Morning, Neil.
Breakfast over. Off to troubleshoot no brakes on the trailer. Controller display says "not connected"
Have to hurry so I can take a nap for Pat, before lunch.
Hopefully it is an easy fix.

Well the wife was out of commission due to a migraine headache so I was able to pretty much do what I wanted.

I can understand, plus the weather sucked yesterday. It finally made it to 50 late in the afternoon but there was a stiff wind blowing from the northwest that made it feel like it was in the low 40's

We had winds all down I 81 yesterday. Blowing the truck around. Saw one semi behind me start to lean a little during one gust. The Forrest Service was doing a control burn near Harrisonburg, VA. They must have had fun with the wind.

Same here, it was windy as hell yesterday. Chilly early in the day, but the winds died down around 4, and it warmed up.

Why would they do a "control burn" in windy weather???? Ahhh, they are a government agency.
