Sounds like a plan, hope you were able to get it home. Being stranded sucks, I've been pretty lucky in that department. My old 79 did that to me a few, actually several times.

Called my son who is 6'2 and 260 lbs and he pushed it by hand fast enough to pop the clutch and get her going.

Hope everybody is enjoying the beautiful day we have outside today. Just got home from a Craigslist deal gone bad. I'm wanting to try out a Sodastream pretty bad, but don't want to drop nearly $100 for the bottom line set up, just in case I don't like the thing.
My son Tim went with me to Knightdale to be told that they can't find it
back home, eating some Chili and a chili dog, gonna pop a top or few and see what the rest of the day holds in store for us.

Y'all behave

Unk Bob

Hope everybody had a safe weekend.
We did another transport yesterday of a Shepherd. He's a sweet boy but a little over weight tipping the scales at 120 pounds, he 5 pounds heavier than my skinny 19 year old son Tim. But now he'll go on a special diet, get some much needed exorcise to help get that weight off of him.
So today I get to vacuum the truck again (I hate a dirty truck) and get groceries, fun, fun, fun.
Hope you have a safe work week.

Unk Bob

Bummer but glad you had some back up to get it home.
*Note to self: do not mess with Tony's pro linebacker sized son.

Good on ya Bob. 120lbs. That's a big puppy.



Hope you folks have a nice week. It was snowing here at lunch today for about an hour then turned to a slow drizzle. Wonderful weather we are having.

Good morning everybody!
Nothing exciting here, as usual, wife is working from home today, and possibly the rest of the week due to the winter weather that is supposed to be heading this way.
Hope your morning drives have been safe, and that you make it home with no problems.

Unk Bob

Whaddupp Y'all!!!

Watching the weather this morning, I guess we'll see what this winter storm brings to us. So far it sounds like a pretty good one with 2-6"s of snow, and 1/4 to 1/2" of ice...
I'm missing my generator, and wood burning fireplace about now.

Y'all be careful if your out in that mess.

Unk Bob

I thought I'd throw this out there for those of you that are working in the Durham, Raleigh, RTP area, and may not make it home due to the distance, and what the weather may do to us today. We have an extra "Guest" bedroom here and you'd be welcome to it.
PM me and I will reply with my cell number, and address. I'll check on here throughout the day.
Y'all be safe

Unk Bob
