Holy crap Bowtie. That must of been a scare to your family.

Same buddy in court for a DUI. He was being cocky so the judge looked at him and said, you know Danny, there’s not much between you and an idiot. No filter Danny replied, yes your honour there is, it’s this table. That cost him 14 days. What a guy.

Edit. Rained out for the day. That’s why I’m on here so much. Damn it’s boring up here.

Are you sure this is your "buddy" and not your alter ego? Sure sounds like something our own Teddy would say.....
What about the bugs up there? I heard the mosquitos and such can be pretty bad in the summer. We went fishing in Louisiana down below new Orleans a few years back. We stayed in a house on the water and you literally HAD to be inside by dark or risk being carried off by a mosquito swarm. They are wicked on the bayou.

Sorry, can't sugar coat some things.
Well said!!! That's perfect in a nutshell!
We are our own demise somehow, it's just nuts how screwed up that is.

Bugs are bad up here especially when you just stop your truck and get out. You will be swarmed by thousands of horse flies. They eventually screw off when the vehicle cools. Yesterday when I pulled in, I parked far away from the side door of the house and waited about an hour to unload to let the horse flies settle down. Those buggers take a bit out of you but I find it’s like a little pinch. In town, the bugs aren’t too bad during the day but they do get crazy at night. Mosquitos on the golf course can get pretty bad and these F’ers are big. Mosquitos, sand flies and horse flies are the most annoying ones but they don’t really bother you when you’re running from a bear. 😂

Edit. Sounds like me but I guarantee it wasn’t me. 😂😂

I can get care whenever I want and am not waiting in line for months. I will not pay more in taxes to wait; that's nonsense.
Thank you guys, you make me proud!

I also refuse to go to Walmart. For walk in I go to the grocery, liquor, hardware and drug store to cover the majority of my needs. Clothes come from Dickies online and FTE feeds my dark humour and odd bit of tech.

I'll take my wife there and drop her off at the front door then park strategically where I can see the door I know she's coming out of. We live in a good neighborhood but freaking weirdos from all over town come here. We don't do much at Target because of the f**/tranny love they have. Always packing.

Only time I shop at Walmart is to buy toiletries because they are way cheaper than the alternative. I buy in bulk so I don’t have to go there often. The wife’s on her own at that store.

Well gents some shyt went down today. Hard start cap on my AC condenser went up like a Roman candle. Whole condenser might be shot. 8000 btu window unit keeping house less hot. We are out in the camper - thank god for small miracles. At this point I can not recommend a 5-2-1 hard start kit. It made it 2 months and now this. AC unit is under warranty through Trane so hopefully they act swiftly.

My mother was exposed to child of someone who tested positive. Hopefully nothing comes of that.

Going camping for about to be 3 yo’s birthday so he will have a good time. Nice to be out of house as it will be warm in there for a bit.
