This is true, and if I truely need a break from it I turn it to silent or leave it in my truck and at night it gets put in the bathroom and I don't look at it until the morning.

The Mississippi river is high as hell but not rising with the spillway's open. I'm at work now and only a few miles from the river so right now we are depending on the levees to hold. My house is 50 miles from here in between Morgan City and New Orleans so I think I'll be OK.

Still no internet and no TV. Don't miss them either.
I wish....but my boss would probably hire someone to come out and install a signal amp.....

I'll cheat tonight, though. I want to see the Mavericks game, so I'll go over to my BIL's and watch it with him.

Stay safe and be alert.....

BTW.....my wife really likes that color golden bronze....that's the color she would like my next truck to be.....I told her only if they offered it in the limited or the HD trucks....cause that's the two choices of what my next truck will be.....but I might settle for a lariat again...

You can get a King Ranch in the Bronze, I saw one at the local grocery parking lot and that truck looked great. For some reason the Cajun's must love that color! Lot's of that color down here and a lot of new F-150's of every color. Somebody must have hit a gusher somewhere!

Vehicles getting appraised today for hail damage, and two other incidents on my wife's car. Going to be a costly one.
