Strange weather we have been having here. Was supposed to be a 20% chance of rain yesterday, and nothing showed up. Today was originally said to be 80% but I just checked the weather report, and now it is down to 20%. I guess the storm that was supposed to hit us took a detour or something. No plans for the holiday weekend for me except for church on Sunday.

Good Evening Nevada gang. Started filling my shed & got a lot sorted out. Unpacked boxes that I haven't seen the contents for over a year. Once this late winter rain stops want to paint the shed then start my retaining wall.

In Nevada, late May, rain and snow ten days in a row. How often does that happen?

One thing for sure, this weather is unusual and the Weather Channel give us no insight. I will suggest that this is a change of climate.

Have a great weekend everyone.

There are many good, valid reasons such as cost, and our dogs need constant supervision. I know these are things that could be worked around, but the hatred I have for Florida and the issues with the inlaws where they will be staying are the main reasons.

Well, sounds like valid reasons to me!! Well, I guess you'll have a nice, quiet relaxing weekend, then. How long are they staying down there?

Will be beer, BBQ, and wrenching without interruption for a week! Now if I only had the $$ to get everything I would have time to fix...

I wish I could say AC!, but it will just be the little stuff I have been putting off. U-Joints, radius arm bushings, rear axle seals, and 4 way brake clean and adjust(again). I should have the carb back from Jeff in a couple days also. Then I plan to drive the hell out of it! It's a shame I don't have more parts. It will be tough spreading that little bit out over a week.

Speaking of AC, I just enriched the economy through Summit racing, ordered the AC evaporator. Oh, and a chrome cover for the front Dana 44. Hopefully that carb works out this time!!
