It wasn`t that big or heavy Steve, possibly that`s way it blew over. I shouldn`t have trusted the dinky little tie down pins supplied with it.

I've been hoping that a weather vane or 2 would show up at the auction, some times the fancy ones show up but I want one that was made up in someone's shop. Have thought of making one on my own so maybe that's the way to go.

Got all kinds of goodies for the shop and filled a gap in my tool supply, even picked up a 57 Chevy cop car for the collection. Most of the tools were new and were ones that I needed, added another sawzall to my collection as they are my saw of choice for most jobs.

Got my trustee status for my brother expanded and started the paperwork for guardianship and it should go through pretty fast as no one else will take the role or challenge for it.

Glad your tests were okay John, with my doc its mostly a case of me telling him what's happening and him booking an appointment. I've never had to wait more than 10 days for a specialist and the lab and xray offices are within a 100 meters of his office. When I need physio test it's in the same office as they do sports medicine and therapy.

Happy Freaky Friday Mornin'all. What a $**t show here today. Our Customs expert is on Holidays, and I'm all right filling in, but Had some value issues this morning. I hit the wrong button, and the driver was delayed almost 2 hrs at the border. I can't wait for this day to end. Thanks for letting me vent. Have a great day guy's.

Its supposed to cool down this weekend and stay cool for a while. As long as you don't get stuck having to pay the winner their millions the lottery is a safe bet, as long as you don't expect anything more than a free ticket that'll cost you a $1 for a chance at the extra.

That we did John, AC and cruise at 125 kmh all the way.
A few nice Ford trucks there, a 48 or 49 grain truck size with a 5.9 Cummings and a sweet 40 Ford pick up. Too hot to stay long plus my back was getting too sore and I didn`t take any pictures except of my favorite one, a really nice 51 Ford 2 dr ht.
