    Happy humpday.
    Actually winter here in flyover country. Had snow for the third time 10 days, now this:

    IMG_1875.png

    Also just got the windshield replaced on the GF’s CX-9. Golf ball sized rock came off the treads/tracks of trailered earth moving equipment on the highway. Rolling in a straight line at 70-75…2 lanes removed. The trailer hit a bridge seam and lost a couple wheelbarrow’s worth of mud and gravel. Why don’t those assholes half to clean off their rigs with a power washer or something. Can only imagine the damage that rig caused over the course of its journey.

    hit the windshield and created a nice 4” diameter ring/crack.


    Gripe over. Git after it stockers

    Sucks, some of these drivers participate in a little known sport. New a guy, let’s call him “Floor Board George” .
    Passenger vehicles need to stay away from construction and snowplows trucks, actually they would prefer if we weren’t on the road at all.

    Minor chips to deep to sand out.

    My first personal set from the 70’s.
    Clean them up and put them back in storage.

    I'd wager to guess that those are by far the best looking balls from the 70's.

    He's a handsome man, I'm confident enough in saying. Around my age. Last time the female nurse was hot, so that was a new experience.

    Put away. Taken out once a year.
    Used.
    Check for chips.
    Light recondition and then put away for another year.
    I don’t take the minor scratches out on these cause it’s my history in the scratches.
    Sounds funny but, if I did a pro job, I feel it would just be another set of balls.

    Good morning. It's a cold 19 freedomheits outside, a good excuse to stay inside as much as possible.

    I wanted clean off the Taco yesterday, I tried 3 different car washes and they were all closed.:confused: Apparently it's too cold for the car wash to operate? Is it the same for the Northerners?

    Passed with flying colors. Everything that was "evaluated" checks out!

    Proud to be on no prescription meds at my age.

    Even after coffee and taking the stairs up to floor seven, my BP was 114/72.
