I have scars up to my elbows from working on tanks, trucks and cars for 30+ years.

It sounds like you might have a keeper there Jacob!!

I forgot to empty my wash buck the last time I wash the vehicles. It has been sitting in the shade of the house and the water was still frozen solid yesterday afternoon. It was 17 degrees when I left the house to head to Ft Benning this morning. High today is only suppose to hit 37, Chance of wintery mix on Wednesday and 20% chance of snow on friday night. COME ON SPRING!!!

Yeah, I know kids cost a lot of money but of course they are worth it. But if Uncle Sam is nice to you maybe It won't be so bad when a lil Axel comes down the pipes.

Uncle Sam is good but nothing exciting. I always get a pretty good return after I come back from a deployment, part of the perks. I am ready for my return so I can get some parts for the 79 and get it back on the road again, and spring too so I don't freeze to death trying to work on it.

I got the 3rd and final injection in my knees today to help with the arthritis and constant pain. It gives some relief but is not a total fix. I can only get them every 6 months.

Hugh I hope you are healing well from the scope.

It gets tougher as we get older with the aches and pains. When I got out of our installation department,I told them that I figured out that I didn't bounce as high, or heal as fast as I used to. Good luck to the both of you.
