It took me 3 months to find our house, we had certain things we wanted at a minimum. I bet I looked at 300 houses on the internet before we found this one.

Today I restrung the lower pasture with 3 rows of barbed wire and put an electric shocker wire at the top. The horses aren't getting out of that any time soon. I also cleaned up a bunch of brush along our fence line. The weather was super nice and wanted to get it all cleaned up before summer gets here and makes it miserably hot.

I need to remember to order the carb for the 79.

I drove to Dublin to see my VA dr. My A1C level was way down vs high last time that means no diabetic meds. Plus I have lost 22 lbs since Jan. Got home and hung the new projector the old one died right after we dropped DISH, restrung the cable to the projector from where the idiot install did such a crappy job. Over a 1ft 1/2 of excess cable. Found out got to move the projector back at least 3 ft to fill the screen

ordered front brake lines. Measuring for fabricating my main rear line tomorrow. May also figure the shift linkage out, so it will shift.

The truck showed me no love today. After 2 days of trying to figure out why the new lock actuator was not unlocking the door found the lock cylinder was bad

Yes it is feeling much better, I have another check up and adjustment again tomorrow. I tried to stay up as long as a could and watch the race last night but it's a good thing I recorded it on the DVR.

I have the morning shift with the little guy and he is watching mickey mouse clubhouse and loving it. He kicks his feet and chatters up a storm, he is so dang funny.

Got the hydroboost brakes and steering gear box done. It don't take much to lock up the brakes. The gearbox took care of the sloopy steering. Found a tire rod end with a busted boot changed it out. Once the lock kit comes in I finish that up and start on the electric cruise control.
