That is a good idea. Cheaper too. Although I cannot complain about the cost of the Crow Harness. I wouldn't bet on it being cheaper, considering the price of chain these days. One drawback I didn't consider was what happens if you drive into a flood. Would be funny to see the look on the rescue diver though. I have an extensive inventory of chain from many years ago. I use a lot of chain. |

Nothing like that. Mostly for hauling logs. We bring them down and block them in the yard. Then the splitter. I am a chain and binder (aka boomer) man. I hate the yellow straps and that dang blasted rachet.

It's pouring down a blowing rain, here. Doesn't look too promising for getting a smoke, today.

I made an appointment for Janet and I to check out a used car on Thursday in Akron. We'll see how it goes. Not a fan of car dealerships.

And just that quickly, the rain stopped and the sun came out. Let’s see if I can sneak in a bowl before it starts again.

We're only 300 miles apart. It's a Chamber of Commerce day here. We had a lot of wind and noise last night, but only a quarter inch of rain. |

Be careful Russ in this crazy world all is not what it seems! You're right, Brad. The Carfax report shows the car hasn't been in an accident and has been well maintained. I also researched out problems with this particular make, year, and model, too. |

Turned out to be a nice day here. The expected rain stayed to the south of us, so far. Topped out at 64, about normal for this time of year. But, a big change from yesterday's high of 82. We might still get a little rain tonight.

In these parts, northern NM and southern CO, the dealers have been decent, more honest than others I have delt with elsewhere, and helpful. That is competition for you. The dealers in Santa Fe and Pueblo CO like to draw people in from here. To keep the business they must be honest and fair. If I do not like what I hear, I walk away. I am sure you know what you are doing. So, the best of luck. |

Real bad day. Almost passed out twice while on my feet. Weak as heck. I can manage to feed myself and reach the bathroom. Chores are impossible. I cannot walk that far. Tomorrow is another day and I hope to feel better. No one said Chemo was easy. Onwards!

Tomorrow is another day. Take it easy, them warning signs are there for a reason. |

We'll hope you feel better, tomorrow. |

If we do not hear from him soon, it might be worth asking the local Sheriff to make a check on him. I do not know his full name. Does anyone else? |

I'm sure he's fine. It just struck me that we hadn't heard from him in a couple days.

Good. With Bob and Ed being alone, I worry when we do not hear from them regularly. |
