    I slept till 7:30. Now I can't seem to get motivated. Going to pick up a new mattress later. Wife is pretty happy our current mattress is like sleeping on a sheet of plywood. 65* here today. Rain tomorrow so I should have time to get caught up here. Seems the traffic really picked up this past work week. Have a good day hoarders.

    Finally getting some rain but so far it is only at night which makes me happy. campinspecter took me out for dinner last night and it just poured while we were in the restaurant. It let up thankfully when we went for the car as we didn't wear jackets. The ground around here is just soaking it in.

    FCA is one of the big 3. Fiat Chrysler automobiles. The other 2 are gm and ford.

    FCA says the roxor ripped off the iconic Jeep styling. There's major flaws in that argument though. 1, Mahindra had made actual Jeeps for a long time, and 2, the Willy's Jeep was around before Jeep was around.

    There's a lot to this.. Here's some reading

    I have ties, and suits but I hate wearing ties. I've found that I can accomplish 99.9% of goals with a sport jacket, button up shirt and khakis.

    Lots on the plate today. Meeting a buddy at his house to buy aquarium rocks at 11. Before that I have plenty to do, I also need to get the ariens garden tractor around to the front/ driveway so I can determine if it's got compression. Surely I'll need to charge the battery to do that, and the tractor is so heavy that I'll need to get the Kawasaki ATV to pull it around to the front. The ATV is about 25 minutes drive away. Oh yeah, need to figure out the lighting / wiring on the truck to get the trailer lights working got get the ATV.


    I tried plugging it in last time and the lights didn't work. Grr

    wildwest for what it's worth, i vote grey.

    But I have an extremely limited sense of style.
    :whistle:

    I think I have 3 ties, and 2 of them have wolves on them. Not sure where they are though, it's been ages since I've worn one.

    Sport coats /suits / ties- if I had to wear any of them I would have to likely have them cleaned first , they have gathered a considerable amount of dust since I put them away some 25+ years ago. I have one full suit- it has been worn once. For a wedding 28 years ago.

    I still have some too but most are packed away. My standard now is bluejeans and buffalo plaid shirt or camo. I am much more comfortable too.

    First fire of the year in the fire pit. Mostly to try and burn off all the really wet splitter trash I tossed in it over the winter, and to dry it out.
