Delaware Tacomas

Morning all. No bakery run today?


Debating on heading to the dealership to test drive a Camry

 

Hey Eric,

Oh, the Bakery run was made!

I also tanked up my truck...$3.01/gallon...I was almost at 1/4 tank. (14 gallons added)

Prepared breakfast...8 eggs/scrambled, veggies and toast...eldest and her hubby are driving up to north Philly today to visit their friends so we are grand-pup sitting today.

Gives me a chance to work on the yard and even remove that over-torqued bolt on my Talon CAT Plate.

Weather is mild/overcast but no rain!

I better get started.

 

Bought another 30 bags of Top Soil...

Already laid down 56 bags and still have more to do!

I'm taking it slow since I'm doing the pick-up/delivery myself.

My wheelbarrow only handle 4 bags at a time...which is enough weight for me to push to location and tenderize chunks with the shovel. lol

Started the easy-out thing and have truck on ramps...I think I need different easy-out kit.

Should be another busy day tomorrow since I need to clean/replace litter for 2 boxes and do my meal-prep for the work week.

 

Now that sounds like a productive day!

 

Thanks!

I took a break from wheelbarrowing and trimmed the tree in the backyard...I think it's a "Snow Fountain Weeping Cherry Tree".

Lots of branches that overlap each other and grow in many directions.

There were lots of blossoms and I could literally taste the sweetness from the falling flowers.

The bees didn't bother me either...they were so busy pollinating.

This tree is next to our deck so during summer, plenty of wasps/carpenter bees congregate near the deck fencing.

Looking forward to having nice grass and a doing some minor fixing to drains and replacing solar garden lights.

 

You can replace the rechargeable battery in some garden lights.

 

Good morning Ned, good morning Delaware + TriState Area.

Yeah, I've had a heck of a time trying to find batteries for these garden lights...I've even let them stay put for the past several years...

Some of them are damaged from my riding mower skimming them while others are flat broke.

I'll just pull and replace the lot of them...I'm hoping my yard yields nice grass with all this work I'm putting into it. lol

It's coffee and pastry time before I head out into the yard...it's a nice cool morning.

 

Morning neighbors

 

Good morning Eric + Delaware + Neighboring States.

Welp, I attended 2 MX Production Meetings today...7 o'clock & 8 o'clock...on this last day of March 2025.

After going to these meetings as Active Duty Supply, I figured I'd be done with these things...BUT No!!! lol

I'm feeling a little bit excited as tomorrow is my USAF Anniversary & Retirement date--see my sig for dates.

Tomorrow is also the day I have the TRD Suspension upgrade done to my Sport.

Have a great week everyone.

 

Good morning Delaware + Neighboring States.

Welp, today is the day!

Not only is it the first day of a new month...

I'm celebrating my USAF Anniversary and also taking in my truck for TRD Suspension Upgrade.

I will have good dialogue with the Service Department and let them know how excited I am and how much I trust them.

It's a 6hr job and my appointment begins at 8am; I should have my truck by the end of the day.

 

Morning Ed, congratulations and happy anniversary. Excited for you and to see your truck once it’s all done!

I spent a couple hours at the dealer yesterday….
Resulted in me getting great mpgs this morning.

While I didn’t want another car payment, this’ll be the same as gas alone in my truck and I’ll have something to show rather than exhaust up in smoke.

I still have my truck. But no mod plans for a long time.

Hey Eric,

That's a clean looking ride for economy fuel consumption. Congrats!

 

Welp,

Got a new plan for my TRD Suspension Upgrade.

More info to follow...

 

Thanks Ed, it’s a smooth, nice, quiet ride!

Sorry, not gonna “like” this post since I know some of it lol. Good luck!

 

New plan involves me driving up to Newark, DE this Thursday and getting a new Tacoma loaner while my truck gets new suspension.

 

Good morning Delaware + Neighboring States.
