.

Cooled off here and last night when I left work [2:30a.m. and why am I back here again?] the ice fog rolled in and dropped the visibility to near zero.

No Speedo weather here for a few months. Can't imagine ShiverinBobInHisSpeedosUPHERE

It is all relative. Up there they may be overrated, but where I am, I live in shorts, about 360 days a year. Even this morning, working shirtless in my garden, I was wearing shorts.

Hit the mid 60s early this after noon and the temperature has been dropping with the rain ever since.
Glad a got a load of wood hauled yesterday. As wet as its been, any rain will make things sloppy again.

Baked country ribs are almost done. Siding that with fried potatoes, onions, okra seasoned with a bit of red pepper flakes and paprika.

Its funny that I actually know what you are talking about.



Afternoon Sir.


How is everyone. Having a nice Sunday afternoon at home, surfing DTR and cooking. They said a liquid diet, well a heavy liquid diet, so Ive got a pot of white beans bubbling on the stove that Im gonna turn in to liquified bean soup. At least itll taste good...


I really miss my Copenhagen.

But I guess its for the better

Your batteries are covered under your basic warranty.


Making a complete life style change like you are doing is NOT easy. Keep the faith and stay the coarse. Your hard work and efforts will be rewarded in the end.

42xxx on my truck, basic warranty is out. 100 dollar deductible if they would cover them under the extended warranty, and would only replace one. I believe in replacing both at the same time.

225 bucks for two Duralast Golds. (Wanted Optimas but I didnt want to drop 400 bucks on batteries.)

No grass growing under your tires is there?

The Duralast gold is an excellent battery.
