Morning everyone

Ray and Josiah sorry to hear about the dogs. It's a high price we pay to our loyal buddies.

On Sunday put the top down on the Jeep and went the Lenny and Joe's for a last diner out. It got up to 90 degrees on the way down. A lot of Jeeps to wave to with tops down.

Good morning everyone.

Spent yesterday helping a friend move some stuff into a storage unit, which gave me a great chance to try out my new trailer brakes.


Took awhile for them to break in, but now they will lock the wheels at 4.5v empty. Pretty happy with that.

Morning everyone.

It's misting out there and I know that we need rain. Misting needs to get heavier. Tomorrow New Hampshire, wife has arbitration meeting. On the coast, that sounds like a nice ride.

Good morning everyone.

That sounds like a good ride John, I hope I get to travel around as much when I retire.

I have the time to enjoy the ride, but there is the flip side that I'm not as young as I think I am. So there is more frequent pit stops and memory loss. I'm not complaining, it is all an adventure.

Morning everyone.

Up nice and early this morning and the birds are in the trees making a racket.

Son is taking care of the dogs today at the house and Kathy and I are off.

I had an upright piano that we have been taking apart little by little in the cellar. So it was raining and I got it down to the harp and back board. Could not get it ti separate. Son came over with power tools and removed screws and bolts and it still wouldn't budge. So we took a sledge hammer to it. Now all that is left is picking up the pieces and and cutting the backboard up.
