    I understand about your truck.
    It really, really, sucks.
    I know two people that had this happen too. One couldn’t drive for two years. They kept her car.
    Now she is driving it again. I would think twice before you do it.
    One didn’t and regretted it.
    Give yourself a chance. Go for rides in it. Tinker with it.
    You will have to get something else and start all over again won’t you?

    Im ok.
    Little older.
    More creaks and grunts.
    More pills.
    So NORMAL LOL…

    Thanks Mike, definitely dragging my feet on selling it. It hasn’t been driven regularly since January, will see what happens, not going to give it away that’s for sure. Hey, it’s almost 7:00am, time for morning meds.:thumbsup:

    Good morning Porch Pals and Sue! Too dark thirty for sure! And the lot lights are out. Wait for sunrise, or the eclipse!

    Thanks for posting the pictures EJ. Always appreciate the funeral things in life :D.

    Looks like you had a good ride and enjoyed reading the sign. So true.

    Morning Jim, I missed what your issues are but I wish you well and hope the best.
    :pray:.

    Morning all:

    That stinks Jim, I think I would do the same as Mike suggested, give it a little time before you make the decision to sell the truck, of course that's your call. :notsure:
    Wishing you the best, the one thing we sure learn on here is everything that can go wrong with us as we age! :rolleyes:

    Both a :yay: and a :( for the rain today, :yay: because it's the first day of Pa. muzzleloader season (doe only), and the rain will save some of the few does that are around, the :( is because we are missing a day of archery hunting and my buddy's grandsons will also miss one of the few Saturdays that they can hunt.
    I've said it before, the deer hunting in our area is pathetic compared to what it once was, thanks to the Pa. game commission policies on doe hunting, then they wonder why they are losing hunters! :mad:

    Can't like that Carl. It's a shame the G-sons won't get that last day in. Sitting here at the soccer field waiting for the G-daughters game to start. :rain: rain pretty heavy now.

    Good Day Everyone!

    @boatswain it's not just PA that is messing up hunting. We have a lotto system for deer tags and locations here. In Minnesota some of the fishing regulations almost make some lakes catch and release because of slot limits (size) because most of the cought fish are outside of the slot. On 1 lake they pertty much destroyed it for the fishing enthusiast that wants to keep a fish or 2. They say take a picture and take it to a taxidermist and they can build you a fake mount.
    You can also go to a nearby casino and get a fish dinner because they are exempt from the slot. On the reservation.

    Good afternoon, everyone. Well the eclipse is over here, and I expected "more dark". I knew it wouldn't work, but I tried putting eclipse glasses on my phone, but a cell phone isn't going to get that shot anyway. I did have to laugh at the cautions I got on the way home!

    Apparently the "BRAINS" are too stupid to realize that it takes doe to produce buck! I 100% agree with antler restrictions to get bigger buck, but when they want the doe population down to a pittance of what it once was, we are seeing less and less deer every year. Since the inline season is doe only, button and spike bucks with horns under 3" are legal "does", I'm sure enough of them are being harvested during the doe only ML season.
    The prime time is coming up, the RUT, we will probably start seeing more activity and may even see or get a chance at a buck, MAYBE!
    If I were younger, I would definitely be hunting another state!!!

    Afternoon all:

    Those solar eclipse shadows are amazing Travir! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

    As always, cool pics. from the car show Kurt, BUT, a pink Corvette o_O! :laughing:
    Years ago I saw a darker pink 58 Thunderbird at a car show with the optional fiberglass cover that made it look like a two seater, and it also had a continental kit on it, that car was absolutely gorgeous!

    That is AMAZING! We had an almost complete ring of fire, that you needed glasses to watch, but all we saw other than that was blue skies!

    That Vette wasn't "pink", or at least not something that looked like I'd expect from pink. I've seen pink T-Birds, and tons of Mary K pink cars. Whether it was really pink, or "flesh", I'm leaning to the "flesh". It was yuck!
