How true! And yet, nothing that falls from underhood can manage to hit a driveway!!

 

Well, it got approved.
The guy I dealt with wasn't there, but all questions got answered.
Process begins tomorrow. (Just the black stuff in the middle~!)

 

Love the Native carving in the mantel above, Inuit I think... and the black stuff rocks too.

 

I recall working in the bottom of the fireroom on ship and dropping something into the bilgewater. Everytime I drop a tool, I picture that scene.

Umbrella, what a novel idea.

 

Evening all:

Yea, and it's also fun trying to find it!

 

A friend had his pace maker replaced 2 weeks ago. We drove him to his follow up appt in Asheville.

Had a super day with him.
We took him out for tacos at White Duck Tacos.

Then chocolate ice cream made with chocolate roasted at the same place as the ice cream is made.

See the factory.

Then espresso at a shop rated no 4 in the US coffee shops.

My apologies. It was not my intent. I fixed that just now.

So true, and that's after removing the squirrel guard Toyota calls a skid plate.

 

Good morning fellow Porchies!! 21 deg here this morning...I want to go back to Antigua!!!

 

Better hustle if you want to use it these cool mornings. We've already used ours a few times.

 

Good morning, all.

Getting the house all cleaned up and ready for Thursday. Had a CAT Scan of my heart taken yesterday. Appointment was for 2:30 and I was out of the office by 3:00. Cardiologist called me at 4:30 with good news. The Aorta has not enlarged from the last time I had the procedure, 2 years ago. Need to schedule my next 6-month checkup today.

My sister stopped at the local Toyota dealership yesterday to look at Tacoma's. There were not a lot of new vehicles on the lot and they all had a dealer mark up, price increase over sticker, of $5,000.00, she will not be buying a new vehicle anytime soon. I asked her to check and see if the 5K markup is on ordered vehicles or only on vehicles on the lot.

Now is not the time to be buying a new or used vehicle.

 

great time if you're selling a used vehicle. I can't believe what 1st gen Tacomas are selling for these days. I've actually thought about selling my 03 DC and just buying a reliable Honda civic. I really like my truck, but my days of 4 wheeling are long gone.

 

That's too cold already Mark! Was promised an overnight of 41* - Yellow Submarine data reports it hit 33*! Checked my greenhouse heater control, and it's ready to go. Plan to have them in there by Wednesday, even though it's not supposed to be as cold for a bit.

Great news on the checkup Tom! Always glad to hear that kind of news these days.

Well, Good Morning Porch Pals and Gals! Simple day - hair cut, think I'm going to grab a generator down at Harbor Freight (might as well), and start moving plants.

Once I actually get the right stuff ordered later, the fireplace insert isn't likely to get here any sooner than mid-January anyway; which is pretty good lead time these days. If I had found them sooner......it's an odd search down here - had to actually get to places that "might be selling" - and only one of the three places actually did!

 

Spent many hours looking for that $15 socket wedged into a spot you never knew
The vehicle had…

 

I was replacing a headlight bulb yesterday, and dislodged the spring clip. That little sucker found more places than you can imagine to fall and hide as I worked to put it back in!

 

That heart shit can follow you around if you let it. I'm convinced that a good attitude is it's own reward and an injured heart knows it. So good for you. Let the healing continue...

 

Exact same thing happened to me...twice! Thank God for magnets.

 

Went out pheasant hunting with a friend and my awesome lab Sprig. Pheasants are in the smoker to be served on Thanksgiving. Here’s a couple pics

 

Afternoon all:
Never ate smoked pheasant, sounds good though!
Tomorrow is put up tree stand day and stash the deer buggy for my buddy, hopefully it's worth the effort for him to get a buck.
