Morning everyone, you guys are way more productive than me on weekends, I did actually get materials for next weeks job, but then went camper shopping. That sucked.

The hill climbs are May 29th.

Trailer park boys was on showtime last night.

Well I've had a productive morning so far.
I changed all the cables and the chain on my bicycle.
Then went for a little spin in the wooded area behind the park.
Still need to adjust my new (to me) rear derailleur, but at least the bike got a tune up.

Yes, I cheat.

But she's up in bed snuggled with my better half.
I probably won't see either of them until 10.

Oh, and I didn't "get" anything, except replacements for the rusty crap that was on there.
The bike is a late '80's vintage StumpJumper.
Can't believe I still have it.

Afternoon/evening guys. I took the ugly 4x4 stickers off my truck last night, I'm thinking of washing the truck today. Not too sure... it's either that or go to my mom's for dinner.

Hey Brendon, no problem! If I hadn't potentially scratched your wheel, I would feel better about what I did. Thanks for taking me to meet Lisa, and for the gyro. I think I will be going back there sometime soon.

No worries Josiah, you just made them all match. You definitely need to go and see Lisa more often. I think she likes you.

Oh and I'm rubbin'. I jacked it back up, and found more fender liner missing. lol. I had to bend up the "screw mod" tab a little more, and bend a tab in the back. I'm inquiring with a friend about a fender roller, even though a ball-peen hammer worked rather well when prying against the tire. I also figured out how to adjust the camber in the rear, but it will be easier on a lift, and it just so happens that the guy with the fender roller, not only has a lift, but is storing my Mustang too. I pick that up this week, so I will probably have Kendra go down and drive the Mustang home, while I roll fenders.

Afternoon guys.
Matt I washed the truck and the wife's van this afternoon.
It was a little chilly out there with the wind.
