    Well folks, for better or worse, I'm back. We had a good time with our GTG. Sad that some folks could not come. We even had a couple last-minute cancellations when some of their family came down with covid. Such a shame. But still a great group. I think the final count was 43 for the weekend. Certainly smaller than last year but very nice indeed.

    Coincidentally, I have an ophthalmologist appointment this morning that was scheduled months ago. I had burning and tearing a few weeks ago and called the office. They told me to use allergy drops and artificial tear drops. I use Allaway and Systane and it has helped a lot. Hope you can get some relief.

    I've seen your SN on the HDRam forum. I've seen plenty about those crappy tires, ill look forward to replacing them!

    I have a company fuel card, so the fuel cost isn't a concern for me. I ordered with 4:10s as well

    TrinitySouth99 Love the colour of the garage. Midwinter is right. The rock really looks like Newfoundland. That is the kind of day we are having too. Grey and raining. In the sixth picture there is a red buoy in the sea. Is that a crab or prawn trap marker?

    yeah, it wouldn't be a heart breaker for me if it runs longer. I'm going to be short handed in management at work in August.

    Bronco will be the backup plow truck this coming winter.

    I don't know how you did it, but you did! Not easy this time of year. Lots of work also, but I am sure you got to see a lot of friends. Hope you have a chance to get some rest now.

    I hope you do too. I can only use 3 things now, nothing else. Preservative free lubricating drops ($$), Muro 128 at night ($$) and restasis ($$). Twice a day I have to warm compress for 10 minutes then massage whats left of my oil glands in eyelids. What a pita, but eyesight is too important. I just can't imagine spending like an hour a day on my eyes for the rest of my life. (shrug shoulders).

    I'll try! I don't recall ever having this much moisture in April/May which is a welcome surprise, but darn, it's delayed the business schedule badly. It pushes out every other job scheduled for the rest of the year:confused:

    And we need moisture here. The opposite of the last few years.

    It's coming. It starting dumping rain here in this side of the pond about 5pm.

    It's been raining since, supposed to get around an inch of rain. We needed it too.
