I hate when they do that, I see it quite often. Be careful David, the top rungs of ladders are the parts I don't like to step on.

I'll do my usual classes at the gym, trying to keep middle age spread at bay, or simply counter act the snacking....I enjoy the classes so that's good.

The weather is going to be lovely tomorrow. We've been getting in some top down time and looks like tomorrow will be another day.
Will hit the road to check out an audubon site or two get some walking in and have a late lunch along the way.

Be sure to have a spotter. My BIL, who is in his 80s, made the not so bright decision to climb on a ladder in his garage without telling my sis. He fell off and hit his head on the concrete among other things. He was lucky to remain among the living.

No more top rung. I now have an extension ladder that will let me reach it safely.

My days on ladders are over . . . age, surgery, etc. say forgot that! Leaves and broken branches force us to go up on roofs a few times each year. I am ok with paying someone to do it, if I can find someone.

The only thing we need a ladder for around here is the shrub trimming. We have a guy for that.

Now that we finally drove the new Mazda home, I guess I'll put the RX350 on Craiglist. Can't wait to see the scammers hit on it.

Any particular reason for the switch in brands?
How have you been feeling these days?

Didn't the Mazda dealer offer you crazy money for the Lexus ? Dealers seem to be crazed for used vehicles.
