August 2020 BS Thread

I can not believe someone has not already started a BS thread post for the new month. Let me brag about the gas mileage I got with my 2018 Expedition on a 600 mile road trip. Somewhere in the mid 20's driving the speed limit and half of the trip was with the inferior Iowa gas mixed with corn. Happy new month.

Crap! Monday is here and I work a full week this week! What am I to do?

That is some good mileage for a big SUV.

Yay Monday!

Sure was nice not having to unload a 4 wheeler when I got home on Sunday.

For those who are not Jay, my 4 wheeler blew up a top end and probably a piston this weekend. I sold it to Cameron's neighbor for $400 that same day!

Good morning Chris! That's never a good thing but can't beat selling it that fast! Time to move on to something different.

Busy day for me today too but over now. YAY!

We are going out to dinner with Chris tonight to celebrate 6 years of sobriety today. We are so proud of how he has turned his life completely around. Never give up on your kids folks.
