Cast iron is the way to go with a tub.

Good morning WA and friends. Bathtubs are good for young kids, but I hated sitting in dirty water!

Hi there!

I'm already tired of having to scrape the windows every morning and night time!

Currently 73 here in Villa Maria, we've had rain and thunder storms earlier so the crew left at 1:00 and we don't know what's happening for night shift yet. some sort of holiday here for the beginning of Christmas here.

Farm country, lot of dairy cattle here. There's a couple of dairy's including cheese and butter in town. Out west of here is grain country, lot of really big processing plants there.

It's the original tub from when the house was built in the 70s.

Just add a water jacker heater. They do wonders for frosty windows.

Returning to Washington this coming week from Puerto Rico, almost scared of the weather.

Averaging 85°+ and 75% or more Humidity. Weather Channel app says 27-50° for Kent.

Welp some ding dong borrowed one of my trucks batteries! I wonder when they plan on returning it? Yeah right!

I guess it's now time to go buy 2 batteries.

Went through that with the wife's car a couple of years ago, but they traded batteries and put their old one in place of her brand new one. Pain the keester.

They stole batteries. Really sucks to have happened.

I've been using Interstate from Costco, a bit less expensive and a 42 month warranty last I checked. Hopefully they have your size.

Is WA still a concealed carry state?? Isn't theft (like horse-thievery) a good reason for self-protection?

OH--- morning WA....theft is one of the worse crimes there is.

Washington is a Concealed Carry state, you just have to apply and renew every five years.

1 more week and I'm on vacation!!!

Yeah I got my Washington concealed carry and gonna do the Oregon. Because I have a concealed for an adjoining county in Washington, Clatsop county will let me do the Oregon and having a pistol qualification from the Navy no training course required.

Still need to renew my Texas NR.

If congress passes the mandatory reciprocal agreement then I can save significant money, only need one then.
