Got a ram in today. Frame is so tweaked even my sophisticated measuring machine on the frame rack cannot make heads or tails of where the frame is supposed to be.

Beard is growing but I have to shave it since I still have to clear Ft Benning and then the retirement ceremony. Not sitting around either, I have been doing landscaping and other projects I put on the back burner. I am trying to get my projects done so I can concentrate working on the 79 when it gets a little cooler.

Mine works good too as long as I remember to take it on a regular basis.

Going to try and do a little more work on the daughters truck today and then visit a battle buddy that lives down the road.

A friend of ours has a 90's something Ford 4x4 for sale and I am in negotiations to buy it from him. I need another vehicle like I need another hole in my head but I think I am becoming a ford truck horder.

Not sure if I should try to work on anything the rest of the week, so far this week I broke the glass cafe' for the coffee pot and I cracked the fresh water tank on the wife's carpet cleaner.

Wife and kids are heading to New York on Tuesday, Grandpa is not doing so good and looking grim so my wife is going to up to help her mother take care of grandpa. She has not seen little man since he was 2 weeks old, she going to be in shock.

I hope you meant annual exercise

Never got around to working on the daughters truck yet, I have been doing some landscaping projects I had put on the back burner. 3 more weeks and I have to become a productive employee
