If you have brain farts all day, you'd be classified as a genius in Calgary.

So far the 3 people in control of my brothers transfer have created an unactivated bank account for him and have managed to lose most of his original copy financial papers in order for anyone to get paid. The biggest genius lost the papers somewhere between her desk, the photocopier and the trip back to her desk.

Good evening folks.
No chance of finding decent used tires Perry? Around here it`s hard but they do come up once in a long while.
Happy Friday back at you Grant....I really wish it was Friday then I could stay home and out of the heat tomorrow.
Hello Gerry, Colin and John.
Still very hot and dry here Gerry: http://globalnews.ca/news/3629499/sa..._campaign=2017 and http://globalnews.ca/news/3629236/ra..._campaign=2017
What`s involved with the TV cable adjustment John, a trip to the transmission shop or you can do it yourself?

I'll do it myself Morris, you have to use a pressure gauge on one of the side ports on the transmission and adjust it at the carburetor, instructions come with the Lokar kit, if it's not done right the transmission can be toast in as little as a couple miles

I heard that some had to be set right or the transmission wouldn`t last.

Good evening gents

Glad that I don't mess with automatics, it could become an expensive experience.

This guy that scraps RVs sells rims and tires starting at $75 and up to $175 for the combo, people around here don't mind selling and running dry rotted tires with broken belts so that would be the starting point in price Morris. I've got to replace the rears so thats whats making it expensive initially. My fronts I'm really picky about and I've got a set that are hub centric but I set them up with cone nuts and tighten them on with the washer nut.

Happy Friday Mornin'all, for the 2nd time. Still staining, I really hate doing this. should have got the plastic casing, and moulding. the natural wood looks good, but is a lengthy process for me. It's hot here too, and the humidity is really high. Have a great day guy's.

Good morning all

We're in a bit of a hot spell with warnings, caught up with me yesterday as I had these duallies and drum to mess with, made for a 3 hr evening nap. Sure don't like it when it goes over 27c let alone 33c.

It looks like we get our corner to the main drag dug out this weekend, we keep getting teased as this is part of next years work but crews get sent here to prep it. The lack of rain has these guys ahead of schedule right now.

2 days ago I decided to replace one of my front tires. 8 replaced studs, an inside axle seal, a hub and brake drum on the rear duallies I am now going to actually be able to start changing the front wheel. The best laid plans have a tendency to go awry around here.
