Yeah Thomas I did. Worked on detailing it a bit today before the second round of deluge set in. Terri is REAL happy to have her carport back.

Chris, is them specs the kind with out lines? My first pair did the same to me. Bounced off the walls of the house & felt like I was going down steps on a level floor. Went back & got conventional "lined" ones & haven't ever had problem since.

Steve, glad yall are OK. Hope the Leaf continues to stay outa' your house.

Yep. No lines. They tell me it takes a couple weeks to get used to them. I hope they're right....

Early to bed, Early to rise,
Makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
At least that's what Ben had to say on the matter.
Doesn't do a whole lot for me.
I'm healthy but that's about all.

The rain should be gone by 8am today.

I got through the night without a call.
I had a MHSP rotation call yesterday at 11am.
Gulfport will call within 24 hrs.
As for the county who the he11 knows?

I'm going in to assemble some new roll around parts racks today.
We are in the process of building a 12,000 sq' body shop next door to our current location.
The rain has put a damper on the slab work.
We used to use the footprint of the new shop as a parking area for vehicles in for work and for the employees.
Things sure are cramped with that space lost to the construction.

Everyone is anxiously awaiting the new facility.
The paint department will remain in the current buildings.
The body work will be done in the new building.

I get to take 2 of the existing body shop bays for the tow trucks.

Doing well here. Replaced my tranni mount last weekend and managed to break a
finger. Bryan, beginning to think old Ben was full of it.

Thomas, that makes my hand hurt just thinking about it. Bad fracture? Hair-line? & I certainly hope it wasn't compound. Guess that's going to rule out junk-yarding for a while.

Bryan, things sound pretty good for you Co. You get to use the facilities as needed, right?

What years are on your radar this week Steve? (Glad you're not under water)

Bryan, Can you type out the sequence/steps that you use to cut & paste Google earth images?

Had the wife take the Mercury to the front end shop while she was out shopping this morning. Got the call that the front left hub and both inner tie rods have excessive slop in them. He also told me that the brakes are down to 20-25%. I'm ready for her to hurry up and get home so I can get this unit up and shake it down myself. I'm already suspicious of the front right hub because of an active ABS light. Not quite fully prepared for the impact of ordering $300 worth of parts this weekend....

And I want to hear more about the breakage of the finger. How did you manage that exactly?
