Yesterday was fun, but today...UGH! kill me now. My back is hurting &stiff. Think I'm going to go back to bed with a ice pack & maybe later go soak in the jacuzzi.
Have a great Thursday.

I managed to get my 67 ready for the road trip next Friday. Did the wheel bearing today. I sure wish I had a bearing press. I must be getting old, $25 to press a wheel bearing on a Ford 9"?!?

I could have done that too. I want the peace of mind, since I'll have my kids with me....and it's 600 miles each way.

Technically it's like 589 miles, but pretty much close enuf to 600 to me. Exit 233 in Oregon, on I5, then West on Hwy 20 for about 6 miles.

I think he means that it is 600 miles each way on his trip to Oregon, not to Fresno.

The Bay Area heat wave is over for now. The fog is back and the temps are nice.
It looks like my truck is going to haul bark chip or compost this weekend. I think that is the difference between Ford and Chevy owners. For owners know their trucks are trucks and should be used as such, not just pretty shiny toys.

Goodmorning Everyone

Thank God it's Friday! I'm so ready for the weekend.
I'll be stocking at the General Store again tonight & my back has about had it! They had 3 Stockers, but 2 are out on medical leave right now & the other was a no call/no show yesterday. Weekends are my family days, so they need to find someone else to stock for the weekend & I need a chance for my back to recoup. LOL!
I haven't had time to even check on Olfthfl to see how she's coming along.
Have a good weekend!

Boy, I wish I was there! I miss Cali. so much. Mainly the ocean, moisture in the air, green grass to walk on w/o stepping on 'goatheads", & a "real State flower" Ofcourse I miss all of my friends too, but I'm sure they've all gotten married & moved away.
Once "Olfthfl" is back on the road, I have plenty of stuff that needs to be hauled....
clean out my storage, get more hay, muck out my horses stall & dump runs. Then, I'll clean her up nice & purdy for the next car show! LOL!
