I finished a water heater tank instal in grandmas house today, will carry out the old tank another day,  picked up an older air compressor that build air pressure but won’t shut off and won’t hold the pressure of builds.  Not sure what it could be but will futz with it anyways

Also picked up a few bottles of holiday cheer,  there has become a Crown Royal shortage here in this area so I bought a few shelf bottles of that as well

I’d like to see the head gaskets done personally.  I know that’s the next step in mines future, I’ll take the how to write up,

Plus you sell you’ll loose lots of value invested, you loose the off-road ability the new truck won’t have. The tow pig option can be addressed in other ways cheaper then a new truck


I did have a friend drive back from Tennessee with a new 1 ton Cummins with a lifetime warranty on drivetrain. That was interesting enough!! To think hum. Could I drive a dodge?

We do try to employ legal folks, and men who are good at their craft but I’m not past saying we made good profit off of after the fact concrete being added to the house,  I don’t recall ever telling a customer the sqft cost but only a total based off what I bid

Can’t you put a pressure tester on the system also to see if that is an issue

I need to buy a new intake system for mine. The filter rubber jacks broken down and is disintegrating or sticky to your fingers. It’s a sb intake for stock location.  I’d like a new intake box and so forth   


Just can’t stomach the cost of a new system!

Pretty fancy office there.

I mounted the trailer plug solid. Was just zipped for way to long!
Did you cut it into the bumper or what?


Well as far as my minimal experience goes with interviews I’d say it didn’t go well, my attitude is to matter of fact when it comes to someone questioning why I didn’t finish my degree. anything past writing and Math, the how to’s of a task really don’t get taught in school per say.

While the kiddos were off at school I disassembled the exhaust on the Yamaha banshee and polished it all,  amazing what a good chrome finish will do vs what that cheapo China junk our pickup wheels have on them now days


Also did some shrink wrapping to form a cable around the clutch cable

Well the young guys on the phone interview Did ask where I see myself. I struggled not to laugh because we talked about it.    I told them on the floor or in a cubical and that I didn’t have a glass globe to see that far in the future,  had they asked if I thought I would ever apply back at this company again when I left the first time I would have said no also.

All in all basic kid questions

What are your strengths,
What do you see as a weakness,
What do you bring to the table that others do not,
Will you work extended hours when required,
What do you consider later to work?

Really basic stuff

Funny when you turn it back on them,  what do you need from an employee and why did you view my application lol. They stumbled to not answer lol

That tailgate isn’t a bad one to fix,  the latch clips are cheap on Amazon and I always just replace the complete handle so the plastic matches.

Wow!! Love it.  The extended cab is perfect for a young lad

Now motor,  thought we were going to pull the burb motor anc swap and d max in it which frees up that old tired 6.2 you have in it right? 

Have you ever seen someone boat side a jeep?    I’d like to try replacing the lower rockers with a 2x6 tube and welding it in place along the while cab leaving 2 “ out to act as rock sliders.   One day?

Day #1 of state at home dad!!

Kids were up early, fed a good breakfast, teeth brushed and at school early.

Now what to do!!!

I checked tire pressure on the Jetta, one tire always goes a little low.

Next up?  Clean out my phone of old work junk and continue to simplify my life

Figured I could read a book or two.  I have also wanted to polish up some management certifications.  So I’ll look at what online classes I can do

Can wait to go to sleep without the verberation of that crap fan

Made a man purchase today,

Friend of mine is having his first child and while I don’t mind a cigarette now and again I have never tried a “real” cigar.    So I stopped at the local old man smoke shop and asked to be educated on the ins and out what’s and so forth.

Brought home two types of cigars to celebrate on this occasion with him as he becomes no so much just a man but a father

I’m pretty excited about the adventure and look forward to owning a tobacco pipe to sit on my porch and enjoy the summer evening with
