Morning Allen, Pat, and all that follow.

Jim, My heart goes out to you my friend. Losing a furry friend is always tough. Been there way to many times over the last 65 years....

Think I'll hug my little buddy a little tighter this morning.

Morning Don. How are things in the desert today? I'm a little pissed off today. Found out one of my a s s hat BIL's decided to move a bunch of my parts for the 67 that were out at the farm. May have dented the hood I bought last year, and I can't find the clutch reservoir I took off of that 89 Ford. I'm pretty sure I know which one did it, he and I will be having a rather unpleasant conversation this weekend.

Morning Pat. I think I have a half dozen hoods here if ya need another.................lol

Things are going OK here. New renters are in the second house we remodeled, and now we get to do a bunch of cleanup and repair work on the main base. The LLC wants the base to look better for the meeting on the 19th of Sept. I think it's a waste of time, but they are paying for it.

I ordered a truck load of material for crazy lady's house yesterday. Should start on that remodel in the next two weeks.

Hope to have the time to wire in the lathe this weekend. We'll see......

Power company showed up yesterday and changed out the meter. It turned out it was reading much to much power and was waaaay off. They said I should have over a $900 credit, and probably won't have to pay a power bill for the next year and a half!

Damn, nice to not have to worry about the power bill, but, then again, would have been nice to not be paying so much in the first place!

I knew something was way off, but was so busy I just hadn't had time to look into it. The power guy John is a friend of mine, and has been super busy too, so that didn't help either. All is well now...

Wish me luck, I am taking the Ranger off road up in the Waldo lake wilderness area on Sat.
No better way to prove your work than being 16 miles from the nearest pavement.

The big brook trout in a un-named lake are calling me!

We need to have a intervention..............Your addiction to overwork is poisoning your life, if we don't help you, you may be found with a wrench in your hand, with sockets scattered around your lifeless body.

Take the first step, help yourself and dust off the fishing tackle.
