Well....not dem bears, but....
The truck is considered a total loss. Even our faithful diesel mechanic, who was optimistic after talking to Honey, said it's a no go after he saw it in person. This stinks. Finding a replacement is not going to be easy. I'm floating the idea of a temporary type rig for the next 1-2 years, instead of a "everything I want in a truck" rig right now. We do need a truck, we haul hay, firewood, trailers/boats, etc. But I'm not sure we need a diesel, etc. In another year, he should have his RN (one class down--yippee!!!) and our money will be different. We just don't want to take on a payment right now. I have Dave Ramsey's voice in my head about that.....bless his bald-headed little heart.
I"m going to try to consolidate the chickens over the next few days, to make the work less for Sugar Monkey. Plus, I think the birds are still wasting a lot of feed. I need to investigate options for feeding, my frugal soul just can't stand wasting money like that.
Finally melted most of the snow. We didn't flood really here, I guess it was gradual enough. Hope everyone is keeping warm and dry!
NFC I had to take a triple take of your new avatar. I couldn't figure out who that was - duh!
And I have no clue? Someone help me out......
