    The cost of everything these days. Looking into replacing the alternator and battery in my pickup. $375 for the cheaper alternator (rebuilt) $210 for the good battery.

    The good alternator on my last truck was only about $160. Smh.

    Anywhere up there that rebuilds them? We’ve got a place that does alternators and starters. Once they rebuild them they last at least twice as long as the factory version at half the cost or less.

    If there are, I've not seen or heard of any.

    For about three days in a row, earlier this week I had a horsefly stalking me every morning as I left for work. He actually only got close to me physically on the first day, but each morning he would swarm all over my truck as if he was trying to get at me while I was backing out of the drive and until I drove away. I haven't seen him in the evenings, but I assume he will bite me eventually because I need to mow and I will be an easy target at that point.

    My granddad used to knock them down, grab them while they were still groggy and jam a foot long stem of grass up their backside. They weren't so crafty then, more like an over loaded helicopter.

    A little dirt never hurt

    Glad everyone’s ok, like Randy said there are some plants or trees you should look into planting there now. Maybe @silvermouse or @First_Warrior know

    radioactive shrimp. I hate radioactive shrinp

    U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) alerted the FDA to the detection of Cesium-137 (Cs-137) contamination in shipping containers and frozen shrimp products processed in Indonesia at four U.S. ports, including Los Angeles, Houston, Miami, and Savannah, Georgia, according to a news release from the FDA.

    Ruining a hydraulic hose on your tractor, 2 hrs driving time and 5 hours total shot and the whole time the thought " That's a box and a half of Joya De Nicargua Antana Robusto's I could of had"

    Enjoyed a fire pit last night with Kim, the dogs, and a glass of sangria. The dogs snuggled under a blanket we shared and were pretty happy. I had sprinkled skunk repellant in the yard earlier in the day in preparation, nothing ruins a backyard experience then your partner getting freaked out by a skunk and going in early. All-in-all it was pretty good, until I stepped in a pile of dog doo and tracked it in the house.

    I had picked up the dog dirt before the fire pit, but the dirt don't stop around here.

    My next-door neighbor's dog is allowed to run free. Little football-sized grey Pomeranian mix. For years I didn't even realize he belonged to my next-door neighbor. He seems to be legally blind and roams in traffic. I'm surprised he hasn't been run over. Just recently he's decided he likes to poop in my back yard, or maybe I've been lucky so far and it's just taken me this long to be stepping in it while mowing.

    people who pick up their dog droppings, bag it, leave it on the lawn, proving they are conscientious good neighbors but self-centered.
