that wasn't an earthquake, it was our founding fathers, rolling over in their graves!!!


Obumble did an investigation on that earthquake, turns out it was on the "bush fault" something he was familiar with!!

$1,700 for a water heater seems a little outrageous in my book..

lol sounded like my week, I started taking Daughter to College in S.C (2 day after someone busted the windows out of her jeep that she was taking with her)was to leave Wed but with storm coming thought it better to stick it out with her down there. Well didn't do to bad, but on Drive back Home in Rental almost ran out of gas as 5 exits of Gas stations were shut down completely with no power .

Get home to no Power get some much needed sleep, wake Mon thinking no Power , no Problem I'll just go for a ride. Nope Bike Dead forgot to plug in the Solor charger , go to get in the Jeep Nope Dead as well lol get new battery for the V and call AAA for Jeep but did get my Ride in.

Oh did I mention with a 3day weekend we are driving back down to see her , hope all the stations are back on-line but won't be pushing it this time.

What doesn't kill us makes us stronger but sure make us Broke lol
