Howdy all!

It's that time again where two people argue to the death over their own interpretations of liberty... Happy election day!

Been quiet-ish here. My brother, his wife and their dogs had to evacuate their house due to a forest/brush fire. They live here in SoCal now, out in the Temecula area, marginally more accurate, east of Temecula. Their house is ok, and they are home now.

Rather busy... and multi-tasking during a meeting!

Good afternoon Andy. Sorry to hear about the fire but glad everyone is home and accounted for and all is ok.
Tee, sorry for the loss of your FIL, our prayers for all you guys.
82 here today and I'm happy about it, was so nice yesterday to have the warm after that cold. I'm like Tommy, I have no cold tolerance and I need to be one of those snowbirds. I will also have to agree on the areas down there and up around PCB, Pensacola and such that I visit. It's changed drastically in the last 30 years. Used to you could drive along the road and see the beach and now you can't see it at all just concrete and high rises. Long gone are the small motels and all you had to do was find a "vacancy" sign and it was reasonably priced. I miss the Penscaola/PCB area the way it used to be. At least over at St. Joe and Cape San Blas where we just came from, it's still houses only on the beach but even close to the state park, no more pristine unadulterated areas, just developments. And, instead of umbrellas and chairs on the beach there's mega tents and people leave their trash and don't fill in their holes. I could rant all day on that mess.
We took the weekend off and headed for the hills to see the fall colors like we normally do, got home Sunday about 9pm. Of course after trailing and such, I didn't do much yesterday and just kept to myself. Been crazy busy at the office today.

WHAT A DAY---WENT TO MUSKOGEE FOR DR APPT THEN GOT OIL CHANGED IN THE TOMATO. THEN THE CLUTCH STARTED SLIPPING AND I TRIED TO CRIPPLE IT BACK THE SHOP IN FT GIB. DIDN'T MAKE IT. HAD TO BE HAULED THE REST OF THE WAY.
EXPLETIVE DELETED!!! THIS NOT BE CHEAP---

Could be low fluid in the slave cylinder. I've had a couple of them replaced in my 90.



Spent most of the day at the nursery while Sue spent most of her day in the doctor's offices. Took care of a half dozen customers while I waited for the mechanic to show up and work on the skidsteer. He didn't show up till 03:00 and I was at the nursery at 10:30 AM. Like I was telling my friend Eddie, "I don't want to work I just want to bang on the drum all day." I shouldn't complain, emphasis on the word "shouldn't". I'm working the least I've worked in my lifetime. Striving to be 97% work free. (Chores don't count)
