Cool about the drop top Porsche.
My wife and kids have been enjoying the rag top pony the last week or so. They took it to the beach last week. It did great. I've been tinkering on it and fixing a few things here and there. Needs a power steering flush and a oil change. The big project though is changing the throw out bearing and clutch guts. Which will in the process fix the rear seal leak. I may end up farming that out. It would take me three times as long as a professional with a lift and the right tools.

That Jack Hammer is a piece of equiptment that I never did get to play with. It "Looks" like it might be fun for a short time, but not for 10 or 12 hours, and I'd sure be ready for a beer a 3.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend.

Looks like convertible weather for my girls again.

Might break out the recurve and get in a little target practice. Just got warm but I'm already ready for bow season to get here. I have considered getting a bow reel and do some bowfishing from the canoe on the cape fear. The Carp wallow in the shallows when the levels are low.

Well I'm sure my wife has plans, our son may be going to help a friend out with his car and stay the weekend..... Guess this guy may as well go to that farm pond again and see what happens. Or..... I could stay here and mow and trim the yard. That and a couple of pills for my back and I'll be out of it the rest of the day.
Yup, fishing sounds better!
Y'all have a safe Saturday!

Good morning everyone, Happy Monday. Got in over 300 miles yesterday with friends. 5 of us rode over to Ft Macon to watch the re-enactments. Interesting I guess but we lost intrest when the Park Ranger told us we couldn't use our own guns to help defeat them there yankees. Lots of sun and now I am sporting the sunburned raccoon mask, and the arms and legs are fried. But it was worth it. I hope everyone else had a great weekend also. Look forward to seeing everyone who attends the dinner later this week. Well it's time to get this party started, Have a great one.

I was pulling night shifts all weekend. Slept most of the day yesterday and today, which is fairly unusual for me lol. Been a few months since I had a good crash day though, so I reckon I was catchin' up.

I'm ready for Thursday myself! I'll be there in all my shiny security uniform glory lol. I gotta admit, it is nice to have a little authority. My partner had a guy not show up to relieve him, me and him both were ready to write his rear-end up, but he got let go by the big bosses lol

Good morning everybody! Myself I'm looking for ward to some thunderstorms yup I do like a good thunderstorm. I've seen more than my share of Tornados (I have some sweet pictures).
Nothing going on around here, as usual.
Hope everybody is safe.

Clint, you can keep that white stuff!
