It's in meriden, I talked to the guy again, they are going to bring a torch to cut the last bolt and hopefully free the transmission from the block, I am hoping they succeed, other wise I did a lot of removal on the truck for free for them haha

Haha, I am hoping that they will have it out, after all I have everything out for them already accept that one bolt! Took my truck for a drive today, it's running great, love driving it around. I'll bring it to the next GTG.

It was definitely a nice day outside! Glad to see the sun for an extended period during the day.

Kyle, at least you still showed up with a Ford truck. Though I do prefer yours over your dad's. I'll try to do a better job getting the word out well enough ahead of time so we can get a few more guys next time. Maybe we'll have to try to do a family style get together at a park and make an afternoon of it. Maybe do some grilling or something.

I should be able to swing something at my place soon. Just gotta get the house cleaned up first and figure out which weekend we aren't otherwise occupied. Family would be welcome as it gives me an excuse to turn on the arcade and inflate the bouncy house.

I'm pretty sure pigs will fly before you come up for a bouncy house. Unless of course I fill it with Tilted Kilt waitresses. That would probably bring you and pretty much every single guy for a couple hundred miles.

Morning everyone.

Today in the 70's, good to be outside today.

Started laying down a cement block floor in the dogs kennel yesterday. Moving crushed stone then laying in 3' x 2' blocks. Hope to finish it today.

This afternoon I have a guy coming out to give me an estimate on a new roof. I know I have to bend over but I'm hooping not to badly.
