Morning Bill, Steve, Craig, Pat, John and anyone that I missed.

Woke up around 0300 and could not get back to sleep so today is looking to be a coffee day.

Morning folks. Soggy day today - weather guessers are saying we might see as much as 3" of rain in some parts of the area.

At least I get an early quit today - got an appointment at 2:45 to get the alignment for the OBS checked out, seems like it's off for some reason as it's wearing a tire funny. I thought ball joints at first, but it passed inspection and was tight then, and I checked again over the weekend and they still seem tight. The wear is uniformly bad (it basically made the outside of the right front a slick), so I suspect something wrong with the alignment.

Morning Bill, should be pretty nice here the next few days, 70's through the weekend. Sucks about the truck.

Morning Pat. Looks like we'll be caught in a rainy pattern for about the next 10 days or so, which bites because we've been finally setting a bunch of these box culverts we've been making all year, but can't in the rain.

Is what it is on the truck. I made some tweaks and adjustments to the suspension at various points since July, and thought I didn't affect alignment. Thing that burns me the most is I didn't catch it sooner and ruined my front tires. In the rain this morning, that thing was a HANDFUL...lol.

Nothing like slicks in the rain! I used to make box culverts, worked for a concrete company in the early 90's. That job SUCKED!

Pouring concrete's definitely not an easy job...done my share. And OSHA won't let you set them in the rain, nor will PADOT.

Yeah, those slick front tires kept me awake today...sudden little blip left, blip back right...kept me on my toes lol.

I worked there over the winter, that was miserable. I HATE being cold, and we froze our butts off. Can you still drive the Expedition? May want to take that on rainy days!
