Enjoy your Sunday guys, It's nice to be outside and poking around to see what's going on in the back yard.

Good evening guys.
That is madding Mike, nasty damage.
I scrape my yard and out down a layer of gravel, very icy after the freezing rain this morning.

Morris after filing a police report they informed me that there's a gang running around that has been named the kia boys. I guess they target kia cars.

A few yrs ago there was a gang of youths that targeted Oldsmobile cars Mike. I'm sure you can guess what they were called.

LOL Morris, Thanks Sean. Good morning everyone, It's Monday and a high of 71ºF and sunny today, then we're dropping back into the 30's & 40's for a few weeks. I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Tasty Taco Tuesday Illinois, Sean, Mike, Morris and all the crew. Another day in the 70's and plenty of sun for West Virginia. Maybe a little rain over the next couple a days. The extended forecast is maybe a day in the 70's then a day in the 40's and another day in the 70's. It is that time of year here when Ma Nature cany make up her mind or is off her meds! LOL

Mike, sorry to see the damage and glad they didn't get inside.

Morris, Spring is coming in about 10 days and the nicer weather. Hang in there!!

Sean, you are on the slide and short timing the teaching season! Have you been good to the students or busting their chops?

Everyone have a joyous and Blessed day!

Morning Gents. Yesterday was our one and only 70's day, the rest are going to be in the mid 30's to hi 40's for the next week or so. or so the 15 day outlook says, can't never believe them anyway LOL

Thanks Rod, I've already ordered the parts, shout be here between the 13th & 15th Parts were only like $80 with shipping the rekey on the cylinder will cost another $50, then my time to install it. Better than paying a $500 ded. Her car is already 11yrs old. plus it was just repaired recently last year when them kids smashed it running from the popo and my rates jumped another $300 for the year Can you imagine if I made another claim for this??? LOLOL

Fresh snow last night with strong wind, a few folks ended up in ditches.
Maybe the first day of spring in your area Rod but here we have another month or so to go before it warms up.
Bummer you have to fix it yourself Mike but better then your insurance going thru the roof.
