I've been through about 6 already. All, back in the same area we're moving back too.

I've been through 1 when I still lived with my parents I was probably 15-16, it started as a water spout. Came off the river about a half mile from my parents house, followed the little branch that comes up behind their house. Then about 300 yards from the house it took a hook right and went across the hay field. Definitely a experience I won't ever forget, it was just a little thing but still had the house shaking bad.

I have officially deactivated my Facebook account this evening. Too much family stuff going on.
I mentioned to everybody at the table last night at our monthly dinner, that I'd like y'all to sign Ka'Bluey's dash for me, just like everybody that was able to back home did.
Then this dash will hang on the garage wall along with the personalized license plate that is on the way here from the license office.
So at a local dinner get together I'll drive him there, and I'll bring a black permanent marker, and y'all can have at it. Unless I think I can get him to the "Spring Fling" and then have a signing party.

We are gonna really miss you Unk Bob. It's always a hoot when you're around. We know you have to do what's best for your family and that's what matters. After you're gone everything at the flings will be "Bobs fault" and any questions will be "what would Bob do?"...lol.

I'm just trying to get this foot/ankle straightened out. It's now been 3 or 4 weeks and this crap is getting old. It's been feeling a little better the last couple of days but still very sore and hard to walk on. Anyone ever had an injection in the arch of their foot? OUCH!!! Probably left a stripe or two in the underwear.

Be Good Folks!

Thanks Marty, I do appreciate that.
And acting on "What would Bob do?" could get you all, kicked out of campgrounds forever.

Dern Marty. Hope you foot gets better. That shot sounds painful.

Would be honored to sign the dash Bob. We'll steer dinner next month to Apex so we can have access to the beast.

Looks like it's time for a new fuel/water filter, and drain the water out of the housing.

What's up everybody
I have no idea what in store around here today. But at least it isn't raining outside, and we may see the sun too.
I do need to find a good drive through car was that can do a good cleaning underneath the truck, and Shari's Escape, and get that brine off of everything.
They need a good wash anyways.

I did hit the car wash this morning and did the truck and Shari's Escape outside and underneath.
But d@mn that wind was cool this morning outside playing with water!
Shari packed a couple of her display cases that I avoid to even touch.
Hope y'all have had a good weekend so far!

Unk Bob
