heh heh...yeah, I know. There's been one reason or

now, it's been for the last (nearly) two years because
of the new truck, having to find where I want the
equipment; then having to pause all that while I have
some work done, etc.
All petty excuses. Anyway, speaking of trucks, mine was almost stolen last
night. I was up late and just happened to look out the door as a guy
approached the truck. I watched him as he looked in the window for several
seconds and then raised a rock over his head to break the glass. At that
point, I shouted for him to get away from the truck. He then ran to a
waiting pickup where his friend sped off. Sadly, the tailgate was down on
the pickup, so I couldn't see the license plate. Since there has been a
string of vehicle thefts around here lately, I called the police and gave
them the best description of the vehicle I could. Of course, by the time
they got here, the guys were long gone.
