Good morning Mike! Glad you had a good time up there!

Good morning Jay! That would make sense on that tag for Tom. LOL

Good morning Chris!

Good Morning FTE!! I hate being sick. I didn't sleep at all last night and my whole body aches and hurts. Andrew is home with me. He threw up in bed last night and then again before we left the house to take the other two to preschool/school.

I started feeling like I was going to throw up about 10pm just after we got home. It only got worse from there. I haven't thrown up yet, but I wish I would. I might actually feel better.

We were busy both Saturday and Sunday. We finally got a start on the house we're moving to. It is very slow going. So much stuff to do. I tore out the carpet in one of the bedrooms to expose the hardwood. The carpet was nasty enough on top. It was WAY worse underneath. The disgusting factor was about 8/10. I can't wait to see what's downstairs after all the water damage over the years.

Looks like a fun time sledding for everyone (minus the seized bearing)

Jay ... I'll pass along the birthday wishes for you. I can officially say she's older than be (for about 2 months yet). I have to rub it in when I can.

and next to Oscar the Grouch they must have your picture. In the definition, they have Oscar listed as Mayor of Grumpsville as well.

Hey Tom .. next time your coming down to Kato land .. could you bring your AE with? I'd like to see if I can figure out what the slippage is in my tranny before I start ordering parts.

I'm not as convinced on the TC as I was before, but still think it's a strong candidate. I drove it quite a bit this last week w/o Overdrive and haven't tripped a code yet. OD will trip it within 20 miles or less.

Good morning Michael! Sure hope you and Andrew feel better soon! Sounds like you got some work ahead of you on that house but will be nice once you get in there. I forgot earlier but happy belated birthday to Katie!

Thanks Troy!!! The house will be WAY worth it once we're done. Repainting and reflooring pretty much everything. The carpet is disgusting, but the hardwood underneath is really nice yet even after being covered by carpet for 30-40 years. We haven't even talked about specifics of the downstairs yet.

Dang, work is slow today. At least I will get out of the office Wednesday & Thursday to go do a store set in Hayward. Break up the monotony.

Hey Dale. Welcome to Monday. For most of us anyway.

Good morning Dale!

That will be nice to get out of the office for a little bit Jay!

Well I got the boat motor all painted so now to start hanging the accessories back on it. Hopefully have it ready to put back in the boat by the weekend although I won't be around this weekend!

Ok, the sled is kickin my a$$. I am coming across rusty bolts and stubborn bolts. I got the rear shock out and gave up on the front for this year. I want to be able to ride it, not fix it.




How tight should the chain be? It was pretty loose.





I need help! The dang bolt busted and I need to replace the bearings in that wheel. I also have a stubborn bolt on the other side where a wheel should go. Is it time for a GTG yet?
