Sorry to hear you're ailing.

I had an excruciating pain in my kidney a couple of months back.
Lots of contrast views and a full workup.
No positive results.
I got dosed with narcotics and turned out.

Took a couple of weeks before it didn't hurt.

No fun! I hope all the tests turn up nothing and you are healthy! But look like you are getting a lot done at the house.

Good looking body, and has the exterior trim

That’s a good buy if just to part out - assuming the rest of it look like that.

Re: The FORD Lounge

My thoughts exactly I could leave the cab on mine and then replace the bed fenders and everything else from this truck onto it.

Welcome to Florida, where they manipulate the fragile swamp land so much that Mother Nature is forced to fight back and put her land back to it's original state.

This was my way to and from work, key word "was". Heavy rains from Tropical Storm Cristobal caused this sinkhole, and another one about a mile away. I headed to work Sunday morning to find the whole road shut down at 6:30 am. About an hour prior a 60 year old man passed through the area and did not see the traffic signal lines down on the road. They lifted his car and flipped it like a pancake. Both sinkholes happened where the land was altered about two years ago when they widened the road to four lanes.

Yipes! That could cause some serious problems.

They're throwing concrete construction debris and fresh concrete in it to fill it. Ocala is very prone to sinkholes due to it's geographical location (over the acquifer) and constantly messing with the roads and stressing the land to build new things like retention ponds doesn't help.

Florida is basically the remains of a coral reef.
There's not much bedrock and the whole thing is porous.

I remember that acid rain was a big issue (back in the day) because it would dissolve the 'ground' right out from under places, as the aquifer was pumped. dissolved calcium carbonate would be pulled out and the replenishing ground water would not be buffered -basic- by those ions.

I can also envision that rising CO2 levels are going to start eating away at the edges as seawater diffuses from the coasts.

Growing up in north central Florida during the 50s and 60s, sinks were a part of every day life. Start plowing and before you were done a sink had formed some where, usually not that large but some were large and deep. You just planted around them and kept on going. We had a couple of larges ones on the farm, one was our home made go cart track. You took the wheels off the wagon grabbed a couple pieces of rebar for the axels some 2x4 with some nails and fence staples, you had a cart. One you would steer with either your feet or a piece of rope. Of course the brakes were your feet. The goal was to steer down the side of the sink missing the trees, and stopping as close the the water in the bottom as you could without getting wet. This sink was also used by the cows as a watering hole, so the water was rather nasty. So much fun.

Would we let our kids do it today?

Gary would you please add me the members map.

Here in middle Tennessee things are slowly opening back up, so are the number of cases being reported. The boss is keeping me close to home.

Sorry, Viola Tennessee. It’s about centered between Nashville and Chattanooga. 10 miles or so east of I24

A couple years ago, there was a big sinkhole on Canal St in New Orleans and they threw a party around it called "Sinkhole de Mayo" on Cinco de Mayo.

They still haven't fixed the sinkholes. They said on the news that the sinkholes were naturally formed, but there's nothing natural about digging a large retention pond and digging trenches for new drainage/water pipes? But what do I know, I'm just a casual observer who watched them four lane that same road and saw all the equipment they used to manipulate the ground where the sinkholes opened up.
