    Trying to keep the house quiet this morning so the wife can sleep in when a cat walks past on the patio, I am sure the son's hounds bellers woke the neighbors too.

    Got the pontoon put in the shed at the farm, not without complications. Cut the sidewall on a tire that was less than 2 weeks old.

    This isn't a rant..happenings this a.m...
    So I wake up in pc room grandpups in bed with me, to yelling and barking. I get up go down stairs to see hubby's truck backing out of drive. I check clock and its 1a.m.. I figure he had some celestial thing he was driving out to see. I let the boys out, whom are going wild and go out with them. Hhmmm it's cloudy. Oh crap whats wrong with son is all I could think. I go out back, call boys and return to hubby pulling back in.
    He hops out and says WTH! I let boys out and they went nuts charging to road. Thats when I see a flash light. I zapped scout and finally got AJ to stop yrds from the road. By then the light was running down the hill.
    Mind you guys we are on a steep hill , NO street lights for miles. Dark misting night, 1a.m.. Hubby is thinking who's casing the place and is there a car up or down road waiting? He caught up to them at the end of our lower property. A woman with a flash light. He drove by slowly ,turned around and came home. No cars around .
    Seriously? 1a. m. walk with packs of coyote, bear, ppl that allow dogs to run at night and God knows who is out driving these roads.
    She's was lucky we control our dogs. If this is her route, I bet it changes...lol
    Got back to sleep so the packed up coyotes could wake me at 3 and howl yip and bark until 4 out side the pc window. Just a quiet country evening..hahaha

    Stupid employees without an idiot chip who thinks they can say sexually inappropriate things repeatedly and then be shocked when told they are suspended. How about fired.

    Last night I am out in the garage and I open the side door and an Amazon delivery guy in in my yard, not on the sidewalk but on the grass. I startled the little fella. I get the package in the house and I tell the wife smell the box, it smells like ax body spray or something like that. I guess it is better than smelling like azz but why don't you people try soap and water. And stay off my lawn.

    So as I've mention we've been looking at new SUV or used in warrenty. Hubby has had daughter and I test driving. Mainly daughter because I refuse to drive off lot. Listen I just know my luck and I'm driving an 18 yr old anolog car. Dealerships are in city type driving, I'm not stupid...lol
    It's been months, he hasn't the time and I don't care. Well daughter bought her Rubicon 2 yrs ago. Summer fun car. Has her Mazda (?)
    She drove the new Palasade so many times she walked in and drove home a new one. Now has 3 cars ...lol
    Rant
    She asked if I bring in my parents to buy one as well what deal can you give us for driving both off the lot? 200.00 a piece
    REALLY? How often do they get to sell 2 cars at the same time in that price range?
    I feel like grabbing the Tellaride right across the street.

    I had one in a big box truck literally do a turn around across my front yard instead of backing out OR backing into the actual TURNAROUND. Well he hooked our only above ground line, the phone line and drove away with it. Took out a hundred ft of line before it broke off the mid tree support. Took out our phone and internet which is our TV as well.
    Ask me how much hell I rained down on company I bought from then delivery company they hired. I took pics of everything tire ruts the line.
    Phone repair said ya you'd be suriped how often this happens in the country

    My driveway is very scary to delivery drivers, one side is a retaining wall, go off there you are dropping 6'. Never occurs to the dumb bastards to park in the cul de sac and walk the package the 30 yards to the house.
