April fools chat thread

Happy April fools day.

We made it to Wilmington North Carolina today to pick up the bucket van. They let me drop my trailer there. We are on the beach today. The kids are happy.

Headed home tomorrow.

Not too bad. I'll be glad when this damn wind goes away. 50 mph gusts here yesterday, it was a bit ridiculous! But, temps haven't been bad, 50's and 60's. At least I can get out in the garage and work on the truck now!

Slow! The wife is working a ton of hours, so, I have to be her and me this week. Haven't had much time to play. Did get some time in on Sunday at least. Hoping to get the new front axle back together, and on the chassis soon.

Had some trees cut yesterday and broke my tractor. Who needs a tractor when you have a F350? I used it to drag the trees off.

My Saturday was interrupted. I had to go to Homer to work on our F450 bucket truck. It is an 07 6.0. It ended up being an easy fix. I had to replace the fuel pump assembly.

Now I am way behind on my stuff.
