    Thanks for the well wishes for Angus. He is my buddy. Great pup and a good friend. He'll be in the splint for a few more weeks but now that the drugs from surgery are wearimg off he is getting around pretty good.

    :wave: evening Carl.... Was listening to a lady who hadn't left home for over a month and caught it. Said she never thought about her mail, which she would check every few days. And never got super close to anyone else. One of the folks that delivered groceries or something, caught it. And her hubby went out and about, so he could have brought it home. How closely did he control his exposure?

    My big gripe with all this, is the number of folks NOT wearing masks. It's not one ethnic group doing any better than any other.

    There has to be a common denominator that ties everyone in with some being so isolated..

    There is a piece still missing and no one has found it yet

    That old man step accessory looks interesting. I will wait to install one, tho, because it looks like it could be easily knocked off on some of the roads I still travel. Maybe in a few years.

    Anything is possible but it actually sits a bit higher than the tow hitch based on the mounting points on the frame.

    Happy Saturday, everyone. A light coating of snow and 25 deg temps with wind greeted me on this fine Spring morning. :eek:

    Morning all:
    Here's one of the problems! The guy opened a restaurant in CA with proper social distancing seating, looks like the social distancing doesn't apply to the line and no one has masks on. MAYBE if people were a little smarter things would get back to normal a little faster, this pic. was supposedly taken 5/7/20.
    I just saw this at a local ice cream shop, curbside order only, but there were 3-4 people sitting shoulder to shoulder on a park bench outside eating ice cream!

    I bent the rear bumper and broke a rear taillight when I got stuck in a wash a few weeks ago. The end of the bumper is well above the hitch.

    When the Misses and I went to the market 3 weeks ago there was several big signs telling people they needed to wear a face mask to enter, and even had a rent a cop(no help at all) at the door. Inside I counted half a dozen or so with no mask on at all. Last week when we went, the first thing I noticed was a biiiiggggg rent a cop that was pretty nasty looking at the door and not one face without a mask. Maybe they just needed a better enforcer at the door:). Some people can be their own worst enemy and when the shit hits the fan, they cry expect everyone else to help them. Be Safe and stay Well folks.

    Amen to that! Looks like we'll be in the Red category for awhile given the continued spread here in the northeast area. I just wish the weather would warm out so I could get outside to keep busy.

    Stay safe and well, folks!!

    Evening all:
    :annoyed: Just saw this guy from the front window, dandy long heavy bearded gobbler, he's with 7 hens and could be tough to call.
    He will be around tomorrow, of course it will be Sun. and can't hunt or I would try for him behind the house. :annoyed: :(
    There are more turkeys coming out in my yard than I'm seeing in the woods, saw two other smaller gobblers one day and am seeing hens, but this the first time that I saw this one.
