Morning all. Been up for a couple of hours already, but only now settling down for a cup of coffee. May sample the Almond Mocha later.

For a change we have grey skies and a drizzle. Could use some heavenly water as things are starting to get dry. Everything is very green, but the green needs water to.

Yesterday discovered a problem with the new Sulastics on my truck. The shackle hits the frame, thereby preventing full movement, noise and hinge bind. If my truck has this problem, then maybe all same model trucks have the same problem. Sent some photos to Sulastic and now waiting for them to figure out what to do. Have told them that they are not allowed to remove any material from the hinge support to relieve the fouling condition. Whatever happens, no doubt this involves another trip back to the factory and a full day wasted. Not a happy camper about this.

May everybody have a great day. Those with LEGGS and without.

 

Stan...I will have to send you the super secret combination for the safe containing Bob's Phoo carafe....we had to lock it up to keep a certain LEGGER (whom shall remain un-named) "Scotty" from contaminating the contents...I know you will guard the combination with your life


Holy Crap! You can't catch a break with these people can you?

Thanks..I am off to fire up the cement mixer and coat my LEGGS in a lovely, long lasting and durable finish

 

Bummer about the shackle issue. Nothing like parts that won't do what they're supposed to.

Your last line reminded me of that old adage about "what do you call a dog with no leggs??? Nothing... he won't come anyway.

Looks almost nice this morning, -3c with a decent frost on everything. No rain, however, I think our next precipitation might just be white. The rain the other night was approaching the ground with some trepidation. Visibly so, wasn't falling in a straight line at all.

Enjoy the day

 

Pind,

Enjoyed spending a couple days in your fair city on our way back home. Had been there multiple times, but usually passed on thru or bought fuel. Neat town. Larger than I expected. Very nice downtown area and interesting saving of some old buildings. Loved the three story log cabin. Scary. Salmon were running while there.

Bob

 

Finally had a chance to stop by and grab a cup. I've been buning the candle at both ends and the middle is smoking...

Glad to see there is mudd in the pot. By the way, I took the last stale donut...

 

Drop your pillows and grab your socks up and at em

Zach Taylor saw Lary's Leggs as a great weapon.^^^
How's the cement wear? Can it take a hit?

 

Haven't gained much in usable motion but lots of passive motion. Looks like a second surgury is going to be needed to free the tendons from the scar tissue.

 

Sherod, I hate to break it to you but there were no donuts today and Top is ticked because his hemorrhoid pillow has gone missing....

This cement mixer we keep talking about, is it the same one Hoss used to make his concrete bedliner?

Have a great Thursday all y'all and you 'uns.
