Happy Father’s Day

Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there.

Yesterday we took my dad out to an antique tractor pull and looked around a restored antique Texaco service station (just like the one he grew up working at that my grandfather owned in the 50s and 60s).

So far today, I have done a bit of work on my 930 and now have to fix a leak in our RO system that my wife discovered. The stuff never ends…

Happy Father’s Day too

I don’t know what the wife and kids have planned, but I know it will be laid back.

Happy Father's Day!!!
Going to try and have a relaxing day today. Ever since the trip to Disney I have been having lots of congestion and have been managing through it. I swear I think the mouse down there gave me the hantavirus, lol. Have a a good day gentlemen!!!

HFD. Has a ring to it. I wondered what HFD means as an acronym. So I asked.

"Are you seeing HFD on a financial bill, in a medical context, or somewhere else? I can provide more specific information if you share where you encountered it."

Where the heck does that come from? So I went to the AI box below and replied, "Happy father's day."

AI responds, "Thank you! Happy Father's Day to all the dads, stepdads, grandpas, and father figures celebrating today."

Now I'm LMAO.

Why do we celebrate fathers when every father I've ever known was a MFer... including myself

Those who have suffered teen rebellion know of which you speak. Oh well, happy father's day.

Didn't mean it that way, more in the literal sense. A dumb dad joke for father's day :^)
Happy dads day everyone, God knows you earned it!

Fixed the AC and the stereo wiring in my 930. Cut some grass and fixed the other stuff…

May go look at a Cayenne turbo for parts next.

I went to check out a problem my mother-in-law was having with her car. I found a leaking transmission line at a fitting where it goes into the radiator, good times. Wife didn't even say thanks. Happy Father's Day!!!

Wife made a great dinner for us and relaxed with our Son and Granddaughter.

Saw this and thought it was a good Father's Day meme:
