Evening everyone!

The rain has been constant, but that's fine with me. I seeded some more grass down by the shop and it's nice and green, just shy of two weeks.

Planning a long day tomorrow. Got burgers for the grill for lunch..

Larry,
Nice score again, on the washer and dryer. The Mary has already informed me that my machines are too old and noisy, and that they will have to be replaced! I do hope it won't be a 1400 dollar replacement though. But I won't hold my breathe. Still the old ones will go out to the shop. The funny thing is I'll probably do more laundry if they were out there!!! You know, got to have clean rags.


Bob,
You know you'll catch more fish if you actually use bait, but the dang fish will interrupt your naps on the bank!

Shawn,

That bed looks beat! With it being a white dually, isn't it just easier to grab a clean white bed used? I know I've seen clean takeoffs on line for pretty cheap. The cab of course is a different story..

Very nice, took my obs dually out for a drive today and death shimmy started, so I guess I wont sell it till I figure out and fix whatever that is. Pretty sure its coming from the rearend tires or bearings.

I bet! My 1/2" is the larger frame one and that is my only complaint about it, my 3/8" is that size and it gets used alot more. I wish my 1/2" was that size.
