Poor Ms Adee is lost in the wilderness of the other posts. We’ll have to catch her up tomorrow.

Busy day here on the Hill. We got just enough rain and I guess looking for more the remainder of the week. My Cats aren’t too happy! Super Dave’s Barn sure looks nice and he probably can’t wait to fill it up. squawkbox says: August 18, 2022 at 5:26 pm Tall fat guys like me by necessity avoid Fiat spider, MC… Read more »
GJT, @ 8:58 I’m pretty sure that I’m going to have to run an extension cord out to the motor on the roll-up door so my wife can park her Tahoe in the second section of the Pole Barn using the fancy remote. If you’ve been paying attention you know that I’ve been running my Big Azz fan on a… Read more »
“You only want to mount it on the clear glass. So if you have the roofline tint that goes on the top of the windshield, or dotted tint near the rearview mirror, you don’t want to put it on top of that,” says Transurban spokesman Mike McGurk.
My wife never understands the whole you gotta do this before you can do that, but you gotta do the other before any of it. To her, you’re s’posed to just do it!
How many here knew that the black dots were called frit?
I did know they were called that either. My wife’s Hyundai Sonata has that, I put the EZ Tag about halfway into it otherwise it would have been in the passenger compartment. Works just fine.
GJT the first thing I need to do is pressure the damn floor! It got muddy with all the red clay over spray from the numerous rains before the sides got installed. I’ve been meaning to tackle that job but I really wanted to get the wiring done and besides the floor will have dirt tracked in until I get… Read more »
Aha! Therein lies the inevitable result of slipping into “having EXPECTATIONS”
We can ALL have Hopes, Wishes, Dreams, Goals, Desires, Aspirations – BUT the INSTANT we ‘slip’ into EXPECTATIONS that freshly paved sidewalk that dead ends into DISAPPOINTMENT comes into play.
Texpat, I will admit that when I first saw your comment, I was confused – unsure of what you meant. It’s been so long since there was anything NOT posted in the Open Comments, it took another sip of coffee, and re-reading what it said – and asking my trusty side-kick… because I’m not sure that there’s been anything else… Read more »
Any of you guys have an EZ Tag on your windshield? I do and I live in Alabamy BUTT I do make lots of trips to my adopted State. Wife ahs one but that goes without saying. Oh and what he said; I have had but never had to handle details of getting one. FWIW; Florida has the right idea,… Read more »

When we got the new Highlander, and I had to place the sticker – I put it as close to the rearview mirror (referring to the diagram) as I could without it being under/over the spots… And it seems to work fine.

Squawk. If I follow the tag placement instructions, the tag will be in the frit area. The frit is the area of black dots which is a sunblock for the area not covered by sun visors. Those dots are actually enamel baked into the glass. Wondering if the frit will interfere with transponder operation. I called the toll road authority… Read more »
I’ve even got a toll tag, and I live in San Saba. It works on all the toll roads in Texas and Oklahoma, and even at DFW airport. If I can do that, anyone can.

We had pintos and brats – Tedtam, you know – the jar that didn’t seal 😉 Love the flavor – but won’t use brats next time – some sturdy sausage like smoked German sausage (Chappel Hill is a favorite of ours but…) would do better but the seasonings were perfect – if Ranch Style beans were bean soup with brats… Read more »

Hi Gang, as usual I missed a lot but I got a lot done today. The guys from Hartford showed up about 9 AM to install my roll up doors and were finished by 2 PM. I was running the wire to the fan and then the overhead door but I couldn’t work on the front of the building because… Read more »

I started chemo again yesterday. Getting accustomed to the chemo induced fatigue is going to take some getting used to again. I took a two hour nap today and I feel like I could go to bed now.

I have seven quarts of tomato base Italian sausage soup in the canner. Fred is chock full of zucchini, with a small cooler full of more zukes on standby. I have a big bowl of bell peppers also waiting. Hubby gets to eat the soup overage for dinner tonight. It is delicious, if I say so myself. Now,… Read more »
My Ford LTD would roll over and put all four wheels in the air if you even spit at it. It could not handle any kind of high water. Hubby had to rescue me and two babies.
If it looks like open comments it probably is open comments. AND if i post it you can pretty much bet it is open comments or I am testing something on the site.
MG Midgets still command popularity and price on the market. I wish I had the one MHarper sold. The problem with an MG and me today is I am too tall for it and too fat.

Today was a test to see if the readership here could figure out 3 front page posts.

“OPEN COMMENTS”
It’s simply not that hard.
I may or may not remember or have time to tell people when I’m in a hurry. I already spend too much time online.
I’ve even got a toll tag, and I live in San Saba. It works on all the toll roads in Texas and Oklahoma, and even at DFW airport. If I can do that, anyone can.

There are 18 articles dated today on the front page of PJ Media.

Soft rain here for about a half hour so far. We’ll take it.
