    I don’t know about the Prius but I do see them on the road in all kinds of weather. They are too low to the ground for me.
    The model Y was AWD and decent in the snow. I took it most days unless it was really nasty and then I drove my truck.

    I am trying to finish an area of the yard, had 8 yards of black dirt delivered. I raked the area I am spreading the dirt on then started spreading dirt with a heavy duty crabgrass rake. I am raking dirt down hill and my back is pissed off. I even broke up the raking time to be mindful and walk and use different muscles. Woke up and had to walk to the living room barefoot to my house crocks and oh my god every step was painful. I took a muscle relaxer and stood on the vibration plate for 10 minutes, used a heating pad, then bio freeze still that dull pain that does not go away.

    Getting old when yard work kicks your ass, I hate it.

    So my Dr. Appointment went OK. I have to do some test gathering at home and then get blood work done, If not bacterial or viral they are looking at a tick issue. I asked about which tick issue and was told it's one with several nasty things but we won't worry about that until the test results come back.

    Three hours mowing yesterday followed by flower planting and landscape work today.

    Im gonna need a sedative this evening. Three fingers of bourbon over ice and 800 MG of ibuprofen should do it.

    Some beech the grand dog has been bellering in the middle of the night and I have just been yelling shut up Larry, well it involves a suet cake a night going away so time for evening operations. I am thinking 20 gauge might do the trick on a raccoon.

    Price of lumber is disgusting I want to do the interior walls of the fish house in pine tongue and groove Home Depot prices over $1200 for 275 square feet luckily I found a guy who does his own milling will bring the price down to $750, still expensive but I want it a certain way.

    ALERT
    so my "typing" seems way worse than normal as of late. Which actual could have been exacerbated by being ill. No. No the tablet has been very busy making assumptions and rewriting. Many I catch for I do occasionally check before posting. Though I type, check then hit the space bar and continue. The second I hit the space bar the tablet occasionally decides , that's not the word she wanted and does it's own thing.. I wish I could figure out how to turn that feature off, but (also) caught it, alas it alludes me.
    So,God bless you for whatever deciphering abilities and patience you have in reading before I have time to go back and catch some of it.

    I hate the autocorrect/complete features on most devices. I would rather my spelling and grammar mistakes remain, confirmation that I am a human sending the communication and not some stupid spambot.

    Today was the first time in my life I’ve put over $100 in my gas tank in one fill. Even with my last truck with dual tanks. UGH!

    I agree. Heard that the premium lumber is going to Japan who pay top dollar. Anyone hear of this? Sota, it was about 50 years ago that I paid 84 cents for a 2x4x96 and gas was 25-35 cents a gallon, depending on where you buy it.

    Going to put the pontoon in on Friday hopefully the swallows have already built their nests. Last 2 summers the stupid swallows have built a nest under the deck. Trying to enjoy a boat ride and you have panicked swallows circling the boat. I have been lucky I have not got crap bombed by them my wife has gotten crapped on 3 or 4 times.

    How in the hell it is 2026 and the Double Tree by Hilton Biloxi does not have a single hotel room that has a refrigerator in it? This will not look good on the final report.
