    Not really
    It’s because your old and slow and can’t defend yourself.
    I suggest a cup or stop having him practice martial arts..
    FYI
    Sitting and watching tv and having him get a running start towards you is a very very bad situation.

    :pccoffee: Ended up not having to work all night last night got out at midnight, back at it for the last hour and half now. 4.5 hours sleep but been kind of like that for that last week and taking its toll. I feel like shit. Pretty sure I am too old for this thing called work. At least at this rate. Last go live though until I retire for good. In theory.

    Looking good Dan!

    Only 1 Polka song at the wedding reception?! See that is why I don't go to the Cities much those folks aren't right there :p The picture of you and your bride looks great!

    Glad you liked the pie was pretty sure you would :thumbsup: Yeah that is the long way to get to Phillips from Hastings, Stockholm is about 120 mile round trip for me. But always has been worth it and I usually spend some time on the River shooting eagles when I do. Admiral will be coming back Stateside in a couple of weeks and going to his place in Phillips before heading to SD. His sauna burnt down a few years back, willing to bet that not a lot of people know where Phillips is. Hope things work out for your FIL.

    Morning.

    Another day. Trying to keep my sanity. Missing my own family.
    Coffee. Lots of coffee. Last time I looked at the clock it was nearly 0200. Up at 0800... :annoyed:

    Good morning. Gotta run some fuel up to a host site (when I get to my truck). Sipping some coffee and getting my head screwed on straight first.

    ....they do. Too damn lazy to go to the rv dump. Funny part is they "gas" their own rigs doing it but are too stupid to realize it.

    It’s time for today’s “Old Fart Confessional”.

    Got my first “Uber” ride yesterday, not too bad. I like it.

    Good Morning Everyone !!! :hattip:

    Morning Sitrep ....

    Currently at my AO 0840hrs 55° clear skies and high temp of 70° today !!!


    Enjoying my Pumpkin Spice Coffee and watching TV .Later on today going to take my truck to a local transmission shop to have it looked at . Either the TV cable needs adjusting or the downshift solenoid is going bad

    Lately while driving it it seems like it's not fully downshifting and is bogging on low speed acceleration . Seems like a lot of throttle pedal input to accelerate , 2 yrs ago I had the TV Cable adjusted as it had a lot of slack in it


    This where I was at yesterday!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup:

    When I was in fla we used uber.
    Got dumped twice within 2 min of arrival by the same asshole
    Son of a bitch still pulled up in front and carted away 4 people instead of me.
    They Should have a non refusal clause with 5 min or less of arrival time.
    Outside of that it worked pretty good.

    Ok, that makes sense. Yesterday we were laying on the sofa (in a spooning position) watching football, I was covering my junk with one hand as a precaution
    even though I thought for sure he was a sleep, then his little foot starts trying to push my hand out of the way. That's when I thought there must be something more to this ~ he probably doesn't want any siblings so that he gets my Taco :D

    Ours was SO easy, once I got the app downloaded via LTE :mad:.

    We were the only folks waiting for a ride, so pickup was right away. Dude missed our turn maybe 3 times, but we got to our destination just fine.

    Nope just another house to have if they need to use it !! , they still have the house in Hawaii !!

    Mike , any advise on what could be wrong with the transmission in my truck ?? . The TV cable does seem to have excessive slack noticeable at the bell crank on the TB . it was adjusted over a year ago at a transmission shop , could this cable be stretched maybe need replacement ??

    If it can't be adjusted correctly or stretched so much the angles during movement are wrong then no. Matter what you do it won't be right.
    Get a new cable and start from scratch.
