Don't usually get to post to the monday edition.
Took the Ranger up to Crown King yesterday (30 miles of knarly, non-maintained road). Came across some unfotunate people with two flats on one truck(8+ total people and 4 trucks). They were very well on their way to drunksville. Long story short I tried to go around one of the "gentleman" as he was reminding me what an |$%^&*| as well as a |%$(*&89| I was. My Ranger got top heavy and tipped into his Excursion. Not before crushing my left foot because I thought I was Scotty and could stop 1100# falling objects.
So anyway, no sleep last nite and I have a doctors appt at 10:40 to take X-Rays.

Monday morning, and I am in Portland OR, with daughter and grandaughter. She is 3, so I can teach her things he he he
Looks like it will be a nice day, when i bail her out of day care prolly go to the zoo or the park or some other fun things.
Local paper sez gas prices down, and diesle price up about 2 cents.
Did get some of the stuff out of storage, and rearanged the cargo trailer, as another daughter has a house in Texas. So be leaving in Nov to take it to her. Then later go back to Germany.
Being retired, and have a lot of stuff to get caught up.
Scotty, good to hear you are on the mend.
Tfore, keep outta trouble in them wild places. Hope you gonna be OK

No single engine Private planes allowed (common peasants),,,,,just multi-engine jets allowed.
($$$$ talks, everyone else takes commercial flights).

Fresh pot on,

Been off work since last Thursday after dislocating a vertabrae trying to pretend I was Scotty and pick up a rather large (2X3X3 Foot) rock out of the yard.
Going back to the Doc this morning to see if I can go back to work yet.
It has let me spend some time with the BOSS, so there is an upside..
Good Mornging America ran a story on Bio-Deisel this morning, angled at its use as home heating oil. Showed an appleseed processor and how they "brewed". Was interesting.....
Well I am off to see the spine-cracker, y'all have a good'un and keep the hot..

Well the foot aint broken. That's good because a orthapedic(sp) is hard to come by on short notice. That would have been cause to re-brake what aint broken...
Sorry, the percacet makes both the foot and the mind numb....
Crutches make it easier to get around but the bruises under my arms make me wonder which is worse. Oh well, hopefully back at it hard Wednesday. Looks like another good day surfin'
