Despite all the crap I give him, he is real good about helping me, as you all already know. I put that beam up by myself about 10 years ago, but there is no way I'm gonna try to take it down and put it back up higher by myself now! I've already had surgery for that! LOL!!

Sounds like you have a plan Bill. I'd want to get it out right away too, it would be bugging the heck out of me! Get it out, fixed, and off of your mind!

Thanks Kevin. Hopefully I don't run into any more surprises while the engine is out.

I'll let you use that excuse and give you another 2 hours. So that's 3 hours, you need to have the engine out. So what are you going to do the rest of the day Friday? LOL!
