Thinking about throwing something on the smoker Saturday, probably pork. Add some beans and tater salad, mine's different than most peoples. Then spend the morning cleaning up the front yard and possibly the afternoon pulling the bed out get it cleaned up. Probably set that up on the saw horses on the tennis court to work on getting it cleaned up, and maybe primed this winter. May have to get another spray gun though, as the last one I let a friend use, and he just kept cranking it up and up, since he couldn't get it to spray right.
Imagine that, if you don't dilute the paint it won't spray right out of the gun...

I've had the smoker going since 7 this morning. Prepped a brisket yesterday that we bought early this week. When you have a day planned to work on the truck bed hollar if you need a hand. If there isn't anything going on here I'll lend a hand.

I tell you a few years back I had to replace the speakers in my Audi, they originally came with a Bose system which was top notch, but 10 years of metal had left them buzzing whenever the bass hit. I replaced them with Alpine brand from Crutchfield and they sounded as clear and loud as I ever remembered the Bose speakers sounding. The price was not too bad either around $100 a pair for component system (front doors) and $75 for the 3 way backdoor speakers. I did not replace my sub but I sure would be willing to add one if my car didn't have it, it really helps fill in the bottom end and saves some wear and tear by you not having to crank the bass up as much on the other speakers to make up the low side.
I'd like to do all four doors, the tweeters in the front pillars, and a sub never hurts.

Well, got some good news and some bad news. The bad news is I developed an exhaust leak at some point this morning. The good news is the truck sounds awesome.
Hope yall have a good weekend.

I'm planning a day on the truck on Saturday, and I'm bribing with food from the smoker. You busy??? That goes for everyone!

Well, it looks like it works on this end.
Shari's cell phone does way better video and audio than mine does. We have the same phone, but mine has been dropped, thrown, bounced, slammed, etc.
Hope y'all like it.

They usually do have good prices but what sold me on them was their complete instructions along with any adapters or connectors that you need, saves trips back and forth to the auto parts store or walmart, etc.

I've found them on sale for $15 but never for $10 (when I was looking!). My daughter worked at Lowes, in tool world, and got me a nice expensive one. I told her please take it back and save your money I'd hate to destroy one that cost $89 and the way I beat them I'd rather destroy the cheap ones, so she returned it and got me a pretty awesome rechargeable drill instead
