Trying to get a spare minute lately has been a problem...

Here we go. Spent last Monday down Fontana way. Met Bobby Williams at Sunrise Ford. He made me a deal on a '13 so good there, that I never thought twice about buying a rig 350 miles from home. Also got a chance to have lunch with Steve & Gail before we headed home to Tracy.

I'll bet they would have moved fast if something had made a cracking sound. Being the a-hole that I am, I probably would have smacked a branch against something while a guy was in there.

Pop, the 228 is up and running. I had it burnin' during the weekend showers with nary a hiccup. It flickered for the first few minutes, but then settled into a steady groove for the next 20. I'm headed south to SD for Christmas, PM me for a rendezvous.


Nice rig Gail!

Woke up this morning to a leaking water heater. I had a hot shower, not sure if the wife will tho.

One more thing. Is the world suppose to end at the stroke of midnight tonight? Does it happen all at once, or by time zone? Anybody? Just trying to plan my day.

I guess I was a little misleading in my query.
Technically the 21st is already here in the Far East/Australia. Just thought us here on the West coast could be cheated out of our Thursday.

Same here in our part of the Valley.

A rare day for me, I have all three barrels out today. I don't put one out unless things are getting full-ish.

I have a neighbor that puts them out with just three or four inches of grass clippings, and I consider that a waste of the driver's time and effort.

Dunno..... just me......
