Good morning all. I am ready for a nice weekend at the beach.

 

Morning everyone. 36 deg here this morning in the chilly northeast and frost on the windshields. Where did Summer go and who stole Fall?

Hopefully I can catch up on grass cutting this weekend after the rainout last weekend.

Enjoy the beach, Tom!!

 

THX Mark. It will be a nice weekend with the wife and son. We have a 12yo son. I see at least 2 games of miniture golf happening this weekend. The water is around 70 degrees so it will be nice.

 

Nothing like spending time with the family, Tom!

 

Morning All. Its a good day. Grass is cut, wife is gone to work and I'm starting on the grill Jim

 

Pic of said grill when finished.

 

morning all and happy friday... oh, wait, it doesn't matter to you retired folk

Tom, have fun at the beach and good luck on the grill, Jim.

It's SSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOO nice out this morning!!! 65* and cloudy and this is the high for today and this is after over 90* yesterday. What a change.

 

Good morning Susan. Nice sleeping weather all up and down the east coast last night.

 

Will do I'm in no hurry. I have to pick what way to go with this, I found a real nice OME chrome one on crack's list. Don't know if I'm going to go white, black or keep it as is.. Any help on this one. I know if I sand it down and paint I'll never get the chrome back. Ive been looking at the thing trying to make up my pea brain what's going to look the best... Jim

 

I know. I didn't open my window last night - was over 80* when I went to bed. Wish I had when I took the pooches out this am.

Color matched all the way!!!

 

Morning everyone.....weather report here = RAIN!!!
We bought our new house last November and went all out with landscaping. We wanted instant gratification so we bought about 22 new trees, some over 10 feet tall. This summer was soooo hot and noooo rain, we lost half of them. They just couldn't establish their roots and I think we ended up over-watering them because of the heat.
Oh well....I guess that means less leaves to pick up now!

 

Jim I have to agree with Susan. Color matched makes the entire front end flow gracefully into the rest of the truck. I was amazed at how well it cleaned up the front end on my Tacoma.

Seeing pics is one thing but when you see it on your Tacoma it will look a lot better.

 

Rob:
Did the nursery center have a guarantee on the trees?

 

morning all! really cooled off here in the northeast. don't think we hit 36 but marks further north. talked to the guy that knows the gen.. said he really doesn't know what he does,but that he's 2nd. in command,and goes overseas alot. i'd like to get his pension.

 

We got 20% off by using the landscapers discount when we purchased, so NO returns.....If we had paid full price they would have refunded the dead ones.
Hindsight is 20/20.

 

Starter wood and less to rake, dude you have to look on the up side... Jim

 

Could that be LTG Rhett Fernandez? He's the CG of the Army Cyberspace Command at Ft Belvoir, VA.

 

don't think so. pretty sure his name is reggie hernandez. reggie could be short for regionold or something like that. only ever new him as reggie,and anyone you talk to always says reggie.

 

Sorry, Carl. It should have been Rhett Hernandez. I have a copy of the full active Army general officer roster and that's the only Hernandez I can find.

 

just was talking to his friend,and asked him if reggie was his right name or a nickname. he said "geez",I dont know,we always called him reggie. but it's definately hernandez. apparently that's him,if that's the only general with that surname. by the way,never heard of the other two branches of the military,find that interesting,now if only I could remember them! just thought of this - rhettgie? and everyone says reggie.
