Good afternoon. Finally had a busy afternoon at work for a change. Usually it's the mornings that are busier and the afternoon drags.

Bah, should have just gone for it. It would have been fine.

End of an era for me today. Drained the water bed that I've had since 1981 and put a regular mattress in. It's been in the spare bedroom and not really being used for a few years, since da wife had back surgery. And the heater quit working a few months back. My MIL is coming for the weekend for my wife's grandson's graduation. (<--That's a keyboard full right there) I don't believe a 92 year old woman wants to sleep in a water bed anyway. Still makes me a little sad since the bed was my high school shop project.



Free queen size water bed mattress available. About 4 years old.

Good evening guys!

Was a very busy afternoon for me. After we got home it was time to eat quick and then off to swimming lessons for Jase and teeball for him after that. Just got back home now.

I got the a/c issue dealt with on the camper pretty much. They were willing to pay for whatever it takes to fix the unit that is on there now or for me to pay about 250 out of my pocket and they will cover the rest and will install a brand new unit complete with warranty so that is what I decided to do. I am hoping to get it all taken care of this Saturday.

Good Evening everyone. Kids are getting ready for bed, then time to start sanding doors. Starting tomorrow, we have baseball/softball games every MTWR.

Dave and Goldy must be busy with the shop. Neither has been by since this morning.

I finally got off my lazy *** and looked at the brakes on my truck. Lubed all of the slide pins and rotated tires.

I wonder what the odds are of the rear drivers slide pin coming out of the caliper bracket. LOL

Time to order parts.

Hi Michael, I know exactly what you are going through with the kids sports.

Hi Chris.

Way to go, lazy...........LOL

Good luck on that pin, maybe with an oxy/acetylene torch it will come out.

Might be just as easy to get a new one for that price.
