This past week we have gotten 1.1 inches of rain. Corn and Soys looking much better. Hopefully we will have a good harvest this year and with the high prices things will be looking up

Happy Saturday Michigan.

Glad to hear the crops may make it!

Window regulators will be in on Wednesday. But I think I am going to see how long the gorilla glue holds. I finally got comfortable with putting the window up and down yesterday.

This was actually a mechanical failure. The F150's have a cable driven, push-pull set up. One of the points where the cable goes into the part that moves on the track brok and the cable popped out. Makes a mess, hard to wind correctly. I ordered new ones that should be here on Wednesday. The repair lasted about 10 total cycles before I heard the pop again. So I am just going to replace both front actuators and not have to worry about that for a long time.

Happy Monday!

Good Morning Rich, Yes Sir, we are back. RRE is a BLAST. The events were fun, Raced the drag strip, MY reaction times were fantastic, but my truck speed, well.. it is a truck, but hell, it is faster then stock.

Moonshine was the flowing thing there, besides beer, came back with a few new things to try, and a couple to follow in the mail shortly.

Friday I was LIVE TUNED BY JODY!!!!!! this was given to me by Petey, he had won it two years ago and said he would never use it, so I should take it..Never in MY wildest dreams did I expect that..wish I had something to offer up to him right then and there, I WILL get him back, somehow.

Saturday, we checked out the forbidden caverans, then off to the Titanic museum, made it back by 6 for dinner and the activities. Didnt win anything, but I am pretty sure that was already taken care of Friday.

just way to much fun!!!

The people there Rich, they are all just fantastic, it it is a GREAT time!!
