And then I had to fill the gas tank.

And you went

My son has a Tesla and my brother has something hybrid that sips gas and uses batteries too. Think I would rather walk.

Why?

We have 4 cars, all Prius. DW and DD2's are 2006s, mine is a 2009 that replaced a 2004 totaled when I was rear ended on the interstate onramp doing at least 30 MPH. DD1's is a 2010 given to her by DW's parents in January when they bought a 2018. My sister, who with my Dad are visiting from So. Cal has a 2005. DD1 has never driven another make/model of car, DD2 only in driver's ed.

We average 45 MPG in the winter with snow tires, over 50 MPG in the summer. BTW, MIL is 85, FIL is 93.

The only car I would buy to replace my Prius would be a 200+ mile/charge electric. At this point in time the only options are the "lucky to get one in 2 years due to the already paid a deposit waiting list" Tesla Model 3, the WOW you have a lot of money to burn Tesla Model S and the Chevy Bolt. Hoping for even more options when I need to replace my car.

You may now throw me out of the flock.

I keep wondering 'how' they were impregnated. Scary thought.

And how is the poor chicken supposed to "deliver" a 3 month old chick?? Talk about OUCH!

I don't see a video link anywhere SCG... can't see your profile to see if it's something you put there... Profile is private/blocked

Many dogs I've owned liked to "hide" stuff in/under the furniture. In all (my) cases, it was just hidden for safe keeping though many times it was so safe the dogs would forget about it

Sleep well, Misty.

True. If you have ash, it is straight grained and splits easily. Then there are harder woods like maple and oak. And THEN there are the gnarly twisted fibers in elm. I don't know how anyone could hand split that. Even with a splitter it is recommended to slab off the "sides" rather than trying to go through the middle.

I'd like to try Elm on it, I've split unbelievable gnarly knotty twisted apple roots with it that I'd had planned on taking the big stump and tossing on a bon fire, stuff burned hotter than coal. Only encountered Elm once, cut down a few standing dead trees thinking I'd done good, FIL stopped up and said he thought they were elm and couldn't remember why they were bad, either couldn't split or didn't burn...lol, I thought, stuff will burn like crazy had no bark standing dead long time seasoned well (what's elm anyway?) He was right on both counts. I beat them till I was whooped and then sawed down into them and used wedges and sledge and still worked to get them apart, looked straight grained but was wirey and twisted tight unbelievable... and it did burn, with water running out of the stove lol.
