I would like to think this is only a Florida thing, but I’m sure it’s more common than I think. Vise grips holding the hitch pin on. Looks like the lock mechanism is missing.

Looks like the hitch pin is a 6" extension for a 1/2" socket wrench. Lol

That little trench suuuuucked way worse than the one 3x as long. It was nothing but rocks and clay. Spread nearly 3500lbs of mulch around the yard. Trying to fill in the space where the kids old playset was in prep for the new play set. This area gets very little sun and is always a mud pit so the kids can't play forever after it rains. 20240316_163718.jpg20240316_163722.jpg20240316_190400.jpg20240316_202505.jpg

Holy smokes! My alma mater just won the ACC Tournament. Which they haven't done since 1987 and they won as a 10 seed beating a #1 seed. No team has won 5 games in a row to win the ACC Championship. Was the only chance they had at making the tourney, too. State.jpg

If it can't be the Heels, my favorite team is "anyone but Duke".

My wife and her sister both went to UNC, but they are diehard Duke fans. It's definitely weird, but I'm fairly indifferent to Duke.

Made it out to Longboat Key and Lido Key in Sarasota today for lunch on the water. This 1800hp deep impact CC was for sale. No price listed.. 🙄

"I am calling Winter done. That call may kick my butt…near 60 degs here today."

This is on you, @zipper ... wind chill in the low teens, but at least the heavy snow stayed north and south of me. More nuisance snow the next five days, then hopefully we'll be done.

So I took today and tomorrow off to wrap up the rest of the work on the yard. Was supposed to have 5k lbs of soil delivered. Only to find out my "guaranteed date" was pushed from today to April 1st. Figured I might as well get some work done to the new truck. Went to the dealer to pick up some toys. My dealer was cheaper than everywhere online. Even said if I find a better price anywhere to call them they'll meet or beat it. While I await for the rest of my supplies to come in I had an older bottle of ceramic coating that I tossed on some of the plastics and fender liners. It's crazy that it doesn't come with them. In a few weeks she'll get a proper polish and ceramic coating install on the paint. Washing it today I could just hear how much crap was in the paint. Almost sounded like sandpaper. Forget how much it sucks to dry a car that isn't coated. Went with a drop in bed liner again since it was cheap and it's an aluminum bed so I'm not worried about anything rusting. Also if it gets banged up it's all of $200 to replace. 20240318_155040.jpg20240318_154957.jpg20240318_154932.jpg20240318_143230.jpg20240318_143218.jpg20240318_135757.jpg20240318_133918.jpg20240318_133909.jpg

Ya, I'd say most of it went North of you. First light, 5". I am suffering from "foot in mouth" disorder this morning. Lol, no big deal, it helps me out in the sugarbush this late in the season to keep the brix numbers up.

Try living in KY......They're still pissed about the Christian Laettner incident from the tournament in the '90's
