Ha!

I gave up on lettuce. Year after year I planted lettuce and never ever have I got a head of lettuce.

We do have onions on the side of the house that sprout up every year that we just cut the tops off for harvest and leave the bulbs. I was picking off them as I was doing the garden work for a little reminder of what I am doing all that work for. lol

Here you have to make a 6' fence and then plant a garden...........unless you want to feed the deer.

My garden (fenced for the varmints) is a swamp at the moment. As is the rest of the yard.

Nice scenic pics Brent, I need to travel up your way sooner or later just to see it all.

Went to my middle daughter's graduation today, she got a masters in nursing degree. She's anxious to get to work, it's been a long road of schooling!

Eric, my place would not be the place to stay lol much better places with something to look at other then my used car lot.

Here you need the chicken wire fences and spray things down with stuff moose dont like or else they will eat it.


Everyone is posting about doing so much today. I had high hopes for the day but laziness prevailed and i hung out in bed all day watching TV and seeing the sun shining in the windows and birds chirping.

I have to rush tomorrow after work and get my trailer ready for the first trip come next weekend. Problem is i'm going to be in Seattle/Ferndale WA for most of this upcoming week. I get back Thursday about 10PM and leave for camping Friday around 12pm!

i still need to flush the water system (drain the antifreeze), put a new battery in it, fill the propane tanks, buy food, pack.....

yeah i'm a huge procrastinator lol

Yes we have a 6' fence around the gardens and trees. Not only for the deer but the damn rabbits too!

We are the second owners of this truck...bought it from a dealer that specializes in diesel trucks in Houston. I actually have the original window sticker from when it was purchased in San Antonio...I'm pretty happy to have it. It is in excellent condition!

We have jack rabbits, deer, gray squirrels, and whatever else creeps around at night.

We also have a new family of rabbits near by this year. Past years I never had this issue. They ate all our broccoli and lettuce before it had a chance to make. Good thing rabbits don't like onions.

New spark plugs and boots at 180K. Lateral electrodes were definitely worn to about half thin compared to the new ones. Hope to see some improvement in gas mileage on our road trip with the TT from Wisconsin to Alabama this June. Also did oil and filter last weekend.

Make sure you clean the MAF sensor if you haven't recently. Made a huge difference in my MPG.
