They are trying to erase history and I'm against that. Between that and the terrible people we have had in office lately, it seemed like a fitting rebellion. It's not about race, just anti-BS.

As a resident of New Jersey, drone capital of the universe, I haven't seen any drones. But, then again, I'm not the brightest bulb on the Christmas Tree. There sure is a lot of hysteria. Back in Autumn of 1938 a fellow named Orson Wells did a radio show about Martians invading New Jersey. Everybody thought it was real. Maybe this drone thing is a giant hoax. Yet, most likely not. Whatever the cause, what's so special about New Jersey besides the mob, tomatoes, and the Jersey Devil. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I got a set of those “X bull” tracks and they help a lot when I get hung up in the snow. They just stay in the bed of my truck the last few years.

Hopefully You Both had a MERRY CHRISTMAS. Here’s to a better 2025. Keep your chin up Muskrat life will get better. Forget about what we can’t change. I have decided I’m letting GOD handle it all. (Very hard for me right now so much going on) Our Christmas was good, well I ended up in the ER for 12 hours on Christmas Eve. I caught the stomach bug (the worst our hospital has seen) But we were all together & had a Great Christmas. Then yesterday the entire family one bye one got sick.. All 4 of them. (I did get some more testing done on my more serious issues & will need surgery). Our Granddaughter is doing much better compression socks are keeping her from passing out PRAISE THE LORD. Hubby’s thumb is healing nicely. Now I’m going back to resting. Did you mean to post this video twice? LOL I guess you wanted us to watch it. You & Cindy Have a safe fun amazing day.

I can truly understand that. The mountains were my church and the wind was my preacher. That's why I call it Gods country. Losing the ability to go to them when I need to is almost as bad as losing a loved one. Needless to say my head will never be straight again I fear. Except for KZbin. Sad how watching others live their lives is what my life has become. Guess I'm rambling again. Which is wrong in some peoples minds as I was told nobody wants to "Read a book".
