Morning all. Nothing getting deleted for a while. I've still gotta find some time to research what people are doing to these engines. It's got more than enough power as it is so I'm not in any rush to touch anything.

I keep forgetting to thank Aaron for helping me with the trailer before my vacation. It worked out real well during the trip. I wanted to take some pics, but I only just emptied it Sunday to make a small delivery and the torsion spring setup on the rear ramp tried to kill me. I will never be buying from these guys again, and I might be making a trip to GA to return the trailer if I think I can get my money back. We'll see.

Wow Greg, sorry to hear you're having so much trouble with it. Both the trailers I bought from them were made by other manufacturers; I just recently found out they started making their own. What was wrong with the axle?

The axle was just a brake spring that had popped loose, but the roof and door both leak quite a bit of water in heavy rain. The torsion spring is just the icing on the cake. They offered to try and fix the roof for us but said we would have to bring the trailer back to them for repairs . I don't expect much to come of our complaining this time but we are going to try and reinforce how my children or I could have been badly hurt when it let go.

Aaron that's a lot! How big was your sidewalk! We usually use concrete express out of salem, the guy is good friends with my boss but yeah, those ready mix trucks are pricey!

Morning

looks like I can get some wood stacked today. Had a couple cords of oak and walnut dropped in the back yard. Then going to move the 2 or 3 cords on the side of the garage to the patio, cover and all set for this winter. Then in the fall, cut and stack next years wood.

kyle its a small walk, but still ends up being almost 120 square feet at 4", plus a step that i had formed and poured at the same time. then i did the footings for the deck which also took quite a bit.

greg do you have a new truck yet?

Afternoon everyone, went to work on my sister's car, her 2006 escape has a misfire on cylinder #1, right underneath the intake manifold where you cant get to it without taking that dam thing off, and I definitely don't feel like taking it off at the moment!
