Well, just stopped at the truck accessory store, and he informed me he couldn't get anything for my truck steps anymore. Said he was trying to find something the other day for someone else. He said the problem is the goofy cab size they did that year , with the 1/4 swing door. Glad the truck isn't higher than it is then, but it'd still be nice to have them

Dang that sucks. Was sick with a 102* fever for 3 days straight last week and then hand dug 14" deep trenches through the yard all day sat, sun, mon. Got all the irrigation lines fixed and and the water main reran because the barn was built where it used to run. Then trenched some more for the new propane tank and lines. Now need to fill in the trenches for the irigation still then propane trench next week.

I was on vacation last week and was sick 4 days of it, same thing. It was covid. 2nd time I've had it, wasn't as long this time but just as miserable. Was supposed to get the f250 rustproofed but I had to reschedule.

That's a lot of digging Andrew. Glad the Excursion sold also.

We have had a few customers notify us after they were in that they tested positive for covid again. So that's going around again.

we had a good weekend kayaking in Rockford. Other than having to tow Keli the last3/4 of a mile.

I finally got my truck into Krown rustproofing, they did an awesome job. The truck looks new underneath again. And I also installed a remote start on her, aftermarket plug and play and it uses the factory key! Only thing I have to do before winter is change the oil, it'll be mobil one and a factory filter. I'm really liking this f250 gasser.

really missing sitting in a tree this year. my son has taken an interest in shooting bow real recently, and i think my first compound i held on to for all these years might finally actually be an appropriate draw length and weight for him to start getting some practice in. might even have to bust mine out. currently looking for a cheap target to get going with.

I have a really nice compound set up. I'll dig it up and text you some pics. It's like new, I've never shot it. Really adjustable for weight and draw length as he gets bigger and stronger.
