I worked on my final officer evaluation this morning, it is a real pain in the butt and takes a while to complete. I have to have one in at least draft form in order to start clearing hopefully next week.
Little man didn't sleep real good last night, must have had a tummy ache or something. mommy was up most of the night and is now sleeping so I have morning shift, maybe till noon or later shift. I was hoping to do a few things outside before the heat and possible rain kicks in later.

If you want a posi in the Ford, its fairly cheap to do, and most carriers like Yukon and Dana supply a whole install kit. I did both my trucks for under 700. Dodge was actually more expensive to do

Ford Engine and Trans are in the truck. This week the accessories will get added, Truck get to running, and driveeshaft will be lengthened. Then I can fab the exhaust up and start making the bed.

My dodge now handles like a ****ing dream, and stops on a dime thanks to the big brakes I just finished. Now all thats left is the one-off hood im making then the Dodge will be ready for paint. Then hopefully not far behind will be the Ford. Then maybe I can shoot them all at once

Sounds like everyone been or will be busy. I had to go resume a friends jeep. He wax driving back from the VA he got to Jonesboro and a caliper locked up and he blew a radiator hose. I found out the PS pump 9n my truck may have problems. Hard steering at slow speeds and brakes hard at times and not stopping good.

Yea that sounds like a weak power steering pump.
So Friday I go running around town with the wife, we have little man and my wife watches a friends infant when she has to work. So we go into Walmart to get a few things and I have little guy and I am pushing him in his stroller and I am pulling the buggy with groceries. The wife is behind me with the friends kid in the buggy.
We get to the checkout line and the young lady says: Oh are you here shopping with your Grandson, I smile back and say no this is my son. My wife was right behind me and tells the girl: Yes that really is his son. Then she says with the most serious look: He also had this baby by another woman. The look on her face was priceless and I thought the young lady was going to pass out from embarrassment.
We did the dramatic pause for a minute or two and then my wife said, this isn't his baby but that really is his son. That was hilarious!!!!
