I am walking William. Feels like a Charlie horse.

Fern, I'm glad things are getting better.

We get snakes at my front door quite often. Last was a 3' rat snake. We just let them be.

Worst was about 18" long and when I opened the door if fell and wrapped around my wrist. I don't really have a fear of snakes but I might have screamed like a little girl and yeeted that sucker across the carport. I still have no idea what kind of snake it was.

Another time I was sitting in the house and heard my wife yelling my name pretty excitedly. I ran out on the steps in my socks and she points saying, "there is a snake on the steps"!!! I look down and there is a decent size Water Moccasin about 20" from my feet. Fought that sucker for a bit with a broom in one hand and pistol in the other. Was going to get rid of it permanently but he got away.

I got to do some racing the last 2 weekends finally. Was still in fourth round 2 weeks ago when rain got us, split and quit. Last weekend racing for 5K both days got popped 5th round at 9 cars both days. Made my entry back but that's all. Plan is to start clearing the 7 acres covered in trees tomorrow. Hope everyone has a good weekend

.

Happy Saturday y'all. Hope everyone's weekend has gone well and keeping the snakes at bay. LOL. Ordered a few parts for the race car this weekend. Did a little bit of cleaning to it as well. Work has lightened up enough that I can take some time for myself finally. Having a little fun Friday kinda-sorta derailed me a bit for the weekend. Went surfing 1st thing Friday am, bailed out of a wave as I've done hundreds of times before and took a direct hit from the face of the wave in my left ear. Got it looked at as a precaution and doc says I put a hole in my eardrum. That's a first for me and hurts like a sumbich. Should heal up, but damm it's uncomfortable right now. Adding insult to my weekend, my primary truck is giving me the "service DEF, see dealer" message. Supposedly something to do with DEF injector. Easy enough, you'd think. Removed it today to clean it up and one of the two bolts broke off. Fun times. Cleaned and reinstalled. Seems good and tight with one bolt,,, hopefully. Will drive tomorrow and see if it clears the message. If not, new one goes in. Started working on replacing the steering rack in my #2 truck this evening. Damned ear talked me into cutting that short and going inside for the night. May finish it tomorrow after church. Life is still good and looking better for running a hotrod before the end of the year.

Have a great weekend...

William I hope that ear heals quickly.

No snakes today just a bunch of limb trimming, chipping and shredding.

Think I did something to my ham string muscle. I know it still hurts like he!! when I walk. Anyway life goes on. Rebuilt both front calipers as they were sticking. Probably pick up a tenth. Anyway finished that and mowed the back yard today. A big limb fell out of one of my trees out front, I at least looked at it. Good race going on at Farmington today and tomorrow. Everyone stay safe.
