My (2002 F-350 Ford Dually) truck has six tires…it’s served me well…I intend to be buried in it….. But it recently needed new tires…(really it needs all six new tires…but the tire guy said four would be fine)….. And the nice man proceeded…

It’ll be repaired soon….. The poor thing sighed and died…(my older daughter saw that the starter was cracked?)….. I miss my truck…I need it for so many things….. Suzanne-Annette came to the rescue though….. She let us borrow her truck…(it’s a four-door/dually too)….. …..it’s tough for a farm to function…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Diesel mechanics are hard to find….. Correctly spelling diesel is hard to do….. A good deisel mechanic is even harder to find (and spell)….. …..(“deisel”…is just not right)….. …..(deslexic much?)….. …..(dyslexia is also hard to spell)….. …..(where’s AutoCorrect when you need it?)….. We think we may have found a combination of the two (“good” and “diesel” and “mechanic”)…(and…that’s three)….. …..we haven’t met him in person yet…(he was recommended by our feed store guy—who…

The old girl belongs to my older daughter now… It’s a cool old truck… It’s a 1990 Ford F-Series/F-250…with a 7.3 Litre/Diesel/V-8 engine… ***The Coolness Of My Daughter’s Truck Explained*** I drove it for years… Both my children’s baby seats were strapped in the back… The truck is either a classic by now, or approaching it quickly… It has a standard transmission with a clutch pedal push that’s a mile long… Shifting and stomping is like a chiropractic-adjustment for your…

I hadn’t been that shaky tired for a long time.  My truck even sighed and died (temporarily) at one of the Hunts.  I had to be jumped and then get two new batteries.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My stained glass panel sold at the Silent Auction during the Ball, as well as my silly painting.  So I made a little bit of money for our Hunt. I’ve finally gotten the photos on the computer, so here…

Just when I was worried I was running out of things to journal about……………… #Life happens.       This would all go under the residual-Hurricane-Irma-effect.  Because it’s hard to electrify a fence when it’s mostly under-water. But where to start………?  All the goats in the front yard?             Nope…………….. This afternoon my daughter was trying to get ready for a really nice evening with her boyfriend at the orchestra.  I was doing the monthly…
