    Rescued my wife (600 mile drive) after a kid in a speeding pickup sideswiped the front drivers side of her camper.

    Did the kid stop or hit and run?

    Both vehicles had to be towed, the officer was on the scene within a couple of minutes. Raked half the van, mashed the side mirror, front fender assembly,lights, bumper and messed up the steering. Not going to be a cheap fix. The officer said "I know exactly what happened" when she saw the tire tracks. $1,000 deductible, don't think it will raise our premiums. I took Rachel out for dinner but asked her to drive, for therapy, the accident shook her up pretty good.

    Thanks for your concern and for letting me whine. Rachel is fine, shaken and sad her lovely van has suffered another mishap.

    Maybe we should all send Rachael a 5'er to cheer her up.

    Would she prefer pipe tobacco? I'm glad to hear that she's OK.

    Bought a cabinet for our records, managed to fit all the various boxes and crates in this one cabinet near the turntable. Seems like record sides lasted longer when I was young. Whole mix of stuff from my Wife and my late SIL and my parents, some of them mine when I dumped my collection to go to CDs. I hear new vinyl is going for $50 now.

    Well believe it or not handsome I did this one too lol

  • JrflicksterJrflickster Posts: 4,121 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Lots of imperfections in the pieces but I've grown to like it unless those dumb kids spill something on it and it's next to impossible to clean.

    The leftover scrap stuff makes great kindling if that’s a no kiddin’ wood burner and not a pellet weenie. (BTW, it looks waay too close to those sheetrock walls and that curtain....)

    I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...

    Watching a few blue jays defend their territory from some encroaching grackles (I think). Very entertaining

    With a maul, hammer and wedges, or do you have a mechanical splitter?

  • silvermousesilvermouse Posts: 20,829 ✭✭✭✭✭

    splitting maul, a little tough on my joints so I don't do too much in a given day.

    landscaping mapping out the position of the raised bed gardens in back, time spent with shovels and pick mattocks, and then battening down the hatches and rolling up the outdoor blinds since it appears a storm is blowing in tonight. Scattered showers expected tonight.

    Took a page from @silvermouse’s book and split a heapin’ pile o’ kindling. Seems no matter how much I have, it only lasts the week...
