Yep! really wet day. I enjoy the rain except it shows me where my trailer roof is leaking again.

Here is the pass that I broke the front end on, she threw some flames when I was bouncing off the rev limiter.

Rained all day here. Not a lot but steady. Still, it was a good day for some shop time. Legs are feeling it today. Stupid desk job has me out of shape.

I didn't have to strap on the waders to get out this afternoon, that was a huge plus. I hope everybody did well with all of the rain that we've had.
I made it to the Post Office, and put in our change of address, and I have the shut off date for cable, and internet for the house here in Apex, and an install date for the house in Nixa Mo.
Even after telling the numbnut with Time Warner that "You don't service Nixa Missouri" half a dozen times it was still a pain in the butt to get the service here shut off.
We went with AT&T Uverse at the the new house, and dropped the payment almost $70 a month for the first 2 years, and snagged every channel that we could get.
Moving sucks, so why not take a deal on the entire package.

Y'all have a nice evening.

Unk Bob

Got home from work, and it was obvious the AC wasn't working right. I checked everything I knew how to check then called a buddy. He told me a few more things to check then drove over, diagnosed it, made a temporary fix, and toped off the Freon. Then didn't charge me a dime, he is also going to see if he has the control panel to fix it in one of the units they have at the shop.

Hey anyone got any oak or other, more flavorful wood around? My BBQ stash has started running low and I think I need to smoke some more next month.

You've got quite the selection Kevin,

ive also been doing yard work non stop. Well one short break to r&r the carb to disassemble and clean on my push mower. I've still got my front ditch to tackle, but I'm happy about how the rest of it turned out. Gonna run the fence stuff I took out a while back down to a friend, then hopefully I'll be back out to the shop this afternoon. Truck still isn't quite ready for paint.

speaking of push mowers, anybody need one? I've collected a couple of extras over the years. I've got a real nice toro to get rid of, just need Toro through the carb as it sat in gas for a winter.
