Broke out the old girls for a spin today...

Wife took 3rd put of 5. First place was 13.8 she did a 15.5. I made a 13.0 pass in Ol'Blue. I'm having shifter issues (still) with Ol' Blue. I guess it's time to replace the B&M shifter I've been running for the last 10 years. I had the shift light om it second for over half the pit because the shifter locked up.

Good Monday Morning every one!

That's annoying.. Well maybe we'll get to see some of it.. which reminds me, best to dig out the welding helmet early, so it's ready..

Had a blast saturday. Rifle started off further off than I thought (i'll blame the rifle for that) but started getting it closer to where I want. Some other friends showed up and didn't get it to where I wanted it to be. But I'll make another trip out in a couple of weeks. Can't decide if I want to take the rifle again, or go hit a private range and start working with hand guns.

Ended up staying the night, and working the tractor Sunday morning along with some other odd jobs around the farm. There is always work to be done there. Got back Sunday evening to a nice quiet house.

Ya'll be good!

Just checking in, looks like y'all are staying busy.
More storms around here, this has to be the wettest August that I can think of.
I spent part of yesterday under a shade tree in Ozark, fishing on the Finley River, waiting for the Fire Chief to get back from a meeting, so we could have a meeting.
Y'all behave!

Glad to see you are getting some R&R in Bob.

Got to see the partial eclipse, no issues with clouds here. Got a busy day scheduled, dentist at lunch and helping Butch with a parts truck after work. Should be a long and tiring day. That'll help with a good nights sleep.

We're doing pretty good!
Shari and Tim are each staying busy with work, and me, well I'm trying to keep busy. I've snagged the dash that I needed to do Ka'Bluey's dash swap. Then I can work on getting the dash with all of the signatures on it, mounted an a wall.

Y'all behave
