The only area I can stand in VA is the Shenandoah Valley area. The land of Jefferson and Washington taken over by Liberals. No offense Sparky, they are moving in here too.

Bob,

Sucks about the hand. Hope the over exertion didn't do any additional damage. It looked like you were doing pretty good with it when we were playing guitar the other day.

I don't think I did any damage to the hand. It actually felt good to spend the day in the back yard yesterday after the sun came out.
Tim trimmed some trees in the backyard, and I brought the limb to the fence with no problems. Then got out the scooper and cleaned up where Rocky had been, if you get my drift, all without the brace being on.
Earlier I found out that when I did my laundry, I also washed my wallet, for once I'm glad I don't carry cash.
But I sure could have done without seeing those ribs and brats on the ground.


It was nice getting those guitars out for a bit. We need to get together again so we can play the same thing.

Bob, Sorry about your hand and all your hard work on the grill. Hope you didn't put yourself back in the healing process.

Thanks guys, but no damage done to the hand. Just some wounded spirits picking dinner up off of the ground.

We got some sleet last night and I noticed a flake or two of snow earlyy this morning, but nothing accumulated enough to notice.

On another note, I got voted back on as a permanent member on my FD last night, pretty happy about that. I can run lights on calls now! lol

We had a thin layer of ice this morning on the back deck, but the sun coming out took care of that already.


Playing around on craigslist like I do, and think I need a 12 string acoustic guitar to play with. So I may be selling one of my carry toy's that I've had for several years.
It's nothing fancy, not a high dollar brand, and has never had a malfunction.
If anybody is interested PM me and I'll send you pictures, make and model number. It's a Double Action Snub Nose 38 Special.

Lined up a couple of OBS trucks to look at for parts tomorrow. Might even get a straight truck bed!

Top on the list is a super straight truck bed. Followed by a Drivers front door. The current one the Mirror was ripped out and did some major damage. Id like to replace the seals for the doors\windows, but I'll probably go through ford for those if I can. The truck has had a rough life, and really needs a lot of sheet metal.

Tomorrow I'm going to look at a white 96 for the door and longbed. Plus a blue 90' for a front clip, as I'd like to replace the fenders and hood.

Well, the parts run is going to have to wait till the afternoon. Just found a leak in the upstairs bathroom, so gotta get that fixed first.

However the fuel pump and other pieces came in from bronco graveyard, so might be able to get those on today or tomorrow.

I got up this morning and put a TB on the wife's equinox. It was running beyond terrible last night, it's had a rough idle and random reduced engine power. So far the idle is smooth as glass at 900, before it would go from 6-1200.
