Got a replacement broadband gateway to try, I hope it makes a difference but the tech is telling me the problem is that I'm too far from the central office for a reliable connection.
No fiber available and few alternatives, you'd think I was living in the sticks and not Silicon Valley here.

I got up early in order to squeeze a few extras into my day, before some friends were to arrive at 2pm...
An email came a few days ago saying it was time to renew my plates; upon visiting the DMV's website I found my car needed to be emission-tested before the plates could be renewed. So today I had my car inspected, took about half an hour to get there and back. But the DMV website wouldn't let me renew, so I called to find out why. After a lengthy wait on hold, the nice lady said she could see the test results and that my car passed, but... it was then I realized that the original email was for the plates on the car I sold a year ago. Bingo! Light bulb went on, but not very brightly.
Then I mowed my lawn, and I welled up w/ pride; all my hard work and effort put forth to ignore and neglect my yard are finally paying off... this is no doubt the finest crop of weeds and nuisance plants I've ever had in the 40 years I've lived here. A pat on the shoulder is what I gave myself, I surely did.
That made me think of @TX98Z28 and how he loved his yard. I wonder how he and his new sled are doing.
The three friends all stayed home. But that's how it goes sometimes. I went and bought some bananas instead.
Hey Peter, Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, been going through a very rough time in my life. I'll be honest with you and everyone, I relapsed about a year or so ago and finally was able to get clean! Ohh did I fvck up but I'm finally clean!!!
Yards looking like Augusta National still here! The 1LE screams to 160 on the highway no problem, I don't recommend doing that though with traffic...
Hope you and everyone else is doing well. I've never met y'all in person but I swear y'all have treated me nicer than some people I personally have known most of my life that I thought were my friends.
If you quote me do the @TX98Z28 in your text or I won't be notified of your quote, Thanks.
Hang in there @TX98Z28 . I don't know what your substance of choice was, but remember always, meth will eat your soul, your friends, your family, your common sense, and all you hold dear. Stay the fock away from that ****.

Got one of my father's old lighters going. This one is a Continental. In the course of this little project, I've acquired a few others. So far I've worked on, cleaned, and given life to five of eight of these old timers.
Took my youngest male spawn to your Tennessee Tech and University of Tennessee, Chattanooga. He really enjoyed Tech the most due to the quality of the electrical engineering department. Grabbed a few shots too.
I started making biscuits based around a heavy whipping cream recipe. Halfway through I realized I only had half as much heavy cream as I needed, so I decided to use buttermilk to make up the difference. They turned out quite nice, very fluffy!

Opening up the garage sale one last time for the summer. Hopefully the large items, such as the elliptical, will be bought.

You’re gonna wash the paint off of that thing Jim
Don't listen to one brother. Wash long and hard!
Good news, the elliptical and the exercise bike sold! I no longer have to navigate around them in my shop.

This little feller has been working overtime storing walnuts for the winter.
I laughed way too hard at that
Finally got some highspeeds
Came home to my dog not wearing a collar and I accused him of running around naked all day.
Too hot to wear a collar.

You picked yourself back up after your relapse, that is the most important thing. Good on you, keep on trucking!
P.S. Feel free to mow my lawn whenever you like!

Never done meth ever! And I agree horrible stuff. I know a guy since I was 6 and he’s a meth addict, it’s destroyed his life!!!
I'm glad to hear you got clean, and welcome back.
How’s she expecting me to not steal this?
And this is not what I meant when I told her I wanted the Monster Mash!

The big tom should be along soon to straighten them out

A certain person from Tennessee made this and I felt it needed to be shared here.
