Good morning and welcome to 2022!

It looks like Rob from the City started the year out with a good-looking meal.

I heard that Frank Somerville has had a drinking problem for quite awhile. It didn't just start a few months ago.

It was really good. Only problem is that with crab, there's not much meat. Even with 2 big crab, there wasn't much meat.

That's my line of thought as well.

Batten down the hatches! We’ve been experiencing 30-40 mph plus winds all day today with light rain. On the other hand the mountains to the North and East of us are really getting the snow along with the winds.

I hope that all of you are staying dry and warm out there.

Dang. I'd keep an eye out for it, but I'm not going to leave the house for several days.

Sounds like Frank was drunk with power along with alcohol. I'm not surprised he went crazy when he wasn't allowed to write his own scripts.

Good morning Nor Cal.....

Sorry to hear about the truck being stollen. I'm always surprised at how fast the crooks can steal newer trucks.

Sorry about the stolen truck. I'll keep an eye out.

Some thieves stole my catalytic converters and exhaust system. They also damaged the tailgate lock.

Insurance never pays what the real replacement value is worth. The insurance agency may total my truck because of what catalytic converters cost.

If I get out and about, I’ll keep and eye open for the truck.

Just got a call from the mechanic, and he’s not happy with the drive train shop who was supposed to have a replacement Dana 60LS ready before Christmas. We are exploring other options so he can get the Bronco home instead of taking up space in one of his bays.

Add to that, I dumped an inch of rain out of the gauge in the last 24 hours.
