Good evening. Mason is having his first sleepover at our house tonight. Luckily it's just his friend from across the street, so easy to send him home if things get out of hand.

I do do quite a bit of driving. I guess that's what I get for being a delivery driver and living about 70 miles from family.

I used to log in 45,000 kilometers a year just driving to and from work, now that I'm retired I spend next to nothing compared what I used to on gas..

Is it spring yet? I can't tell...

Movie time! Time for some chips and dip! Maybe a beer or two.

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Just getting home. We logged a few miles today as well.

The good news is that Seabiscuit IV followed us home, finally. I don't think I should post my opinion about the repair shop here on an open net. I can only console myself with the fact that we were out of the area and the break down was a catastrophic bearing failure on the back axle of the trailer that didn't leave us with the option of getting it home. If there was a good side to the story it is that the shop did give us a military discount. It's going to be a story best told over a cold beverage at the G2G.

Going to take it to Devils Lake tomorrow and play around a bit and do some fishing. After that I'm going to have to see what it is going to take to get brakes rebuilt on the front axle and clean the copious amount of grease off of the wheel from the bearing blow out.

Hoping the worst is over and this is the beginning of the better times. It has been a very long Spring this year.

Good morning everyone. All the boys were up before 6:30am and Jackie just left for work. There are some ominous looking clouds headed this way. Yesterday was a mix of bright sun, pouring rain, wind gusts, and hail.

Belated good morning Ford Fans.
We have scattered spots of blue sky, only .16 inches of rain so far today.
