National Night Out, Back the Blue event this afternoon. Did not have to worry about anyone stealing my flags. The old truck was surrounded by cops!

Happy Tarantula happy life.

Used to take my kids just up the hill in the fall when they migrate to find mates to catch one for show and tell.

Now that I got reminded, I'll have to take the grandkids up to get one. We got lots of them around here.

They're around here too. I caught her in my backyard. She just walked right up to me. Now she's spoiled with free food and a nice tank to crawl around in.

I try to play with her but she ignores me. Kind of like my dogs...And my wife.

You think maybe she's/he's unhappy being boxed in?

She probably is unhappy. She is a female.

Thats pretty cool gig for your Mom. Demonstrates a lot of respect for her.

Not getting the corvette on a trailer though. If they're skeert to drive it or its broke...leave it in the barn. JMHO.

It really was a cool gig for her. She grew up in this town, Friendsville, MD. I believe she is the eldest resident. The Friend Family Assoc. has their museum and library in the old bank building and my mom ran it right up until it's temporary closure due to covid. They call her the town historian. We are related to John Friend, first settler in the region (1765) at the location that became Friendsville. A couple years ago the DAR presented her an award for the work she has done for the community. John and John Jr both fought in the Revolutionary War.

The Vette on trailer had me scratching by head. Runs hot going slow? I dunno. Not a good way to "show off". More like embarrassing. Did they at least drive it to the parade? A nice car like that should be hauled in an enclosed trailer

Yeah. That is a head scratcher. You have a car like that and can't even drive it in a parade????

I would have had the top down and had your mom ride in it instead of that Miata.

Congratulations on all you mom's accomplishments. It's good to see her get the respect that she deserves.

**special-K** · 08-03-2022, 09:55 AM

She wants to make babies. Better get out back and start hunting her a mate!

**special-K** · 08-04-2022, 03:39 PM

Maybe he has regular tags and insurance which doesn't insure for parades

Thanks guys. Definitely a working man’s truck. It’s got an air compressor and hose reel mounted up against the front cross box, and a GM accessories under rear seat storage bin for extra tools and such. It really came out pretty nice all things considered and it’s got a TON of tools on it.

I have a one ton dually and it's never seen a days work since I've owned it. None of my trucks have. Because I'm old, beat up, and lazy.

Finally decided 4 years of push mowing a half acre was enough, got my first riding mower today.

I get tired about just thinking about push mowing on a half an acre.

**Steeveedee** · 08-05-2022, 11:14 PM

When we bought this house, it had the worst front yard on the block. I worked it over, and planted a nice (from seed) lawn. It was like a postage stamp, green and pretty, 33 feet by 16 feet.

I was traveling for work, and the wife just couldn't send the boy out to do it, and he wasn't going to do it unless he was told, so she hired the neighbor's gardener and it went to ****. He has some sort of nasty grass that made its way off the bottom of their mower into our yard. We had clumps of weeds in the back yard, which they insisted on mowing. Throwing dirt everywhere. What a bunch of clowns. I stopped traveling for business in '06 and fired them. Now the front is drought-resistant plants. Marginally better.

I am a bit younger than most on here(30) so it never really bothered me until recently with all of the rain we have had. My push mower kept getting clogged with the slightly wet grass so I knew it was time to upgrade to something that could handle it.

30? My youngest son is older than you. He's infesting a room at home yet, and hasn't mowed the lawn in over 15 years. Good on you!

I had a house with a big lot. Nothing like a half acre but it felt like it when I mowed it. It had Saint Augustine grass. That stuff is thick. I had it because it was tough grass and I had 2 really big dogs that would tear up a lawn.

I don't miss mowing grass at all. Not even a little bit.

My new dash pad arrived today.

Luckily the UPS driver added tape around the broken area to keep the air from getting out.

Dumb question but was the dash pad damaged? I only ask because I've gotten packages that were all smashed up and the contents somehow survived.

I always get a sick feeling when I see a smashed box on the doorstep.
