The last time I was there the Redding Pick-N-Pull was pretty good. Years ago Black Butte Towing in Weed had some good stuff but I think they've kind of gotten out of the business. You may be able to call and ask them if they have what you're looking for though.

Also try Viking in Redding. All truck and Auto is supposed to be good too. Haven't dealt with any in quite a few years.

None of the above. Just doing chores around the homestead. Not all bad; most of the chores are outside, and it's a pretty nice day.

No football, no racing. Packing up everything to get ready for tomorrow's bed bug spraying (can we say 4th time is the charm?). Not even going to mention how I feel about this since it is a family forum...

Happy Monday Nor Cal. Hope everyone has a good day.

Currently on my laptop at local Mc Donald's as the bug people spray my apartment, and I take the required 4 hour vacation away. Hopefully this will be the last time. On top of the first recliner I threw out, they wanted me to get rid of the plywood I put on top of the original table to give me more room. And the piece I used under the computer chair. So those are gone, and the lift recliner is back from storage, and covered with a California King sized bed bug proof cover. She said she would unzip it, and spray the recliner, then zip it back up. This time all the computers have been removed from the table as well, so she can spray the table. This better work.

Jim
