One more signature on Ka'Bluey's dash this evening. Willie, thanks again brother for coming out and visiting with Shari, Tim, Rocky and I.
This dash is priceless to me. Tony, any chance of you getting this way REALLY soon and sign Ka'Bluey's dash???
I made a trip to the bank after speeking to the carrier that is picking up Ka'Bluey this week, by Friday.
This one sounds like the real deal!

I wish I could, Bob. Put my name on there so you don't forget me...lol.
It was a privilege to know you Bob and I'll miss you at the flings and gtg's
Needless to say, I'll always remember the G-String and BBQ Tray stories.
Have a safe trip back home.
I wish you and your family the best......

Thanks Tony, I do appreciate that.
Charcoal is heating up for the smoker. I've got 3 slabs of baby back ribs I prepped last night, for dinner tonight.
Hope y'all have a good day.

Spent until sometime early this morning drinking beer and putting my buddies truck back together. He picked the new engine up from the dyno about 530 yesterday and we spent all nighy throwimg it together in hopes he could make it to the race today.

Went to fire my truck up this morning and it wouldn't hit at all. Realized it had been over 6 months since it got fresh fuel. Drained the fuel and dumped in some system cleaner and fresh gas, truck fired right up and bounced off the Rev limiter a few times. Gonna load it up in a little bit.

It sure was.

Well I made 2 passes tonight.... kinda. But it did load itself back on the trailer.

I lost the front axle on my second pass, definitely took out the passenger side inner/outer/joint but thinking it may of popped the spiders too. Also only have first gear currently, no other gears at all... including N or R, everywhere I put my shifter is in first. Damn thing was on a roll though, and it put me in first place at the time, but two other trucks ended up inching me out.

Good morning everybody.
Well the heat is on, the a/c was on yesterday, it's like being back home already.
My cell phone has really about had it. I'm getting text messages hours, or even a day later according to the time a date in the message. We're trying to wait until after we move to get new phones since we'll get new numbers anyways.
I heard from the transport driver late yesterday evening. He's in Missouri, and will drop off Ka'Bluey at my buddy's shop in Sparta this morning.
Y'all have a good day.

Larry. Sucks about the truck. Still sounds like you had a fun day. Now it's time to build what broke better.

Bob, we know you are just ignoring us.

Y'all know better than that.
I'm still using my Galaxy S5 that's past being ready to get rid of. The screen is toast, all of my pictures had disappeared this week, along with maybe 1000 song's that were on there. At least I do have a file that keeps my pictures, and the music I have on my computer.
