No you need to do a 180º on that. I just need warning
so I don't have a Dr apt and most of those tend to be
the first of the week.

Just give me an idea on the when an I can work it out.

Will do, USCG is still ordering parts, more than a month out. Honestly I'm only available Thursday-Friday most weeks.

I haven't been doing diddly squat. A guy on here named Matt who lives real close by is going to tear apart the Carter I have for my sisters truck, once it's rebuilt, I'll throw it back on and retune the motor, hopefully it will be in good working condition. I'm also still working on getting gravel. Yesterday(Sunday) I had the perfect chance to get gravel with time to spread it, then I realized the Quarry I go to was closed...

Being closed does tend to make it a bit more work.
Nothing like a gate to slow you down.

I'm ok with waiting that whole "procrastination" deal is taking effect. I'm also waiting on a small amount of money from my work, a bonus of sorts that we get at the end of the fiscal year. That paired with my tax return and mounting paychecks should allow me to get a jump on ordering parts. The first being a steering box.

I'm thinking of grabbing a rain barrel tomorrow, 50 gallons with this weather should fill no problem.

Mathew did really well on the rebuild of my Carter. I got it mounted up today and tuned, the Jeep is running pretty good so far. Tomorrow if I have time I'd like to try firing it up again to see how it starts cold.

Thread I got the idea from:

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...shop-****.html

I finally finished this project last night with my Husky LED and stand. If you don't have the tripod stand it isn't as necessary to go as far as I did. I wanted to still be able to use it so I drilled to wholes and used nylock nuts to hold in place. I also needed a stud or way to mount it to the stand as the original handle was to short. I ended up cutting the head off a screw 1/4x20 3" , cut a slot to insert it and used blue loctite to hold in place. The stud is now 1.5" inserted with about the same out for the base of the light.

Been a long time since I was actually up there.

I moved into the neighborhood in 1990. For the 1st year or two, the Roman's casino was a supermarket. I think it was a Tradewell? When I moved here there were 3 Supermarkets nearby. I live closer to the former Skyway Market/AH Drug. Both are now history. The AH is a dentist and the Market is a Church. I also live a couple blocks from Dimmit Middle school. I've seen lots of businesses leave the neighborhood since I've lived here.

Sorry. The way you worded that made me laugh.

Skyway is not exactly prime real estate. It is also a unincorporated section of King County.
