Evening guys.
The trade show was good and then I took the wife out to dinner down in Newport and a walk on the cliff walk buy the mansions.

Kyle the truck looks good.
Pete I am glad you are getting the 550 going.

Truck's done other than needing a couple tires, a coolant flush, and a few things I just want to do for peace of mind. Gotta grab a bit more distilled water and get the rest of the crappy Ford coolant outta there so I can put in caterpillar ELC.

Mainly stupid little stuff like putting triangles and an extinguisher in it, changing the one forward facing red clearance light to amber, etc.

Mainly stuff to keep Mr. DOT happy with me.

Brendon: My father wants to just get new tires for the truck but I'd be willing to give you a ride if you need one.

Good morning everyone, hopefully you can utilize this gorgeous day. Rain for tomorrow.
Andy, good luck to your son. Pinewood derby is always a blast, but its more fun if you beat all of your friends

Good morning gents. Had a nice night over at Eli's. Spent a couple hours out on the patio with a couple beers, but ended up eating inside since it cooled off a bit much for the ladies.
