Your trucks look very nice, John. And your grass is looking good!

Looks great, John.

Off topic: Shouldn't you have snow guards on your roof? That will protect the rain gutters. They're even used in Virginia.

Wondering , John, because I saw the dip in the rain gutter.

Did you paint the grass, John. Several people have done that to their brown lawns. Some are even putting down "astro-turf"

Amen to that, I am so fortunate living in Az I had a choice of 2 rust free cabs when I started on BADAZ56!
