Such a dedicated eagle, keeping those eggs warm! Was it a late winter? Is this a female or male eagle? Did the eagle break the snow pile loose? Did those eggs survive and eaglets hatch? So many questions! Thankful this was not how eagles in our area woke up this morning!  

The water pump plays a major role in the operation of our vehicles. When talking about auto repair we generally think of maintenance items like belts, hoses, tires, brakes, oil change etc. A failed water pump just isn't something we think of needing replacement.

Maybe you have already made a major change. This phrase could be a reason to keep doing what you are doing! Hope your days has been a good one! Now back to my promise....
