it was a bit windy on Sunday, but yesterday was fine. If the temps stayed in the high 70's low 80's all the time this would be the perfect place to live, well, maybe get rid of the San Jose smog too, LOL. Of course, being a valley, I know all too well, that summer is going to bring more 100+ temps. Going to have to make sure to keep the AC in good condition in the Bronco Also any travel trailer I buy will have a working AC.

I have started putting out applications for a job again, as a precaution in case the State denies my insurance license.

Jim

Ah, so you just drove your idi with the turbo installed properly, and it feels like a whole new truck eh? That is awesome, now you can take it to Sacramento in July for the gtg we are planning there. Might even do a bit of four wheeling while we are there (unless you are afraid you will be shown up by a Bronco! LOL)

No wheeling for me at the moment, went out to the truck today, and the right rear tire is flat. It has plenty of tread, so most likely I ran over some glass in this back alley here. Tomorrow is payday, so I will take it to a tire shop and have it patched.

You are hilarious Joe. Unemployed, and new tires don't go together. Besides, they are not recaps, they are $200 Sears Bridgestone specials. The one that is flat is a Toyo and has excellent tread on it. No reason to throw it out just because of a piece of glass stuck in the tread.

Still waiting on the State to approve my insurance license, until then I have to make do with the unemployment checks. Sent them all the paperwork they requested yesterday. It seems the snail mail system is broken. I sent all the paperwork on the 18th of Feb, doesn't take a month for mail to go from Fresno to Sacramento, so it is obviously lost.
