Yes it looks like a winner. I'm just needing to get the front off the ground so I can drag it with the Kubota. I'm waiting on an installation of my culvert to back up to them to take them to the sawmill. Tim, you are right about thr Amish. They have a lot of things figured out that we don't.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

Today. I tried to buy a faucet.

I am remodeling my bathroom. I’m putting in a new vanity and sink. The whole nine yards. I looked at a bazillion faucets until I got a headache. Then I found one that I really liked.
Then I see it... In big capital letters “NOT AVAILABLE IN CALIFORNIA’. Really? You’ve got to be kidding me. It’s a faucet for god’s sake! What’s the problem? Is it going to give me cancer like everything else under the sun that they put the dumb warning labels on? Where does it stop? I’ve been around a long time and my bathroom sink never did anything to me. I wish that I could say the same about the mirror. That thing is just downright cruel.

We had that problem once. My wife had a friend in AZ and she shipped it to her. Then, she shipped it us.

If it's something you really want, I can help you.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

Got my tax return back today. I've been sweating it because I thought that I'd owe a ton of money for sure like last years disaster.

Well knock me over with a feather but I'm actually getting money back. Not a lot but it sure beats paying. I'll take it all day long and twice on Friday. What a load off my mind.

Also had a setback. My new blinds that I ordered are on back order. So if I move into the new place it'll have no window coverings. I'll be living in a fish bowl. Bad news for the neighbors. If they see me naked they may become violently ill.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

Installed a new drive belt on the Gravely zero turn and started troubleshooting a surging/jerking issue in the golf cart. Batteries and cables seem to be fine (both less than two years old) so I am thinking it may be the inductive throttle sensor. One is on order and will replace that when it comes in.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

Put a "No Soliciting, thank you" sign on the front gate. We'll see if people can read and heed.

If we want it, we'll go find it ourselves.

I don't get any solicitors. I have a big ole German Shepherd in front and he doesn't care for them. That takes care of that.

I bought a new DD truck today. My F450 just isn't working for me now. It's so big and it's not like I'm going to do any lifting anymore. I can't. So it's going away and I replaced it with a 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. It's smaller and better suited for my needs. I bought it on the net so it'll get delivered Thursday. I like my 2019 Wrangler so hopefully I'll have good luck with this one too. It was expensive (what isn't anymore) I stared at the computer for half an hour before I finally pulled the trigger.

I actually have had good luck so far. I got my Porsche, my Corvette, and my F450 online and they were better than expected. The Jaguar...Eh not so much but the guy told me what it needed. So it really wasn't a surprise. I knew going in.

Hopefully the Jeep will work out too. I got it from Carvana and they seem pretty reputable.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

I locked my painter in the yard today. I was leaving and told him that I was closing the electric gate and to use the other one. No problem. He has the key to that one.

About 2 hours later he calls me and says he's locked in. So again I said to use the south gate. He says he can't because I have all my cars parked in the way! That's a direct quote. He wasn't happy. I told him to just sleep in his truck until I got there tomorrow. He didn't think that was funny and called me vulgar names.

So I told him where the extra controller was and he hung up on me. I just love teasing that guy.
