Good morning Chris. Seems to be the common theme in most of the eastern part of the country

That's funny you brought this up Mike. Just yesterday there was a short article on the interweb about how gas prices have fallen for the 10th week in a row...WHERE!?

Good morning. Nice thunderstorms we didn't have. The weather guessers are accurate as usual.

Still around 80 here Troy.

You can keep the 80* temps Jay I will stick with the 60's for temps! Although all the rain is not helping the street in front of the shop all too much.

Good morning everyone! Hanging out at Urgent Care with the little one. Some sort of rash on his arms legs and cheeks. Probably heat rash but want to be sure before he goes to daycare.

Shop sounds like things are starting to come together for Dave and Tom.

Temps are supposed to start dropping and end up around 65 by 5pm tonight. It's starting to look like we might actually get some rain today. It's all been going north for the last few rounds.

I will need a box when I get that far. the floor is about 50% gone in my current one.

Other plans include:
Front Vinyl Floor Regular Cab 4wd Pick-up Beige

and I'm looking for the site now (i seem to have lost the link. ugh)... for the seat recover I want. leather with an embossed ford logo in the center

My retired cop buddy used to dive for bodies. He didn't like it and didn't do it very long, but he has some great stories.
