Good for you Mike. I take my daughters every year, until they say it's okay not to. Fifth or sixth one is coming up soon.

I put new rims and tires on my truck yesterday. The center caps don't fit. My old ones do. But, they're in horrible condition. I ordered new ones. But, I'm thinking I may blast and paint the ones I have. I'd like to try a few combinations of the caps, and other wheel accents to see what works best. Overall, not too happy with the wheels. But, I love the tires (handling) Still, I think I can get the wheels to look pretty good with a couple of mods.

Anybody do any CNC cutting of stainless?

This is the first one I have attended at the school. I have done 4-5 for the dance studio recitals.

A little reading. A little TV. Our daughter and granddaughter were over for a couple hours. Dinner (evening meal for all those vocabulary challenged forum members).

And I just ordered bearing & seal kits and other stuff from Dennis Kirk. I should have all that Tuesday. I ordered that and a lot more for what it would have cost at the dealer so I think that went well! And it was all in stock unlike the dam dealer.

Oil is changed. I now have a power steering leak to fix. It is one(or both) of the lines that run up to the cooler, they are rotting out right where they bend around the bottom of the core support.

That sounds like a good Saturday, Jay. Weekends shouldn't have to be busy!

That is a bummer Mike. Seems like it's always something. I saw a couple oil drips under mine recently. Blech!

Thanks Jake. It was a relaxing day but still...

Hello everybody.

As the owner of a SBF powered Mustang I am used to oil leaks.
