    I leaned to make the list, then prioritize the list, then par it down to the top three. Makes it easier to work through it. Top components of a project, realistic, measurable, obtainable. You are much better with your projects than I had ever been.

    SMART goals are what they call them in business world. Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-Bound.

    Oh, if I'm going to have a truck and a car, I'll have a truck and a car, not in between. Another accent or a yaris, even a corolla, are cars I'd gladly take.

    That's alright if you need the power. If I get another truck I'll be trying to downgrade power wise. I bought more truck than I need because pickings were pretty slim.

    This is why I got the 2500 in the first place.

    in Minnesota, tandem towing is legal but the front trailer must be a 5th wheel trailer.

    In 2020, someone decided they liked all my fishing gear better than I did. Took the wind out of my sails big time for owning a boat. With Covid, the conditions were ripe that I sold the boat for a small profit even after owning it for two years.

    we traded the big 5’er off on a 1/2T towable towhauler. Dealer is the same for both campers and the boat so some sweet deals were made.

    The 2023 with the 5.0 Flexfuel, 157” wheelbase and 3.73 gears tows this much nicer than the 2020 3.5 Ecoboost 145” wheelbase ans 3.55 gears ever did.

    Well, that definitely needs a capable truck. That sucks about your gear.


    And on that note......
    I just had a call from my neighbors boyfriend. He ALMOST caught them red handed. He informed me a group of kids smashed out the windows in the back of my garage....

    that's terrible. When I think of all the effort and planning put into that building, it is so sad.

    Had a chance to help some good friends out yesterday and again today. The help lands me good hardwood. :headbang:So I borrowed my brother’s dump trailer. 2F8E6417-9FE5-4F2C-ACB4-28157B87EA62.jpeg

    Yesterday morning the scales said 208.2, this morning it was 206.4 on the 50th day. Tomorrow morning is it and then some nice thick steaks with pasta for supper on Sunday.

    That sucks, hope you find out who the kids are and have a talk with their parents. Time to set up some outside cameras. They are unbelievably cheap, but also beneficial to find out who is taking advantage of your property.

    On a walk last eve I thought this critter was trying to dig a hole to lay her eggs. I waited about 5 minutes and there was no digging action going on. So I picked HIM up by the tail and carried him to the other side which is a marshy area. He didn’t like being carried one bit but I didn’t want him to get smucked. About 14-15 inches shell width side to side.

    I would not say he’s old, but he sure isn’t young. Nice job.

    It has rained every day here for the past week, including today. But now the sun is out and it is forecasted to be out again tomorrow. Oh, happy days! I was able to sit outside with Riley and enjoy the fresh air. I enjoy listening to and watching the birds. They are really busy feeding their young. This damp weather isn't good for the brown-tail moth's caterpillar stage so that is a good thing. They are very toxic to come in contact with.

    Not a clue, and probably a lost cause trying to find out. Cameras were the first thought that came to mind, actually thought about them before now. The garage would need battery ones for sure.

    It kind of sucks, but I was shortly replacing them anyway, hopefully I'm not so unlucky it happens again anytime soon. I've had windows broken in it before, either from weather damage or having to jack up the building. So far I've just been using old scrounged up panes of glass, not nearly as break resistant as modern windows. That's all I'm using for the replacements, it'd be garbage if I didn't. so I'll use it and if any more break I'll replace with plexiglass.
