Good morning everyone. Spent a little time at the lake yesterday afternoon and am hoping to do the same today. My 17-year-old Lincoln is handling the boat like a boss.

Anyone want a rooster? There's one on my front porch that doesn't seem to have anywhere better to be. And apparently Wolcott doesn't have an animal control officer.

Morning all, hope everyone had a good weekend.
Good camping for us.
I had one negative the left front caliper froze on the F250. wheel and tire got pretty hot. Called Monaco Ford and found it's covered under the bumper to bumper warranty. They will have it wed. Will see if I did other damage. I took the truck to a car wash and power washed the wheel. Thinking that there may have been a build up of brake dust, a lot of steam. I'll wait and see.

That's no good! Glad to hear they're taking care of it under warranty. Unfortunately sticky calipers don't seem to be an uncommon thing lately.

X2.

My wife has a half-dozen hens that are easy enough to deal with. But a rooster is relatively useless unless you're trying to breed. Soup may be the only thing he's good for though, after a few months of age they toughen right up!

Morning all.

Hot today and hotter tomorrow.

Notation we had a Rooster on the farm and it was one mean little critter, but not as mean as the Geese. Weasel got the rooster and the goose got the weasel.
