I had 3 molars removed today which involved some surgery so I`m not feeling real perky tonight.
No doubt, getting teeth pulled is never pleasant.

I don't think I will have any issues with a higher rearend. I don't think I have ever used first gear in my truck.

Good day Perry, Ian, John, Colin and all who lurk here.
It`s fall weather here too Perry, I have lots to do before winter arrives.
What`s new in BC Ian?
Do you do your own sandblasting John? I do mine but hate it as my air compressor is large but not quite big enough.
I`ve never had any real problems getting teeth pulled but these 3 were really attached. I am feeling ok the day after tho a bit tender.
I`m leery about a higher rear end with my 3 speed Colin, you must have a 4 speed.
On these cooler mornings I use a heat lamp John but that only works with smaller items.

I have a sand blasting cabinet for the small parts and a big pressure pot for the big stuff that I do outside. Painted the cab and hood today and hope to finish everything else tomorrow..

Good evening folks
Twas a nice little day today, hazy until 11.30 then the sun came out and it warmed up quite nice, can feel rain though.
Got a sandblast cabinet for small stuff and a sandblast pot for big stuff, don't have enough air compressor to run either worth a damn.

A friend has a sand blasting cabinet and I have a one bag pressure pot but my compressor can`t properly keep up. Since I don`t have a fresh air supply and once I learned the dangers of that I pretty well quit using it.
Hope all went well with painting your cab and hood John.
It was really nice here yesterday Perry, today isn`t bad but it looks like we maybe in for rain, snow next week.
Nice 521CID Gerry but I wouldn`t want to feed it.
I don`t know how many of you follow it but it is nice to see that Canada once again won World Cup of Hockey.
