I guess Autozone and Oreillys won here, as Napa is gone. I think it was only here about a year or so. I drove by there the other day and it's all closed up and signs gone.

Two cords cut and split today. Five overall paint jobs between now and Memorial Day to be completed. Good nutrition and rest are going to be important since I still have a full time job and home repairs to do.

I dunno RC, I'm kind of inspired/motivated by our monster truck driver and what he manages to accomplish. April 15 is a day that is a planned off day for a road trip to Sparta.

Evening All!

Rich. We went by your place twice today. We hauled the camper up to Warrensville so Tiff has a place to stay. I was a little nervous being the first time we blew the dust off of it this year. Apparently, you have to make sure there is NOTHING in the pipes except antifreeze. The kitchen faucet blew it's top and we had a geyser in the kitchen until we got the water shut off. A quick trip to Lowe's and everything appears to be holding. (Whew!) I planned on getting home several hours ago, but water thing held me up. We insulated the water hose going to the camper and put some heat tape in with it, so hopefully, we don't have any more issues.

Speaking of April 15th, if anybody wants to donate cars, I'll be more than happy to come and get them. It's crunch time now. I'd like to do a 20 car pyramid in the next week or two to test out my spreader bars and build some courage up.

Non expiring historic plates unless you plan to tow with it? One time fee of 25.00 and you keep a log of the miles you drive it.

I don't know if any of you remember that motor home we had for a short spell (The Titanic).
When we bought it, the older couple said it was winterized, and would be fine.
LIAR.
The first time we put water pressure to it, we had water running under the camper in seconds. Tim and I redid the pluming from one end to the other. Someplace in the shed, I still have the crimp tool for Pex Pipe.

We're hoping to know today about moving in May. If this happens (and we think it will) then it's about time to get Ka'Bluey transported, and get busy pinning down a house.
Y'all have a great week.

Unk Bob

Morning folks...I am still about immobile. My left leg (thigh) swelled up so bad on fri night I was limping and all day sat I could not put weight on it.

Sun the swelling went down and I could walk on it, sort of. Monday I can at least sort of walk on it and Penny is making me a Doc appt...

Great just what I needed...

I hope it's nothing major, Rich.
Or July move looks more like a May move
Shari is taking Friday the 5th, and Monday the 8th off so we should be in town that weekend
Now I'm waiting to hear from my buddy that's coming out, about changing his flight from July, to May. That shouldn't be a problem, I told him we'll cover the tickets anyway.
I need to get thinking seriously about getting Ka'Bluey transported. Most likely late March, or early April.
I talked to a lady yesterday about a house we really liked in Ozark. But the owner has a ZERO, German Shepherd policy. And Rocky's coming home with us.

good morning missouri... i hope your leg gets better rich.. i know how it is to have leg swell up.. remember last year at the swap..

jeff while you are ordering parts your horn relay quits working at times till ya beat it with a hammer so you may want to get another one (new or used) i dont care

alan i will keep my eye out for ya.. i could even see what kind of newer cars we have at the yard .. there is a raggedy ole 69 chevelle sitting in my yard..

chip are you going to be painting all the cars at once or spreading em out.. i hope you dont get a case of 'projectoverwhelmnation' that afflicts others in here..
