Can't wait to hear the news. I haven't had time to check in much less work on any of the trucks. I was hoping to get a 4 day weekend with the rain coming in last Thursday but I ended up having to work all weekend. Oh well just means more money foe parts if I ever do get the time to work on either of them.

One more day until the weekend. On a serious note, I hope everyone has a safety plan in place for the incoming possible severe weather. I hope everyone remains safe and as always have an awesome day.

I am with you Pops,
everyone be safe, I have drill this weekend but I will be at the shop and not running around in the woods!!!! The garden is really starting to take off, I got stuff poping up everywhere. I just have to get the wife to water it while I am gone during the week.

I finally got the engine pressured washed on the truck, looking better. I am going to pull the radiator out of the motorhome tonight so I can get it dipped and hopefully pull the rotors off the truck and get them turned and some new pads installed this weekend.

Hey Guys,
Well I thought about it long and hard last night, and I was on the verge of dropping myself as the CL for the Georga Forum. I love it, love being on here and meeting and chatting with you guys. So after much thought I asked Southernbronco to be my assistant on here when I am out of the loop.

I should be on here till we leave out later on in the year and I should have internet access when we finally get to our base. But the deployment is still really in the air right now. But the moving to Winder and working thru the week looks like a 95% go for now. So you North GA members need to ready cause it looks like the chief is heading that way.

Good Friday morning. I hope last night was a little more uneventful for everyone than it was for us. We lost our patio furniture, a few windows on our house, as well as the windshield in my 01 F150. Its only material things so I am not concerned about them. I am just happy we all made it safely through that storm. If I get a chance later I will upload the few pics I took of the hail.

Glad to hear you are OK too POP,
We had some lighting and some rain but nothing like up there.

I have been working my butt off on the motorhome. I got the dual battery system up and working correctly yesterday. I did a retro from R12 to R134 on the dash AC and got it working again. I changed the oil, oil filter, air filter, new plugs, rotor and cap. I was one tired puppy when I got done yesterday.

Have to run to the parts store and get some new plug wires, belts and hoses this morning. I want to see if I can get the the generator up and running. I am replacing the side marker lights with new ones, they were looking really bad. I am also installing some vent covers on the roof.

The wife is picking me up a new HDTV antenna today from camping world and will get that installed this week. I am also going to pull the radiator out and get it dipped.

Hope you all have a great weekend !!!!!

Good Afternoon fellow Georgians! I have had a rather busy day. I replaced the water pump, thermostat, belts, hoses, and coolant on the 76 F100 so far today. I am hoping to accomplish a good deal more before dark. Hope everyone has a great afternoon and evening.
