    It's in the news Tom, they are being stolen. :( First it started with dropping glue traps in them and pulling out mail, now they are just stealing the whole darn mailbox. Seems like they are looking mainly for checks that they can somehow modify to fraudulently get money.

    HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to you and the wife Mike!

    Only one thing missing in the food plot pic. Bill, the deer it's supposed to attract!!!

    Enjoy Hawaii Ivan, don't know where he went, but a member of the porch, cheech, lives there.

    DONE, but didn't think it was political, just practical. If the grid was shut down, or there were no charging stations available, I guess it could be an option if you wanted to charge an EV . :notsure:

    Morning all:

    :wave: Sue!

    Another yearly project out of the way, just got the "66" inspected, a little over 200 mi. on it since last inspection and it seems like I just had it inspected. It must be my imagination, but these years really seem to be going fast anymore! :rolleyes:

    A little something every chance we get.
    Thought I already did this, but what do I know? Congratulations @Tacoma Mike ! Enjoy a great trip!

    :pccoffee: Good Morning Porch Pals & Gal! Mowing done, pool time enjoyed. Time to get the Tacoma inspected, shopping, and maybe get to the garage door opener. Finally heard back from Chamberlain (garage door opener).... all my problem with the app that they blamed on everything but themselves... "Please force an udpate on the app, as they have fixed something related to your problem".
    OK, well, then....:fingerscrossed:

    I think you're right. Without employment to drag things down, it's September already!

    LOL, me too Sue! Can't tell an old guy something is "included with your product", then not have it work. Everything about the opener works, and I don't even care about the app, but.... :boink::argue:

    Afternoon all:

    Just got a notice with my internet bill that they are raising rates by $4.00 a month, who would have thunk!!
    Also included is a reminder about the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) where a credit of up to $30 a month is available for eligible households, I wasn't eligible!!!
    You can read between the lines on my thoughts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

    I just turned 42 and I’m going to be a grandpa. Does that make me an honorary old man?

    Thanks Tom. Last May got a 2007 SR5. Basic truck, but I love it. Just got AVS Ventvisors. Planning for retirement, I traded in a newer SUV in for it. When I retire I don't want to be paying taxes, insurance etc. on two vehicles like I have been, but need a truck for firewood and I just prefer driving it over an SUV. The plan is to sell Silverado, but while I'm working full time will keep it as a backup.

    Here is a picture for Mark. Took a walk through the Wellington Botanical garden in New Zealand and saw the apiaries and thought of Marks bees.
