Congratulations on the anniversary and the trip, I know that was a hard one to come back from....

 

Yes it was. We were two tired and weary but also relaxed and refreshed travelers.

Tired, because we left Honolulu Saturday evening at 4:30 and flew nonstop to Atlanta landing at 7:00 Sunday morning, making it a red eye flight in the truest sense. (six time zones) We then flew to New Orleans and made the two hour drive home. Weary, because we vacationed full time while we were there. Relaxed, because we left the "drama" at home and never once mentioned any situation that would distract us from the beauty and enjoyment of the trip, and Refreshed, because even though we never discussed any situations, a clear mind has a way of looking ahead with a clearer vision.

I highly recommend the Norwegian Cruise Line 7 day "Pride of America" inter-island tour package. We rented a car twice and took bus tours twice giving us the best of two worlds. We had freedom with the cars, but still took advantage of the tour guide's information and knowledge with the tours.

 

Good Morning and Happy Hump Day!!!

I've been busy (at Terri's direction) this week trying to turn our back patio into the backdrop behind Lynn & his wife...

Still have a ways to go...

Congrats Lynn.

Have a great weekend everybody.

 

Got stopped in a road block Wednesday evening for a license check. Got complimented by 2 of the Florence officers on what a nice truck I had. I believe that's a first for me.

 

Good Morning!!!! Spring might actually be here today!! Supposed to hit....the 60's!!!! lol and it only took til the end of April!!!

We received a settlement on the car from State Farm.
They paid $9,600 and I took a $783 buyback for it.
The car had 55,192 miles on it.
As I have a '07 that is the same model and everything is interchangeable the buyback is a good investment.
Heck the wheels are the same style so the 4 wheels and tires are worth more than half of the buyback alone.
I finally got the adjuster out to the house on Wednesday at noon to look at the car.
They made us the settlement offer Thursday at 9am.
They were at the door with the check Friday (yesterday) at 9am.
Nada said the car was worth $9,125. They added the tax and title fee.

 

State Farm has always made good payouts on totals....

 

Morning Mississippi. We are going to buy a Zero Turn today. We will stop by and pick up "HOUSE PAINT" !!! . Hope your day is better than mine.

 

Steve you know people do that for a living ?? so we can do what we realey have to do -like work on our trucks .... or shop for parts !!!

 

That we do bud. Didnt get the mower, but we got the "PAINT"

 

I'd like to have a zero turn. I just don't think it would work out with all the stump holes, ditches, roots, stobs, rocks, plants, trees, bushes, junk-piles, woodpiles and a few other obstacles that I don't think about till it hangs up on it. As it is, the little John Deere lawn tractor gets most of its workout doing leaf/pinestraw duty. Sucking it up, mulching & bagging. (Regular old mowing ain't so bad.)

Which is what I've been doing whenever the yard dries out for a day or two lately.

 

Good Afternoon!!! Another Week at the Grindstone
