Morning all.

That Krown looks good. From what I gathered on line, it goes for $135 Sprayed in by that place in Gloversville, NY. Gives me an excuse to go to upstate.

One year I used Fluid Film and it was messy and I didn't get everything. The next year I used spray Fluid Film and I didn't have a good fuzzy feeling. Last year I got a monthly car wash for $30's and went in just about every other day. So this may be the answer. I'll have to look into it a little further.

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Good morning everyone. Last day of work today, I'll be spending the morning cleaning my desk out. I'll be on the road all next week, but back for next weekend. Anybody interested in meeting up for some breakfast again?

When and where? I believe I'm being abandoned at some time tomorrow anyways.

Tomorrow is tough, but I could do this Sunday or next in the morning. I've enjoyed Mitchell's on Main the last couple of times we've been.

Evening guys, Tom, I hope everything goes well, moving is a pain no matter how prepared you are for it.

Went biking today, fell off a cliff, right onto a pile of horrendous rocks, luckily I escaped mostly unharmed, I'm fortunate I didn't snap my leg off at the knee with where I landed. I fell from where the bike is, to the two rocks below off to the left, right on top in between them, look at these *******s, standing straight up ready to impale me! Bike broke a lot of my fall and my leg went right in between the two rocks thankfully.



landed right on top/in between these two




Twisted the bars right around, also bent them

Good morning everyone.

WOW Kyle, that could have been bad! Sorry to hear of the damage to yourself and the bike, but it would have been a lot worse. You wear a helmet, right?

That's a pretty gnarly drop, Kyle. Glad you're ok.

I could do a gtg sometime for breakfast again. Mitchell's on Main is definitely good if we go early enough like we have been. Should we start a separate thread for it for next Sunday or this Sunday?

Thanks guys, I straightened everything back out with the bike and have an extra set of handlebars from my downhill bike so easy repairs! My knee is a bit worse off than I thought, I can't keep my foot planted and twist towards the left other wise I get a sharp pain. Definitely makes working a pain in the ***. I'll give it a few days and see how it goes, hopefully its just sprained and nothing is torn. Definitely landed on the worst possible spot! And yes, I always wear my helmet!

GTG would be good, It would be nice to bring my truck to one for a change!

I have been trying to find a pair of 5 lug aluminum wheels for my tires that are wide enough for the 33's. I'm pretty sure my steelies are all bad because of the off roading, and dents in them. The factory ones are a bit too narrow so I've ruled those out.

Good morning everyone.

Headed West today. Have to sign out in Albany around noon, then gonna try for Erie, PA this evening. Didn't sleep too well last night, so I don't know that I'll make it that far. I'll be towing the boat with my old Lincoln so I won't be moving fast!

Have a safe trip with your Lincoln. Based on your advice I am going to tackle changing out the air bag solenoids on my Lincoln. Thanks.
