GOOD MORNING NORTH CAROLINA
Off for the store shortly, I need some Apple Juice to spray my ribs down every 30-40 minutes or so to keep them moist. Then get the smoker heating up, and go under the new truck and get that Flowmaster muffler on there

Hope y'all have a safe day.
Behave

Unk Bob

GOOD MORNING BOB!!!!

And good morning to everyone else! Hope everyone is doing good on this nice cool morning. *****, the temp in the shop should be much nicer today than it has been!

Any body got plans for the weekend? Think Mary and I are going to get the Kayaks out and find a lake to paddle around, and may hit a junkyard up on Saturday. There's one in Selma that has a few things that I might want.

It's cheaper than having to "Bond Out".

Josh the temps have been nice compared to last week. My weekend is shot. I got family in the hospital over in Johnson City TN. and I am rolling out as soon as I get off of work tomorrow to take mama over there to see them. I am hoping for good news but ready for the worst. Personally I am not that close to them, but I hate to hear because she is a really kind and sweet lady. Just a bad situation I guess.

after a little MacGyvering to get it home (electrical tape the flexible equivalent to ducktape)... got it home and in addition to the clip not being able to fully get into the slot i found out that once i could the clip was defective too.. the c-clip just didnt have the strength to stay in the groove.. had some spares in the garage.. clipped it on and stayed.. drive into work today and its still where it should be.

I've had a pretty good afternoon. I've had local tire shops competing with each other, and have a smoking deal on the new Michelin's that are going on Shari's 08 Escape this Saturday morning., What started at being $1,070 with a 4 wheel alignment, is now at $883.70 The saving's from that alone, will buy me the running boards for the 2013 that I've found on craigslist.
Time for another
