Just some occasional sprinkles down here. I'm busy trying to track down parts for my upcoming truck project. "Return to stock suspension height"
Even the small lift on my truck isn't very practical for towing, hauling, loading, and getting kids and car seats in and out. Plus, the lift springs that are on the rear ride like crap.
I've got a set of factory rear leaf springs with overloads on the way from Vegas. Now I just need to get new u-bolts and factory front coil isolators to replace the 2.5" spacers on the front.

Yep, down there in Eagle Point. Haven't had to need to order anything for the pickup yet, but at one point I did have my eye on a mechanical fuel pump. I may still need to order one. We'll see. They had it for $90, others didn't carry it and Ford wanted around $300 for the exact same pump.

Good soggy evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Electronic Rain gauge at the high school just beyond my back fence says .45" since midnight. The Wheel barrow I failed to turn over says about 2".

Pretty close to what my wheel barrow is telling me. Just went out with plastic ruler and it is says there in 1 3/8".
I've had been thinking about getting me a remote full featured electronic weather station, but since SHS has one that might as well be in my backyard, I haven't. Lately it seems like one part or another of theirs is constantly on the fritz. Right now it is coming down in torrents, their per hour flow rate is showing 0.00 and I think their 24 hr total is off by at least an inch.
I do have a limited one that does not do rain or wind, but the outside remote goes through batteries like water through a sieve.
