Went to Home Depot. Come out and truck wont start. Healthy crank just wouldnt fire. Sat around 20 minutes n tried firing it up again. No go. Hopped on phone and called AAA for a tow. While on hold I tried again and it fired up. Running like a champ. No idea what its problem is.

Does that dude give rides all day?

Probably not. I took the family for hot air balloon rides back in '04 in New Mexico. Being a largish group, we could only go 2 at a time. You start in the wee hours of the morning for the updrafts. By around noon, when I finally had my turn, we stalled out over someone's house. The balloon ground team had to get permission to come on the homeowner's property so they could grab the tow line and pull us over to an open field. It was awesome!

View attachment 775637 View attachment 775639 So my dad’s in town with his wife. Chloe and I joined them at 430am for a sunrise hot air ballon ride! You can’t tell in this pic but we are at 8600 ft. It’s was breathtaking and relaxing, and quite honestly spiritually awakening. We are so small.

That's so wonderful! Two lovely ladies in a rainbow hot air balloon. Now that's a perfect day. :)

Almost the same thing for DH today. Hopped in his truck after work, nothing. He got a jump and went to the parts store, checked batteries, they're fine. He's got a backup plan for the morning.
Utility inspector on his crew had the same thing yesterday.. They ticked off the foreman very recently.. HMMMM. Maybe a coincidence, maybe not..

Happened to my neighbor a few weeks back. I told him to wait a couple hours. It fired right up. Maybe it’s one of those pulse bombs the Ruskies are testing.

@LAwaters is correct. It actually takes a long time to get everything set up and put away. They do sunrise and sunset with nothing in between. Need the winds. We started at 530 and finished at 10am.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. The only constant in life is change. That’s my deep philosophy for the day. (Okay, you got me. It’s just two trite sentences that popped into my head and before I knew what was happening I had typed them out. I’m having a BK Moment.)

In other news, the $1.6+ billion has been won. By the government. Oh, and the ticket holder(s) get to share about $490 million. ;)

really.... disgusting isnt it... not even 1/3rd of the total... best to take the 30 yr annuity I suppose, but you still loose 60% no matter what.

what gets me is that it was the Louisiana Mega Millions ticket and it was won by someone in So. Carolina...

Completely disgusting. That’s not even factoring in the amount raked in on ticket sales. States claim the money on ticket sales goes to education. I’m sure a little low level forensic accounting would show otherwise.

Ponzi schemes are against the law.... for the rest of us. :grr:

Note of clarification on my morning post: my BK moment was not because you say trite things. Yours are anything but trite. It was a BK moment because I said whatever popped into my head. :)

And the people who can least afford it are the ones funding it. When you think about it, the lottery is downright evil.

Heya army,
Well,the lady that hit me admitted fault,waiting on check to replace my car(was totalled by insurance company)
Edit:If I win a decent size lottery she would receive a large chunk,for being a good person.It's called accident for a reason-it was an accident!
