I love seeing pictures of your family you guys seen too be so close to one another.
That garter snake 🐍 was not having it. "Me get off the trail? Forget it! Nothing to see here, move along!"
 
@Rocks reef How's the wife recovering from the poison oak/ivy?
@kingranch2003 Brother, she went back to the dermatologist. Ended getting another Kenalog shot and this time a 15 day course of prednisone. It's getting better, but with the prednisone she's like a 5 year old on Benadryl! All hyped up and ready to go.
 
My big thing, is it have probably close to 1000 pounds of materials and tools in my truck. Having to carry different chargers, and batteries would just be incredibly cumbersome, and as right now, if my battery dies for my wire crimper, my impact or drill likely has a chargered battery within arms reach. That and my Milwaukee has treated me really well. The Red vs Yellow debate, in my mind, is more of a joke anyway. They both make good tools
I have no doubt Mike, I am not in the trades so I prefer Dewalt for my 'go to garage tools'. Only thing that is a downer is having to buy the tool and THEN the dang battery.

Prednisone does the same thing to me and it makes me want to eat everything in sight. Lol
 
happy Friday to you too. both kids lost their games last night so we finally have a free night. and its not raining.
Good morning Paul. Sorry about the losses, but sometimes a free night is what everyone needs! Bonus on the not raining part as well.

Oh yeah, she text me yesterday and asked if I could pick up Oreos on the way home. She rarely eats Oreos and almost finished the whole package last night! Anything I can do to help alleviate her being so miserable, I'm all for it.
