Nightwatchman popping in to let you all know I am still breathing, barely, and keeping an eye on DTR...its just been rather dull at night..
Hope everyone had a GREAT holiday, and no-one received any coal!
Been keeping busy working on the new place, TreeDr and his brother came out and trimmed a tree back for me a few weeks ago, was good to see them, and BTW, I highly recommend them if anyone needs any type of tree-work done.

Working two full-time jobs at the moment saving up for some springtime projects, not leaving me much time for the BOSS, the horses or anythign else....

Yall stay safe, remember to NOT get behind the wheel if you imbibe this New Years, get a designated driver!!

Hey mom, SH, and scott. Short timers ATTITUDE is in effect. 33 and a wake up. I'm so short I have to use a parachute to jump off a dime. Can you say FIGMO?
It's amazing how much stuff you accumulate after being in one place for 30+ years. I'm ready. The attitudes of todays youngsters ain't nothing like we had. Instead of US Army, US Navy, US Marines, where the US was us, it's now a ME. At least I haven't fragged anyone, YET.
Nice scooter ride the other morning. 14 degrees. The new snowmobile suit works great. 20W-50 doesn't flow well at that temp. Even with fuel injection, it's still a Harley. After coughing up a half dozed hairballs, the 1200 smoothed out real well. No rain in the forecast for the next week. Good riding weather. Right at 7500 miles since July.
Better git while there's a bit of daylight left.
Hollar later.

Shortround out
