So I Drove

the F250 diesel about 9 hours across the small eastern mountains to attend great-grandson's birthday celebration. Rather flat interstate driving resulted in 26mpg with 19mpg average. The truck was only loaded with the Boss, 2 dogs and luggage. She doesn't like traveling with the dogs in the back seat of her car scratching the leather and spreading fur. Yet to be determined how well it does with pulling a 12,000 pound trailer.

I haven't been so disgusted with the federal government since the Carter years. Hopefully this republic can survive the stupidity without shedding blood. If not, so be it.

In A Funk

 Haven't had much interest in blogging lately. Our continued movement down the road to Marxism has put me in a funk. It's in the news every day. All that is needed is to connect the dots.

I've spent a little time messing with my old firearms, but mostly in the airconditioned armory. Been way too hot for this old man outside.

On the up side, the excavator did his thing earlier this week, followed by the fence guys. So now the parking space and truck are ready for the new/used 5th wheel camper. Several weeks ago I called the trailer place to see if there was any progress on a couple of requests I want completed before bringing it home. The woman on the phone was to check and then get back with me. So far nothing. I suppose I'll have to go there in person to get anything done. Will have to schedule it between the Boss's appointments.
