I’ll bet watching the Movie Gone With the Wind brought back find memories of your adolescent years Ray.

Now Randy, that's just plain mean. After all, Ray doesn't tease you about witnessing first hand the Hatfields and McCoys feud.

He probably didn’t know about it! Thanks Tom.

Well, we want to educate folks as well Randy.

On a happier note, this

Before Christmas the battery on our 2010 Escape gave up the Ghost. It wouldn’t even register bad on a battery tester. So, being near to Christmas and having another vehicle we just kinda ignored it. But today after getting our checks I went to the parts store for another battery, and I was expecting to pay another $165.00 just like the last one. Well when Ronnie looked it up the battery was only 2 years and 2 months old. Then he told me it was under the full replacement time period! Talk about being happy.

But before that, on our way to Patty’s hair appointment a passing vehicle tossed a rock that cracked the windshield of our 3 month old SUV, Talk about being upset. Well when we got home I called our local body shop and Leo said to being it on out and that it would take about an hour and a half to fix it (had to let the glass warm up as it was about 42 by this time. An hour and 15 minutes later he called that it was done. Total cost $40.00. We were happy.

Then later a custom knife maker I ordered from about 4 months ago emailed me and said he completely hosed my order. BUT then went on to say if I was willing he would send me a different knife worth twice as much for the same price! It’s actually the one I wanted, but just couldn’t justify that amount at that time.

All I all, it hasn’t been a bad year so far.

Randy, you could fall in a barrel of .... manure and come out smelling like a rose. Congrats on the good luck.

Good morning Yard. I had dental surgery yesterday to remove a cracked tooth, and prep work on the other side for a dental implant. Feeling pretty good overall, just a little bleeding. Soft foods for a couple of days;' scrambled eggs, French toast, and shrimp salad for starters. The General won't let me starve. ..........................

Sorry to hear about the surgery Tom, but glad you’re able to get them fixed. I don’t know about falling in the bucket thing, but it sure does help.

And good morning Dogs!

Good afternoon, Yard.

Good to hear your dental problems are taken care of, Tom. Stay away from beef ribs.

Sure I know about it. It was a famous feud in the Scottish highlands when Mel Gibson lined there.

Oh, OK Ray.
