Maybe not. Weather guessers are saying Sunday should be sunny. I'm happy for the little breaks in the weather. Otherwise I start quacking in my sleep.

Yeah, as much as we need the rain, sometimes it is too much.

HUD passed the unit, so I will be moving in on Monday (Unless it rains)

I think you may be clear for Monday Jim. Not looking too sunny for Tuesday though. Better make it quick.

Especially with a little help from my friends.

Congratulations Jim. Im sure you're excited to have your own space again.

Why is it that I can never find my pickle fork when I need it? That thing has legs of its own..

Jim,

I'm glad to hear that you will be in new digs soon!

FI460, it's probably still in the jar of gherkins from Thanksgiving.

I should have looked there... I just went and bought new one instead though.

Managed to crush the grease boot. Tie rod says it's not coming out that way though...

Happy Sunday Nor Cal. Hope everyone has a blessed day.

Sorry to hear about your truck problems Rick. Maybe a bigger BFH?

Jim

Just finishing breakfast and waiting to see if the streets thaw out a bit before taking off to do some errands. It's nice to sit down with the family and share a meal together.

Still working on trying to find my garage/storage unit and reorganize it along with research for a new project.

Hello all, been a busy December here. Started the cam swap in the 302 thats going into the 60 last night, swapping in a comp cams 270h. Think I got a good deal, $1500 for motor and C4. Looking at picking up this 70 next weekend as well, only problem it it is not white....anyone need a roll bar with lights and side steps?

That was exactly what I needed. I moved it over to the concrete where I could lay on my back and get a really good swing at it.

New steering box and new winch today though!
