@Tacoma Mike-Awesome paying off the house. There will be a small nagging in the back of your mind at the end of each month-ignore it.
@Casper66- Nice pic of you two and sentiment from the wife. We don't really "need" anything more at our ages, but things like that are priceless.
@CVYota- Where you going Andy, local or up to the Sierras?

 

6 weeks + 7 floating days. One reason we all have been here so long.

I for one would be curious for the 2 sentence explanation on the non human contact , going out on a limb that I am sure you will gleefully take a chainsaw to but.. As a guess you will no longer talk to customer about their vehicle or repairs needed or done all communication will got through the service writers ? IN my experience with two places that do that here yeah umm no I want to talk to the mechanic since the service writers I have dealt with I am not even sure they could tell me the difference between transmission fluid or windshield washer fluid :}

That kinda goes without saying I'm ready for the big vacation

 

If he eats like you, Outback is in trouble!

We have been to all the peaks, there are a few hidden mine entrances we might try and find, or I may sit in the cabin in front of the stove. Depends on how the climb goes

 

Just about covers it

 

I always go and talk to the mechanics. No one has ever told me not to and they all know me and my truck. I hate when upper management sets the rules, they are clueless and just trying to justify their stupid high salaries.

 

Snowstorm is scheduled to come in early tomorrow morning and start dumping heavy snow throughout most of the morning and early afternoon. 5-10" depending on what channel I'm watching.

Snowblower tanked and fired up. Check.
Generators fired up. Check.
Vehicles prepped and emergency gear on board. Check.
Food and water supply inventory. Check.
Prescription meds all filled. Check.







Probably end up to be a light dusting of snow. LOL
