Morning on this warm December morning. All the snow has melted in the yard.

Well I'm all set for Christmas, my wife informed me that I bought her a purse. I find it easier to let her pick the gift than my bad judgement.

Today I'm headed to the car wash. My son showed me a deal that he went for and I'm going to do it. It's around $30 a month, and you can go as many times as you wish and they do a good job on the under carriage. With all the bells and whistle wax and coating. So if you just go once a week your paying about $7.50 a wash and wax. With the driving I do and were I drive, I tend to go twice a week during the winter. Good to save money that I would spend anyway.

Dry hardwood is such a blessing!
I had my tires rotated today and there was a 2013
F 250 in the next bay.
I could not believe the rust on the drive shaft and other
components! Even the bed rails had rust. Mech. told me
the truck has 4000 mi. WTF!
