Now hubby and I are in a debate over truck or SUV. He wants a 4x4 for hunting.....ummm, no. He will not take a new truck hunting to get it all scratched up, especially so CD he wants to buy an old bronco later for hunting. If we got something new, we would keep the truck we have and get rid of the car.

Why 4x4 if there's no use for it here and it just jacks up the price? I could get more perks on it w/out it. Have a feeling my vote doesn't count. I don't see the point in 2 trucks. That's why I want an SUV. This is supposed to be my vehicle if we get something. So, we get what he wants.

I have a scuba diving suit that I could loan you.The flippers are a size 7.

Well all three dogs have had a bath on the same day. I took Ruger and Fiona with me to work and hubby and I bathed Shrek when I got home. Quite a chore that is. Our shirt and pants were soaked when we were done.

I want to go do something but don't know what. I just don't want to sit here the rest of the day.

James, the one in the pic is an F150.

Its hard to get groceries in the back seat of the truck with those dumb doors.

FV, wish you could go fishin'.

Sounds like a nice afternoon.
Dead in here today.

We're back from the field. Its only about 90 degrees, but the humidity is about 70%. CJ and Melanie both went through a 20oz bottle of water. Kat went through a huge sports bottle. I brought some for me too, but I think they needed it more than I did. I got home and Ive already killed about 60oz of water.

I think Kat has forgotten how to pitch. I really dont think she's picked up a ball since the mini-camp we went to a couple of weeks ago. I think we got a decent start on the break in process for her bat though. And my glove feels pretty good. I lot better than I was anticipating.

Now we're waiting for Kat's friend's parents to come pick her up so she can spend the night. Then its nap time for me and the little ones.

I'd go with the SUV. I have PUs for over 40 years but once I got the SUV my game changed. The only thing the PU dose better is I can just hose it out. Were as the SUV I have to vac. As for the 4x4 in your area unless your going mudding or running on the beach I wouldn't spend the extra. But then what would I know.

Dinner was awesome. I threw some premade burgers on the grill after a healthy dose of worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, and black pepper. While those were grillin' I diced up some red taters and threw them in some oil for some homefries. Melanie and CJ both ate all of their food. Something that rarely happens.

After dinner, I got them both in and out of the shower, all daily meds were given, and they are now in bed. Now I have to choose between watching today's race, or more Barrett-Jackson.

And ice cream... DEFINITELY need ice cream. I feel like I have too much healthy running though my veins after 2 hours of fresh air and physical activity.

4x4 is one of those things that the average person will rarely need. But when its time to use it, it sucks when you dont have it. In Norfolk, there were many times I wish I had it. Snow, ice, driving through flooded roads, etc. Here, I only seem to need it when I drive around to my own back yard. My one wheel drive (my truck is named Peg Leg Willy) truck cant drive back up the hill if there has been the slightest bit of rain, and Ive even had a couple of times where I couldnt pull out of my parking spot next to my driveway.

BUT, if you already have a truck, there is no need to buy a second one. If you have one, you dont need two. And this is coming from the guy that has a minivan, POS 4 door car, POS truck, and a bike.

Good morning. I need coffee and I need another nights sleep. This one stunk. I'm going to my mom's today to help her pick out a color for Alex's walls. She wants to decorate his room now. We decided on light grey walls so not sure why she needs my help on that. :laugh:

Sounds like you had a yummy dinner. We had frozen pizza.

OK, I can understand the 4x4 thing but he's really pushing on keeping the truck we have and buying another one. :facepalm: I know him and he is not listening to reason on this one. I'm about to get run right over by a 4x4. :laugh:

Morning! OMG, where is the coffee?!? Is there a tired emoticon?

Another beautiful day here. I'm going to try to get the dogs out as much as I can today while I'm working. It will give us all some much needed breaks from being stuck inside at my desk, where the dogs hang out with me while I work.

Hope you all have a great Sunday!
