    I always carried a small repair kit under the seat because I didn't ride 8 miles up the trail to walk back down.
    A little dirt never hurt

    The basswoods (or, Lindens, as they're also known in other parts) are in bloom right now and their perfume is filling the air outside for miles.  My nostrils thank you, Lindens, for giving me something I love.

    See what I was talking about, @peter4jc?  Small blessings every day......  😇

    Just cut $30 a month off my cable bill because I called and said I was going to switch to another company.

    Same here... upgraded my internet to a fiber-optic at a better speed, dropped two movie channels that sucked anyway, and brought it down from $155 to $120 for internet and TV.  A month ago the promotion I was on for two years expired and they jacked it up to $230.  Like you, I'm glad I called, and frankly, I'm surprised they came down as far as they did.

    Yeah it never occurred to me to give it a shot since I already had the two year promotion rate. I read something that said if you call and threaten to switch to something else, then the company I use will try and match. I figured what the heck and called, now my internet is twice as fast (which I'm not going to notice since it's already meant for like 4 people to be using it at the same time), and the bill before taxes and fees is $110 instead of $140 per month for the next 2 years.

    Lazy sunny Sunday afternoons when the grass has been cut and the laundry's done.
    I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...

    I love how when you call a company and all their representatives are busy, they give you the option of a call-back rather than sit on hold for eons.

    And you need to pay close attention because their phone tree options have recently changed... 5 years ago when they made the recording.

    A rainy day the day AFTER I get the grass cut at work.

    When the sun goes down and the bats come out, flying around eating all those damned mosquitoes.  Happy hunting

    And if this is an emergency, hang up and dial 911.  They used to let the stupidest people just die while waiting on hold with their dentist after getting shot....

    A good moonlight paddle with a long, bright shooting star flying across the sky as we paddle back to the boat launch ramp.

    vine ripened tomatoes. Just harvested a Black Krim and had a over-the-top-wonderful tomato sandwich.
    This the first year that we have no tomato plants. Tradition here is sliced tomatoes, salt, peper on good bread with Dukes mayonnaise. I am missing it so much.....
