Got the gym done, showered and shaved, went and got a haircut and a new flag/flagpole for the garage... while I was in the exchange I saw Russell's Reserve 6 yr rye for $34.46 so I grabbed that, too.

Got home, wife says we need propane. Flag pole I needed was a 1" diameter. One I got was 3/4" but it was $11 so... meh.

Went to HD got the right size flag/flagpole and propane. Also have a 3'x5' Don't Tread On Me flag arriving today. That's going on the pole for awhile... nice to switch it out with Old Glory here and there. One I bought at the exchange is same size, so I'll keep it to put it in the rotation.

Old one needs to be burned. When my neighbor fires up his burn barrel I'll bring it over.

Some of my neighbors have them. But then I'd have to put it up and take it down. This one I can leave 24/7 because there's a light on my garage frame, right where I put it. If you leave a flag flying at night, it has to be lit up. Where I have it works...

I have a solar powered light shining down on top of my telescoping pole... they're cheaper than you think... 😟

You know the flag rules! I did the same thing in Cali. Added bonus: it offended the commies 24/7.

You have colors at 8am every day. Ship or shore... flag goes up while the anthem is played. Evening colors varies by day. At sunset you take the colors down while Taps is played.

Visited the snowblower. Both fired up just fine (Husqvarna both pull and electric start, Craftsman just pull start). Seemed like everything worked just fine. Bought the Husqvarna, it's bigger, almost beastly. Might be overkill but it's more power and bigger cut (insert Tim Allen Home Improvement dog bark).

Thinking that if we have 3 ft of snow in a day and at the end of the driveway after the plows go by, I'd be kicking myself for buying the smaller one.

Husqvarna also has bigger wheels and powered drive. I forget if the Craftsman one had powered wheels (shrug). I was set on grabbing the Husqvarna. I'll need to buy some shear pins. Back when I had a snowblower years ago, I'd shear off at least 2 pins each winter. Hunk of ice or a fallen limb could shear of a pin (by design). Typically an easy fix but when your fingers are frozen and can't find the right size wrench or socket, it's time to call it quits for a bit.

Just need to get it from there to here (a mile and a half away on the other side of the center of town). Shouldn't be a problem.

When mine get tattered and need to be replaced, I drop them off at the local VFW. They collect them. About twice a year, they have a ceremony with the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. Fold them all and burn them appropriately.

I'd love to take this opportunity to say FCA is such a steaming pile of chit.

But I'm learning that every single modern vehicle is a steaming pile of chit. Even my new Honda has electronic pixie problems.

Starting to realize why well kept 20 year old vehicles are commanding a premium the past few years.

Yes. FCA is a steaming pile of poop. When I had my EcoDiesel it was in the shop twice for the same thing (egr valve issue) before 25k miles. Tech said they did not have a permanent fix and it would happen again... "check please". Got rid of the truck.

My dumb ass then got the exact same truck, but with the Hemi. Thankfully 41k miles so far.

One of the Service Technicians at the shpo says that regularly. They are all simply different levels of chit. Says it is a combination of government interference, planned obsolescence/purposeful subpar engineering and demotivated auto workers on the line as they measure their income against the forces of globalist domination at the top of their industry.

They aren’t dead yet, but the last seven years have been more fun than the prior 30 years as a Chiefs fan. Not nearly the NFL fan I use to be. Watched maybe 15 minutes of the game last night.

Watched it all and thought it was a good game. No dog in that fight but Detroit looked like a contender and Hutchinson will give teams fits.

Happy Friday folks. One more wake up before Alaska.
