    I’m pretty sure +1M Freightliner Cascadias aren’t supposed to be shiny like this.

    Truck runs great. Family is great. I’ll be heading back home finally. Daisy my dog is great.

    Hoping to meet up with @Blu_Ogre and exchange cash for trinkets.

    My coffee taste has returned…


    I’m not sure what else I’m supposed to update.

    Daisy back riding with you? Ever get that refrigerator stuffed in there? Nothing wrong with a shiny truck. Shows you take some pride and care of the equipment.

    Tis that time of year......

    Plum tree is in bloom and just got a snort of the blossoms walking in.

    Looks like about 2 weeks till the pears bloom.

    Probably 4 to Cherry blossoms.

    Things are a bit later in my micro climate.

    Yep but I got a different term for it...... Retirement.

    On the flip side, now I sometimes I feel the need to look for an excuse to leave the property.

    Mostly enjoying yes.

    It does have a different set of "life challenges" to work with though.
