Are you looking for land or wanting to sell? I missed earlier discussion if there was.
My little econobox of a car really shined on the last tank, it was mainly 2 lane open road fairly flat driving along with some interstate that I kept at 75, ended up with 47mpg on the tank actual doing hand math not just the trip computer. Best I've ever done with it.
And once again I have rain. Sigh

I just want to cremated and have my ashes spread where I grew up.
I started mudding. One spot today I thought I was going to bury it, I may have been rear axle deep but the front end literally pulled me out. Thanks to having new tires on everything.
I went never got stuck, 5-10% skip, 40-50%good the rest fair to marginal.
The next field is wetter so I pulled out now it's raining. So it wasn't a all wrong decision.
Lucky for you a long holiday weekend is looming for you to have this sickness.
But seriously isn't that the worst? People sick a week/week and a half before a holiday. They then spread it and get to enjoy their time while you are sick and miss everything.
For me this theory always happens just before Christmas where people are too afraid to stay home from the neighborhood/company/friends/family parties. Then my Dec 26th thru Jan 2nd is full of sickness.
Should I feel bad Im headed to drink/golf this afternoon why the wife and kid have to move 3 tons of rock for landscaping? If they get 1 ton moved I will be impressed.
Nope. Just think back to the times that you've been doing difficult work while your wife was on her phone or talking to neighbors (probably about more ways to spend money).
We had our last high school awards ceremony earlier this week. It's amazing what my kids have accomplished in spite of who their father is. This one has a class rank of #1. I don't mean to be braggy but that is pretty good. She received a community scholarship from a local restaurant. Unfortunately for me, the scholarship did not include any free meals. When she met the restaurant's general manager, the only things my daughter could think to say were "Thank you" and "I like your tattoos".
I attended the awards ceremony but I did not meet the general manager. If I had, she probably would have lost the scholarship. She's quite a bit more impressive to talk to than her dad.
Actually, I prefer the serious answer. Congrats on having outstanding kiddos! I am CERTAIN it is a reflection of BOTH parents.
Hmmm. He didn't lead with that...but the kid sounds too impressive to be a Hawkeye.
