Well, the die is cast. 15 years, 1 month and 2 days ago, I peeked over the back of a sofa at a boring party and found a tall, dark-haired guy squinting to read a magazine in low light and drinking out

So yesterday I looked out my window at my wildlife feeders and found a gorgeous pair of mallards grazing. I expect on occasion to find chickens, racing pigeons, and yes even peacocks.. but not mallards. No idea where they've come from and why they are here. This morning they were back again. They can fly so I do not think they are someone's pet. Bit concerned for their safety as it is not uncommon to have coyote or bears.

You certainly have a LOT to be proud of there, @JoBri!!  Thanks to you and your family for supporting all of us here back home.

Thank you! I couldn't be prouder of my wife from the Philippines or my son. She wanted to join the military, her choice, and started out as enlisted in Services in the Air National Guard.  Now she is a nurse and officer on active duty in the US Air Force, and highly respected by her superiors.  My son, almost 11 years old, wants to be a pilot in the Air Force. He has wanted to go to the Air Force Academy since age 2. I was in the Army, at war, in Southwest Asia. So we are a miltary family in Germany, and I could not have hoped for more to be proud of when I married my wife. She wants to stay in the Air Force until retirement. She will be promoted to Captain in December

Car business post.

 

I just traded in my 2020 Limited 4wd 17K miles  for a 2021 limited 4WD with 3 miles Tundra with all terrain tires. 

 

Used truck prices are so stupid right now I got what I paid for it new. With flat cost pricing for employees I got the new truck that cost 1800 more for the same price as my old truck. Swapped keys.

Are you having trouble keeping enough inventory of new, in demand, vehicles?

It's brutal. We normally have 250-300 new. We got around 60 mostly sedans.
