Mmmm... draft... (Just finished the last of of my holiday beer... 
)
Great pics steve.
Is the afore mentioned app one of the numerous "dyno" aps? Always thought those were amusing, but without programming in exact vehicle weight, gear ratios, etc etc... I always wondered how accurate those things were.
Frustrated - won't need an enclosed trailer now for close to a year (9 mo or so), but after months of disappointing listings I stumbled across one that would be big enough to take the small car with me when we eventually move, has fresh tires and happens to be the same red as my truck.
It's frustrating how much I like this trailer... and how good it would look behind my truck.... when I think about how much it would cost to store for 9 mo.
(Edit: on the other hand, I still have a preference for goose-neck trailers, even though I wouldn't be able to get a cap for the dog to hang out in.)
Also, looks like I'll be getting wheels for my b-day. :-)

'morning all.
I'm excited - seem to be more promising job opportunities posted in the first 5 days of this year than the last several months of last year.
How's everyone doing today? Anyone have big plans for the weekend yet?

Morning Rob. No big plans, but really need to spend time cleaning up after all the storms and doing yardwork that couldn't be done in the rain. I'm hoping for some decent weather this weekend.
Sounds good on the job search. Best of luck.

I just use a little WD-40 after a rain when locks on the house get sticky. That doesn't last well either, but it does free them up. When I really want to treat my locks I spray WD-40 in the hole with a nozzle, then spray the key, then rub a dry graphite stick on the key to make a paste, then insert the key into the lockset and work it back and forth.
The tailgate on the truck gets that treatment. That's the only car lock I have used in years.

Hey Fellers,
Its back to the grind.
Quick question, Am I turning into a grouch or does saying "Happy New Year" to everyone in the office (about 200 times) the worst part of coming back to work after the holiday?
I mean c'mon, nobody cares if I have a happy new year or not. If you didn't have a happy new year already, me telling you on the 5th of Jan isn't going to help much, is it?
I don't like Christmas much either, can you tell?
