Sounds good bob!

It sure is starting to feel like summer, they're calling for mid 90s here this weekend.

Last night we took a flying trip to Goldsboro to see my wife's little brother, and cousin walk across the stage. We made it to the school and in the gate just before they locked it at 7, I think we pulled out of the driveway about 5:35 and back in just after 10. Needless to say I wasn't happy when my alarm went off at 4am.

The kia stayed in Eco mode with the cruise set on 80 though.

I for one, am glad it's Summer. Not nearly as busy as Spring is. Think I'm going to plan some weekends at home for a while.

For around 300, I may have to do one as well. Though the real sweet thing for the BBQ on the beach was the dual probe thermometer with temp alarm, it let us know when the grill was too hot or too cold and when the meat was truly done.

It really went pretty quickly, I thought.

I like a "Deal" so I'll wait until I can snag a used one in good condition.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING NORTH CAROLINA

Hope everybody's doing well. I made me another craigslist run yesterday (Imagine that), and snagged me a decent deal for a jack for Ka'Bluey. I got this here in town, for a $20 bill. I found them on line on sale from $50 to $60.

Tony, there was one mounted on the back of TJ at the Badin Lake Campout.

Great jacks, just a little unstable. They make an adapter to hook under standard bumpers that I have for the F350.
