    Default Now that the Jeep runs...

    Now that the jeep is going and stopping when directed and in the general correct direction I had a bunch of Jeep duties piled up. Most everything I do requires 4wd on the straight up and down back lot.

    Last time I mowed I broke a weld on the belly pan and in the course of trying to get it running again I got it jammed in the fence row. Couldn't go forward or backward and I had to tow the tractor out.

    I spent an hour and a half today moving vehicles around, pulling trailers to where they needed to be and most importantly, getting the john boat up to the road.

    I forgot to put the cover on the john boat last fall and when I went back to get it I realized I had a tree farm started in the leaf littler that half filled the boat. At least I had pulled the drain plug after its last use last year and it was not full of water.

    Tomorrow it gets the pressure wash treatment.

    I am anticipating that after all this hard work I will deserve a trip to the lake and some fishing.
    If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?

    Sounds like a lot of work, but sounds like you are making some progress. Good luck on the fishing.

    maybe you fellas need to get a job so you can rest up
    so the definition of a criminal is someone who breaks the law and you want me to believe that somehow more laws make less criminals?

    Not looking for a "Job"......because "Work" is a 4 letter word.
    But now a "Position".....just part time of course....would be a consideration.
    Naw.......

    You could not pay me enough to go back into a school house and teach the lies and social engineering in the text books of today, or deal with the #%@tards running the systems.

    I was already overworking my political acceptability filter before I retired, I am sure I would be arrested by the political correctness police within five minutes if I went back.

    actually Krat, teachers like you are what is needed but I don't blame you for not wanting to fight the fight
