Good Morning Everybody!

Tiff has the Dodge today, I have her car so I can get a windshield put in it and Cora has a good pair of sneakers and permission to use the school bus.

It's raining here, so hopefully it either stops, or I get the Porsche bumper done enough to pull it outside while the guy pops in the new glass.

Afternoon Everyone!

Just in for lunch. I got that Porsche bumper fixed and in primer this morning.

RC, I'll ask if I see him. I may have to go to the highway patrol to get one inspected this afternoon. I just left the car and money at the shop. I use the Carsten Auto Glass on on south Glenstone. They're good guys there and give pretty good deals.

Hmmm. ......Everyone must be working.

Good Morning Everybody!

I'm off to physical therapy, then to the car lot. I'm gonna shoot the porsche today and put the tail gate on the Ford. ...then I have to see if I can make the rest of the Ford look like the tail gate.

I have to make the hold downs for Bandits new batteries, then I'll fit that throttle linkage.

Looks like everybody is up and at em'
Doing some honey due's this morning and waiting on who the property manager to get their plumber out here to fix/replace the kitchen faucet. There are a couple perks to renting, with a good company/property owner. But nothing beats having your own place, and out of this H.O.A..... But we did luck out for getting a nice place, sight unseen.

Hope y'all have a nice day

Unk Bob

Good morning all, I'm in office and attempting to catch up. Rich, you'll get some shop therapy in the near future, I'm certain of it.

I made myself laugh today. I went to PT this morning. Then went to work. I tried to put the tailgate on and quickly realized why it didn't have one to begin with. The bedsides were folded in so the tailgate wouldn't fit. I grabbed a sledge hammer and a block of wood and commenced to "clearancing" the bedsides so the gate would fit.

The funny part was, not 30 minutes earlier, the trainer told me the number one cause of back injury is the misuse of long handled tools. So, what's the first thing I grab when I get to work? ....a sledgehammer.
