Very nice work. I to like my HF guns but I also picked up a nice HVLP from Summit a I need to try.

Imron can be nasty stuff, but not what it used to be. The frame looks better than some trucks!

Talking about your little project. I came across a Dodge crew cab with a 6bt in it on CL. Didn't link it as that goes away to fast. In Kali they wanted almost 10k for it, an 85 I believe.

Great story, Don. I'd heard that Trump did a lot of things like that, unbeknown to the public. Make me like him all the more!

I have heard this too, along with a few others. ONLY IN AMERICA

It is going to be a battle as we know. Remember even when Reagan was in he had to go around congress and used the pulpit to do so. They were not on his side either but the PEOPLE listened and liked it. We then had almost 20 years of growth right threw the click willy years. Who also got credit for much of it as he was being investigated and impeached.

That did go through my thick skull for a moment, but I like the jousting better.

10559
They probably were jousting, got to have some fun. Plus I bet it would knock a door down nice.

Back in the 70s ride was not a factor like it seems to be now. People want high rates but a soft ride?

Got the last of it in a few days ago. To darn hot for alot of work right now.

1 last strip to mortar in and sand it, done!! Have to lay a base for the last mortar strip. Will cement that in the AM, mortar later.

Big hold up is still the heat and all the kid stuff. Tomorrow is the last day of school so not sure if I will get more help or have to entertain more (later)

With all that is there a way to graft a new top on? Which is easier, finding a whole cab or finding a good roof.

Well, nice find on the "well" LOL. That may solve all the water issues you keep bringing up as now you have a source.

I like the idea of a solar pump. In fact I just lent my neighbor a little HF 12v to drain his AG pool. Just the 1/2 hose moved lots of water.

There you go blaming the machines you abuse. But I agree, something breaking everyday is not right. Probably start fine in the morning, er next week. But whats up with sarge?

At least a 2 lane, now it needs a hoist.

I have set up several 3rds and was never trained in it. I think I have at last average skills for someone who builds and repairs autos. From the sound of it you might also.

I wish youtube would have been around when I started. I read so much that is so easy to find now. Tate will set you up, he did me and I have a at least a couple to do hear.

My oldest boy went to help at the local memorial as a Boyscout.

I hope they have a safe trip too, sounds like fun. Kids and grandkids suck the energy from us!!

We just let the kids swim, I swim when they sleep (well I use a tube with a "beverage holder")

I sleep better in the TH. Probably because I do so much when camping and the board under the mattress makes it very firm.

Off to see Captain America.

I was going to guess it was for a mortar, but looked heavy for something you lug around.

The trouble is it is not something that can be fixed in a couple years, maybe not even in 4-8 years.

O has the media on his side, same with H. When we get a prez who believes in the US again and its laws it will be a battle everything.

Another reason I added a spring to my rough country front springs. Plus I am adding a bumper and winch, but I doubt it will be as heavy as SD's.

I am going to weigh the cumming too, that 1100lb scale will get a workout!

man, you are ruff on stuff. Bet that had you jumping in your seat too. We had what I think was called a hammer mower when I did that. Handled rocks better but lots of little blades to change.

Is it me or does the younger pre ranger look like you? Maybe the older can start mowing for you?

Maybe spray under the trailer before the grow next year, a lot less work than getting under there.

Upstairs looks good and I like the stove.

Yep, I found the only way to drain was pulling the hose, what a joke! And they are held on with clips, not clamps to boot.

For the hub, it is a 1 hour job and the best price on the hubs is a guy on Ebay selling timkens for $137. I actually carry a spare that run like $50 (just used it). Better to have a spare on a trip as it will run you hundreds and it always goes at the wrong time. Check your upper ball joints too. Easy fix but I have gone through several.

Tate, will send you pics of the Sami. It will need to be trailered, but it is nice with LOTS of parts!!

Well, went down to DMV and found I had neglected the tags. Got nailed for $180. Thought it was on No-opp, my fault.

Grabbed a set of used locking hubs as I don't trust the auto hubs and the stock front axle will be on at least for a few more months. Need to put the new rear springs on and add a leaf to the front just for driving around while I prep the new axles. When they go on it go up good and even found a raised steering arm to keep geometry sane until the x over is fit.

Getting back into working on stuff but need to flip the blazer first. Got a rear window solenoid for it today at the pick n pull to open the back without a key. Have to drive it a little more to pass smog.

Don't feel bad. They call you here and you go through the same. BUT, most of the time they hold you past noon and send you to another city where they run short of jurors. We are a small county but have court houses in 2 cities just 10 miles apart.

I have not had the pleasure since I retired and probably just jinxed myself.
