These EVs have pluses BUT -- beyond cost, charging stations?? Not like gas on every corner 🤔. And cost of replacement batteries 😳😳😳 geesh! $15-20K 🥴

have you priced a new engine lately for a car or truck?

they're not perfect, but for my own uses they would work fine if the purchase price were more reasonable. tax credits do no good for me. they are coming down in price as they make more of them.


Warmer than normal aver for several days here. Enjoying it 😁👍 Lovely sunshine. Having a clean up, repair things, couple days. DS worked at it yesterday, hope he's on board today like he said he would. Couple roof shingles to replace and a 4' trim piece on a dormer. Really need him to get that done first! Ladder set, I may need to climb it. 😳🫤😖 I'm ok with that but, he's the roofer/framer...not me. So much faster at it.

it's nice to have someone who can get up there. :)

There's about 3/4 pot of coffee that's HOT and READY for Y'all so fix a cup or glass of Iced Coffee plus also there's tea bags for Hot Tea and Hot Cocoa if you prefer that.
Once FH is up and off to work I'm going to see if I can stay motivated and get some more sugar cookies frosted so once I get the chocolate chip cookies made (once I make the run to the closet store for more butter around 9AM) and completely cooled they can go in the treat bowls also so that way FH can give them to his paving crew on Mon.

I promised Y'all pics when I got the cookie bowl treat bags finished so I am sticking with that promise; 1st & 2nd pics are of one cookie bowl treat bag the other day, 3rd-5th are pics of what they look like now and 6th pic is the box FH is taking to work on Monday for his crew.

Cooper got a collar (not by me).

He comes for a visit everyday. Then I think around dusk, he walks back home to eat and sleep 😂. Then he's back over here at the crack of dawn the next day.

I stopped calling his owner to let them know where he's at so they could come get him. They pick him up and the after a short time he's right back over here anyways.

It's all good though he's a friendly dog, my granddaughters love to play with him. He gets along with all the animals. He seems to think I'm his owner, but of course I'm not. I like him, plus he keeps the rabbits away.

Jesus is Lord and Christ 🙏❤️🇺🇸

A farm dog without all the responsibilities... not a bad trade off... maybe he gets harassed at his other home by another animal??? Or left alone alot and we all know that beagles are very sociable type dogs...

Heck YES!!!! My Beagle Kozmo is very sociable and would love to roam the neighborhood all the time if I let him and to clarify that I DON'T LET HIM RUN LIKE THAT. I just don't pay attention to his E Collar so I don't always realize it needs to be charged until it's too late.

Cooper most definitely fits into the sociable category.
