Thanks for the great pics Joel!!
I wish my lawn looked like that but it's slowly coming back since the recent rain. Daytona Beach is great! That's our sidetrip on every Disney World trip. Hoping to take the truck next trip.
Savage it sounds like the truck is doing great!
Glad the trip is going well.

I goofed off in my truck today but that's about it.
Several high RPM take offs to blow the cob webs out after a week in Alaska (without my truck) but it was worth it.
Awesome state and can't wait to go back in the future.
Coldest summer on record and it rained most of the time but oh well.
Never been 15 feet from a momma grizzy with her two cubs.
(They were slacking and she was calling them in this photo).
Came home to a storm ravaged yard so gotta get that cleaned up now.
IDK what kind of winds we had to snap one of my oaks in half which fell on another oak damaging that and to top it off is all on my neighbors 8 foot tall fence and some of it suspended 20 feet in the air.

Well,,y'all been having a good time, have fun out west. Anyone around Daytona come find me. I'll be at the port orange KOA or the Sunglow pier on the beach. If I'm not in either of those places I'm eating or sleeping.
And golf? You could replace the word fishing in any golf sentence and have the same effect. So sailor, chase around fish, make yourself mad, yada yada. It's a frustrating game if you don't approach it the right way. Helps if you have some ability. It's a lot more fun when you wear out the ***** rather than lose them. After about 4 rounds they're no good anymore....I don't play much anymore but did enjoy a single digit handicap for a while.
Got my new nittos yesterday, pics coming......

I am not a golfer...... But I did not intend to belittle it, or be negative toward the game.

Tire Question....
New Tires! Nitto and they look good, kinda noisy but I expected that.
Ok, I'm done with pics for a while. Time for ice cream.
On edit, I have no idea why some of them turned sideways. Gah.[/QUOTE]
In time...... Could you watch the fuel mileage... Is it different with the new tires???
Thanks
Roy

I'm not sure where you are but we've had some really bad / strange storms around here lately. Lots of high winds and plenty of snapped trees, power outages, debris everywhere, etc. Probably some of the worst summer storms I can remember.

Hey man, don't take me too seriously either. No apology necessary! My son and I for some reason both enjoy individual sports over team sports. Just the way it is, a personality disorder I'm sure.

Yep, I have my quirks. The front yard is just over 1/4 acre so it's not too bad. My snapper mower goes by itself so I just walk behind it.
I'm very picky about some things. I will only use a snapper mower and will never use my tractor in the front yard. I sharpen the blade until it would pass for a decent pocket knife. I never cut the same stripe pattern twice in a row. Did a herring bone pattern today. It's emerald zoysia grass.
The back yard is not as nice, weedy Bermuda and its almost an acre so I use the Deere. I sharpen the blades on it too though, sharp enough to slice a bit of skin off my thumb and they pass my inspection.
But I'm not so picky about other stuff, just certain things get me going.
I feel for y'all in the mid west/south. Mi worked in mount Vernon this past Monday, saw all the brown yards. That's usually what it's like here in SC in August.

Great Pics Joel and Kper....
Well we hauled that huge 14' boat

Only caught one, and the wife got it....she's not letting me hear the end of it either....
Savage, glad to hear the trucks back to normal
And a Good Afternoon to the rest of ya'll
