I've been busy today.
House is clean, kids are sleeping soundly, waiting for Ty to get home so we adults can eat these burritos I'm waiting to assemble.

The boy's toy.
His pride and joy.
He said it's 500 lbs heavier on the steel axle, or something like that.

Today I had to sit the skills test (driving part) of my class B commercial driver's license so I can actually use this big, honking RV that has been sitting in my driveway for 2 months. I had already passed the written test.

In Texas if your vehicle (RV) has a gross vehicle weight rating of over 26K pounds you need a non commercial class B license to be able to drive it on the road. The new RV that I bought back in April has a GVWR of 33K pounds so I knew that I needed to get an endorsement to my driving license. Life kinda got in the way but I eventually got round to it. I had heard so many horror stories about getting a CDL that I was really nervous about it but it was simple, straightforward and pretty easy. The testers were very professional and gave clear, simple instructions. The result was that after 30 minutes of driving around on all kinds of roads, I PASSED. YEH ME!!!! The open road is now my highway to America. It sounds poetic but I've been driving RVs for 12 years so it's nothing new … only bigger and better … and with this rig, easier.

Anyway, I'm sitting here with a celebratory Scotch (or two), feeling pretty good about myself.

Friend of mines Dad had a Holmes 500 on a 63 Chevy and a Holmes 750 on a 59 Mack. They were red but not near as many lights. :yum:

He keeps it pristine at all times, better than he does his Camaro.
Other tow operators that are local are impressed with his lights lol

The wife has decided to go to CT and pick up our grandson for the summer.

He was gonna fly but now they want to bring a friend,,,; and a cat so.....
I'm up early for an oil change and charging her AC.

For years, I have been looking forward to when it is just the two of us. And we can get back to romancing and enjoying each other again. It's why we boat the new sailboat.

I guess this is what the joke means about watching God laugh. If ever you want to make him laugh,,,; tell him your plans.

well., maybe next year.

Coated with POR 15 sealer inside of my gas tank. Hope it works. Trying to route the fuel lines so they won't rub on anything.

Franc, with you it is a sailboat, with me it's a RV. Every time I plan a trip, my wife finds something that has to be attended to before we go or something that really has to be done NOW!!! It was really her idea in the first place, although I wasn't averse to it, but I bought it with the understanding that we would really use it.

God may not be laughing but he is surely snickering in the background. :yum:

Two mile walk? Hell.....I just walked to the garage and my legs nearly gave out on me.

We had friends over for a bbq last night so I had him help hook up my scooter lift to the truck so I can get out this week.

So I was originally supposed to be at a scout camp this weekend but surgery changed that. So my lovely wife has been running like crazy carting kids around everywhere. Two were at the scout camp an hour away. She drove them out friday then drove back out yesterday as our oldest son took a spill on his bike and possibly fractured his elbow. She had to drive out, get him, bring him to the hospital for xrays, wait for a half cast to be put on, then come home. Today she's back out there to pick up our foster daughter.

Trimming trails in our woods. Multiflora and other crap grow fast into the trails and make it painful to pass through them. Thorns hurt. Hot sweaty job but ya feel good once it's done. One done. Shower time. Others will wait till another day.

I can relate. we cut trails on our Ozark place, 80 acres of woods and a stream. Week-end after weekend of sweaty nasty work. Snakes, mosquitos and chiggers so big they come with chain saws. Haven't been there for two years now so I imagine they are all but gone.

Once you try to tame the woods you can never stop,,,;Mother nature gets revenge.

Getting over the shocking events from the past 24 hrs.

Last evening around 6pm, Ty took Maddie the 3 year old for a walk up the clearing beyond the pond.
Wild blackberries galore!
They picked a bunch of them.
Now I know why the deer have been coming down.
We had a quiet evening, I didn't cook, we ordered pizza.

This morning I walked out to the porch and spied one little one in a trap with a sibling walking around it.
I called Ty and asked what I should do.
He's coming home at noon to release it over at the park.

Just got passed by a turtle. Brought the truck in for a new fan belt and pulley. Dropped it off. Unloaded the scooter and went cruising around for a couple hours. Bought a new pressure washer. Looked at some new f150s. Now at an appointment. Extremely sore but powering through. Last scout meeting tonight. Doing a big bbq.

Ty put Aqua Shade in the pond and then an algae killer.
He says "There mom, now in a few weeks you can swim in it!"
Nooooo thank you!
I don't want all those fish nibbling on me.

Been busy all morning.
Keeping the kids occupied.

Finished a day of questioning by 3 lawyers representing my insurance and the two others involved in my accident. Mentally exhausted but did alright.

Took out a couple of large Oak stumps for a neighbor . About the time I got done ,he brings out this old Echo weed eater . Said it split the purge bulb ,so he changed it ,now it won’t run . I dearly hate working on old weed eaters ,especially after an attempted fix ... needs a carb kit ,so I ordered a chinese carb off of Amazon . They always work ,and in this case are cheaper than the kit . So, now I’m off to the shop to gring 2 36”chains . Stumping with a long bar basically guarantees that you’ll cut more rock and dirt than wood .:thumbup:
