Thanks for reminding me, Martini's this afternoon down by the water. Gotta go out to get gas for the grill first and some corn on the cob for company tomorrow.

Then it's elbows up!

Driving down highway approaching intersection, saw dude blow past the stop sign in his little ricer then turned and got in front of me. I had time to slow down but thought I'd show him some F250 in his rearview mirror. Now dude is slowing way down purposely to pull into store down the road. Apparently didn't think I could get around him. Timed it perfect, by the time he looked in his rearview mirror I was along side of him with my exhaust right in his face holding it to the floor. Scared the crap out of the little *****! LOL He stuck his arm out of the window so far to flip me off I thought he was gonna fall out of the car. Take that punk!

I have to tell this story.

One of my neighbours who owns a window and door store was moving the last bit of junk out of his garage last night because he sold his house. He’s got a short box F150 and was telling me that he tried hauling 5000lbs of material in the box the other day and it blew both of his back tires right off the truck. No big deal as he is running that thing into the ground on purpose. It has $12,000 worth of repairs needed and he won’t even change the oil. To each their own. My other F150 owning retarded neighbour, who I have mentioned on here before, just asked me if my truck could handle 5,000lbs. I said my truck is rated for about 3,500lbs payload. I then explained to him the 1500, 2500 and 3500 basic truck theory. He looked me dead in the eye and told me that my other neighbour with the 5000lb load should of bought Tundra for hauling that much weight. He said it’s the best on the market for hauling. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I seriously have the dumbest man on earth as my neighbour. It hurts to talk to that man.

I have a headache now.

Teddy, you sure it was a Mercedes? It wasn't some ***** in a BMW driving like an a-hole?
Have a happy 4th. Oh wait, your day was on Wednesday, wasn't it.

Tell me about it. I didn't get a stimulus check and I wasn't going to apply for the PPP deal but my banker lady asked me if I'd lost my freaking mind. I'm in.....
Happy 4th down by the river (Neil Young song, right?) Beautiful backdrop for festivities.

Thank you Sir. FWIW, the electrical panel in the garage on the right is the 150 amp panel the generator runs. The one on the left is the A/C, stove, dryer, and a sub feed to the shed that's not running the pumps for the house. They are on the generator. Did you guys pick your 16 circuits?
Have a great 4th. Be safe.

Mowed the yard for the first time with the Kubota. Cuts great, air conditioning, tilt wheel and comfy seat. The John Deere was promptly loaded into the trailer and taken out to my fathers so he can use it for a trimming mower
let the good times roll
