    I was going to suggest jacking it up and putting plywood or 2x6, whatever. I did that a couple times at my last place. Had a friend bobtail over, pulling it out with a chain. Another time a random neighbor pulled Me out with a 4X4 454 Suburban. My Jeep at the time wouldn’t do it. Need some cat litter or gravel for traction. Helps to get the steers straightened out, I sank into the shoulder the other night, letting the dog out. Left some deep tracks on a Businesses lawn. The grounds pretty soft and wet right now. Winter grounds froze. Summer, usually dry. This time of year, never know. You need some loads of gravel, different types in layers. Make a circle. Best thing would be done asphalt road regrinds. Sometimes you can get it for cheap, or even free, from the Road Work Companies. Friend of mine in Wi. did that. Saved the Trucking Companies from hauling it as far. Made a nice driveway and circle out back. Had one nice layer of asphalt over it fir the driveway. The regrinds Can be spread out, and driven over with the Truck. Cheap way to go. Just throwing gravel will only sink into the ground. Need to do certain types in Layers. I can’t remember the best process. But ask others, so you don’t waste money.

    I made a statement earlier, I was going to town, noone made a move, so I got ready, and left.
    Got everything but grocery shopping done, but I visited the CPA and all paperwork has been turned in, and even was even told by the receptionist lady, “You have a nice signature for a man.”
    I didn’t know how to respond to that, I mean was it like a Mr Monk thing where it was all perfect and no letter any larger then the others, or like vs a doctor who makes a squiggly line. :dontknow:

    Going back to my playlist.

    Pasty Cline took Loretta Lynn under her wing when Loretta was first coming up. They were really close.

    Patsy Cline had the best voice I've ever heard. IMO
