    @AModelCat did you make it to the pub?

    I have now realized the 21st century definition of ‘bewitch.’ Any healthy adult male being kept up by, or supported by a female.

    I'm thinking this weekend I'll go. All of our covid restrictions will be lifted Thursday so it'll hopefully be a little more fun then.

    They have been testing the autonomous trucks for awhile now. A few states allow them on the road already for testing. It's crazy how fast that stuff is going. I think it's going to be here and ready alot faster than most folks think.

    Teslas are becoming quite popular here lately. Passed one guy on the left yesterday. Guy's on his phone, probably on autopilot. A lot of trust there lol. Exactly why I think these nanny systems are dangerous. They make you stupid and less attentive. When SHTF you're screwed because you expected the computer to think and react for you.

    Have passed or otherwise seen a few of the. Freightliner “autonomous research vehicles” running around the southwestern region. They do have drivers in the truck. Lots of electronic devices all over the truck.

    Summer vacations sure aren't the same as I remember as a kid...

    Last week was $900 in repairs, buggered my knee, and only managed to produce 2 loose, crappy bales of hay. This week I switched from farming to automotive and so far it's not looking much better as the Snap On truck leaves the drive. Haven't even lifted the hood of the Pete yet, and it's due for an overhead and service. At my current rate of positive outcomes, I'm not so sure taking the time off to "get stuff done" was such a great idea lol.

    Only thing I know, is that with this heat I'm not doing any of the planned fence building on this "vacation".
