60+ year old thread.

That is exactly the trouble I have with this, no real reason to have such a short life. My F-150 did 5 years of sub-zero starts and another 4 in Tucson heat before the battery quit. Usually when you suffer a heat problem with a conventional battery a dry cell creeps into the mix - and vigilance pays some dividends. I'm not a believer in "zero-maintenance", so I look. Maybe over-charging while driving?

 

Happy Birthday Mark. Hope it was a good day!!!

 

Hi susan. How is Annie doing? Did you figure out a wheel device for her? I might have to do one for my buddy Angus. He broke his leg and needs surgery to repair it.
He'll be laid up awhile and wont be mobile.

 

Thanks you! 65th birthday is in the books and I'm starting that 65th spin around the sun. Life is good!!

Rainy morning here in northeast PA but looks to be a nice weekend. Stay safe out there!!

 

@Devius6 (I don't know what does but I see all the cool kids doing it )...
Mark, I'm almost positive we've met. I believe it was summer time'ish of 18.
We met in your driveway!
Did you have a quad serviced at a powersports dealer in Dunmore?
I was the guy that delivered back to you.

 

What a small world!!! Yup, that was me!! I have a 2004 Kodiak 450 that I bought new there the summer that we built our house. Still running strong.

How cool is that!!!???

 

That is pretty neato.

Well my Coast Guard (academy grad this month) son in law (future), who has been living in place, at our place, had his 2019 Taco delivered yesterday - all the way from New London Connecticut - dirty but unscathed. Two 2019 Tacomas here.............wife likes his 4 door, better than my real pick-up truck access cab.

 

So golf courses are set to open here, but had difficulty getting a t-time. Got me the first available time next week, and can't wait. There are all kinds restrictions, but it will be better than staying home. Planning to walk, no carts, so will at least be some good exercise.

 

Our golf course hasn't missed a lick, still going strong.

 

Mmmm, 66th spin around the sun. . . Not that anyone's counting . . .


Oh, happy birthday. . .

 

Ooops! That's why I was a history major in college...and then the Army made me a field artillery officer.

 

Good thing it was a job that didn't use math.

 

Today was a day for me! I've been doing things for everyone else and not much for me. I was headed down to get some more pen parts so I ran by the recycling center and got rid of a bunch of crap that was piling up around my shop. On the way home ran by a car wash and got the crud knocked off the truck and then headed back to the shop to turn a new pen for ME!!!

 

Poor pup. Feel better fast Angus. How'd he do that? Ken, Annie is going downhill, but to kind of be expected at her age. She sleeps a lot, but still is ready for food and while she doesn't pester for walks anymore (or try and lead us the long way around the 'hood) she still loves to go - although she just walks/strolls now. No more power walking. Haven't had a chance to work on the wheels for her, will try this weekend.

Congrats to the "kid" on his new truck.

evening all

 

I hear you.... My draft rating was "women and children first cuz they can see what they are shooting at"
Still volunteered in '68 and they told me I could join but no combat MOS. Bet you you know how that worked out.

 

Good morning, everyone!! Looks like a nice day here - time to feed the new bee colonies and get some more outside cleanup done. Be safe!!!

 

Good Morning All . Sun is out and the Temperature is up... makes for a great day. Be safe and be well.

Good morning Ms Susan, It was a freak thing that happened. Him and their other dog Arya were running out of the house and down the steps when Arya bumped Angus, pushing him into the railing and Angus's foot bent to the side and Arya accidentally stepped on it causing the ankle to break. The Vet gave them 2 options. Try to set it and hope it heals well enough(because of the break) or surgery which will have a better outlook and less chance of Angus having any issues other than possibly a minor limp. He goes in Wednesday. On a good note, because both my son and DIL are working, we get to baby sit.

Stay safe and be well and hope you can come up with something for Annie. Take care.

 

Sending good thoughts for Angus!!!!

 

Thanks Mark, He isn't my dog, but he is a big part of our family. Deb and I went over to see him yesterday and even with his leg in a splint and on pain meds(plus he is supposed to be kept quiet), he went to his toy box and brought out a tennis ball so I would play ball with him. He is a real trooper. Be safe and enjoy the weather. We were planning on going up country yesterday but postponed it due to Angus breaking his ankle.

 

Good morning, all!! Looks to be a nice day again here in northeast PA!!Stay safe out there!!
