A friend is dropping by and then we're out to dinner. Good night, Treefam!
...but no, my memory must be faulty, because there I was this evening, with the hedge trimmers this time, whacking down the stuff that's too tough for the weedeater...and why? When I have a perfectly able young man here who can do all that for me
...because I'm stubborn and just wanted to check it out and make sure it still worked...an hour later and sore arms and back and yep the dang thing works!...Son can do the rest though!

Good morning treefam. Sorry I haven't really been around. It's been a busy week. The new girl abandoned her job, so it left just me here. Also, we got the fair this week, so haven't had much down time. I ran the demolition derby Monday night. I was in the 4 cylinder class. Took 1st in my heat and won the feature. Also brought my car back out for the full size king of the hill and took 3rd in it. It was a good night for sure. The trophies were'nt ready in time, so i won't get mine until next week. Here are some before and afters of my car.

The odd looking paint blotches are from my 2 year old. I gave her a brush and let her go at it.


Glad to hear that gmo is doing well and hope that he is out of the hospital soon and recovering at an amazing speed.I spoke to Glassmanoak's niece on FB last nite and she said he was still in the hospital but doing good. He did not get caught in the flood.
Glad you are weathering the storm and sending vibes that everything turn around in your favor soon.and yes I am good
