    That looks really good...40 degrees and full sun here on the farm...that north wind is a bit raw though.

    Hmmm...I'm not quite sure how to interpret that...is this something you sing to the OM or somebody else???

    IMG_20231218_125917656_HDR.jpg IMG_20231218_125909931_HDR.jpg Well this load sucks. I should get detention at some point. $75 an hour. I have pipe stakes. $280. I have 6 pieces of dunage. I show up I need 20. Lmao. What am I going to build a house. Home Depot and back. Get routed here. But first they told me to back in a puddle and off comes a mud flap. In like 5" of water? I wasn't stopping, might get stuck.

    Well only the truck. On one side. But you have no fing idea how deep. The whole is. I hope I don't need to get pulled out. Unlikely but possible. What happens when I have 45k worth of pipe on. Yeas I would pass on this if I knew it was this bad.

    I've had a mad crush on Julie Andrews for YEARS, but I have never seen that movie.

    Might have to check it out.

    I've noticed that gravity seems to pull me to the ground harder than it used to, then kinda seems to hold me down, too.....

    Well, tonight's my Friday.

    Thanks God.

    I'm driving the spare truck. It starts up on a "mother-may-I?" basis, passenger side moto-mirror doesn't work, and it's an automatic. I keep reaching for the clutch and shift lever, but they're not there.

    And the ELD tablet keeps blacking out.

    The temperature has plummeted to the mid-30s with a motherless wind, and a "winter weather advisory" is in effect......

    BUT, after work comes WAFFLE HOUSE!
