Those video cameras are the cat's ass. This one is solar powered, and you don't need a subscription for anything, it's motion activated and it sends the video right to your phone. I have another one that works the same, takes good video too, but you have to plug it in somewhere. I have it plugged into the outside outlet, but I told Zina they're like trucks. If I had known then, I would not have bought a Ring camera, or the one that plugs in. I would have gotten the solar powered one. Just like I shouldn't have bought the big green International that runs now or the GMC, the Mack was the right truck, but I had to buy 2 wrong trucks first.

But wait, there's more! Here's an equally exciting video of me closing the hood- _T8170T10252752D1_2026_03_11_12_44_39.mp4

oh

I've logged over 700 and never got in trouble for it, but when I started the speed limit was 55 everywhere, still 45 for trucks on some 2 lane roads. And you could only drive for 10 hours. Now you can go west and drive 75 mph. For 11 hours. I remember one time I left Blytheville Arkansas in the morning and pulled into the yard in Concord, Virginia that evening and the e-log said I had a minute left to drive. As soon as the back of the trailer cleared 460 I stopped and hit "off duty".

Yeah, that a steal!

That's pretty much what I told a potential buyer on marketplace. He said he had just started a cattle hauling business and his truck blew up and he needed a truck fast. I told him I had just sold the truck he needed, the Brigadier. I told him the big green International that runs now has been a show truck for years and while it would probably do whatever he wanted it to do, it was 60+years old and there were better and cheaper options out there. So I might have talked him out of a sale, I don't know.

I've never advertised it anywhere except Marketplace and here. I thought about an ad in Wheels of Time and Double Clutch but haven't done it.

I moved the big Mack truck over to where I used to park the GMC yesterday. That frees up some parking space when I want to wash something. I'll be glad when Joey picks up this big green International that runs now, that will free up space in the carport for my car. And today I decided that I should wash the big Mack truck. I moved it back over where it was so the hose would reach and discovered that birds had built a nest at the back of the hood. I looked in the doorway with a flashlight and there was no eggs in it so I removed it. If there had been eggs in it I would have put the truck back where it was and left it alone until bird's nest egg hatching season was over- because I'm just that kind of guy. So I gave it a wash job and parked it back over where the GMC was. It's facing east now, it was facing west when it was beside the carport. Maybe it'll get a little more protection from the sun there, it's hard on the paint sitting out in the sun.

Wow, you live pretty far from the ocean to haul submarines.

One of the first things I was told was "you never log over 450 miles a day". So I never did, even if I drove from Omaha to Tampa- 450 miles 😁

And how many people say the democrat party died with JFK? A lot, that's how many. I was a kid when he was assassinated but I've also heard a lot of people say that Democrats then were more conservative than Republicans of today.

I got a coupon in the mail for Great Clips, $11.99 for a haircut. I needed a haircut anyway, so when I went to pick up my prescriptions I went by the haircut getting place. The sign on the wall said "haircuts $20". It was right then that I remembered that I had left my coupon for the $11.99 haircut at home. $8 is $8 but I didn't come back home to get it, I just paid $20 and gave the nice haircut girl a $5 tip.

I'm going to do some tofu research. I've got to try it now, just to see what all the hub-bub is about.

Now that's a plan!

The price is reduced for daylight saving time, now only $11,000!

But, on a happier note I stopped by the hardware store and bought 4 bags of potting soil. 2 more than I needed, but I'm gonna keep it. It was $60 for the 4 bags, 2 cubic feet each. I topped off the beds that I had onions in last year and planted more onion sets, 36 in each bed, and topped off the 2 blue containers that I had tomatoes in. That only took a bag and a half. I figure if I waited I could go to the farmer's market and buy about a pickup truck load of onions for $60, but what's the fun in that? 🤣

Looks like my eye drops prescription is ready at the Walmart store, better go get it.
