Goodluck getting your 100K dollar F150 inluding tax. First there are not enough computer chips for a full inventory for the F150 or a Tesla or even the budget cars. Maybe in 2 years this won't be an issue.

For 20 years I used inverters during hurricane power outages for my car to power the house. Its about time Ford wised up by having an AC current generator option.

I'm not buying a new vehicle, and definitely not a pickup truck -- I don't need more than the Subaru Forester (2012) I already drive. I may need a new one sooner than I plan if people keep trying to run into my car, like three tried to do today.

Hand and arm therapy starts tomorrow.

I did like the generator aspect of the new vehicles - plug a few things in your house in to keep them running. But I could afford a new Honda high-capacity generator more easily. That Ford truck costs more than I owe on my house right now.

Off to Wyoming tomorrow for a Q***t Show in Green River. Back home Saturday, but I'll check in whilst I'm gone.

Oh, all right, it's not a Q***t Show. I'm riding bull in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys finals in Laramie.

The Gas line contractors tore up the road and front yard yesterday to replace 60 year old pipes. I should replace the red mulch today and fix drainage issues.
My back is better after my brain lit up like a Christmas tree after I leaned backwards as far as possible. What a trip.

11 miles in 45 minutes on I-80 today! Road destruction ended about 2 miles before our exit and then became a single lane with a git-off at our exit.

Pardon my unspoken descriptions of Wyoming's highway engineers, there morals, sexual tastes, favorite foods, personal hygiene habits, parentage, and hope that they had no descendants.

Way down south has tourist season, heat stroke season, flood season, hurricane season, cool season and flood season.
Out west has fire season and road destruction season.
In the east there is winter and road construction.
Waaaay up north they have ice road construction and pavement season.

Mom, how do I go about getting new grips about a half inch longer for revolvers of the Colt 1873 Single Action Army style? I'd really rather not pay a hundred bucks a set for them! The frame width is 7/16 inches.

Never mind, Mom. I got a grip on the grip problem. Expensive, but now I've finally gotten a grip!

Now to sort out the problem of what keys got with what padlocks around this place. I'm giving a bunch away, so if you want to lock up the liquor cabinet from Stilly just let me know.

It's just mere money, Mom. Remember what Thomas More said: "They much more admire and detest the folly of those who, when they see a rich man, though they neither owe him anything, nor are in any sort dependent on his bounty, yet, merely because he is rich, give him little less than divine honours, even though they know him to be so covetous and base-minded that, notwithstanding all his wealth, he will not part with one farthing of it to them as long as he lives!”

So, spend it and get it over with and eliminate covetousness from your life. That's my sage advice, Mom.

I had a bottle of 30 year old single malt Scotch that I bought fresh for my Irish mother in law visits. A real Shicker as a goy piece of work.

I found that declaring an income of half a million for a credit card carries more debt forgiveness.

Single malt? Irish or Scotch? I have both, both well aged and excellent brands. I also have a bottle of Wyoming Whiskey, a bottle of rye and a bottle of bourbon from Butte, a bottle of gin from Moab, UT, and about half a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle's Reserve (NOT the Family Reserve) bourbon. This is also 750ml of Lamb's 151 proof navy rum, plus odds and ends such as poteen.

In 2007 Abisinthe became legal again in the US. It tastes like licorice. However I see no reason one would want to block their GABA receptors.
The plastic tub I was storing it in became upended somehow, mixing the opened abisinthe with blue Hypnotique and Grey Goose. The colors did not mix evenly and reminded me of a tropical beach going from deep blue to light green when put in a clear bottle. When shaken with a tincture of homeopathic magic mushrooms there was an additional psilocybin 'blueing' to an indescribable deep turquoise that would lighten as one watched the liquor grow still.
It was all alcohol based so I don't understand how it behaved like a living azeotrope. Its gone now but a color changing liquor would sell well today.

Ebbie lives in Juneau and is good friend of KT Fanning. Our weather wasn't bad at all today except that only about six drops of water fell from the sky. We had lunch and dinner on the veranda and it was quite pleasant. It would have been nicer if I hadn't lost my keys to the PO box and the house.
