Morning all.

Well my weekend plans keep changing, but I think it's finally been settled that my buddy and his wife and friend will be here for the weekend. Next Sunday, Marty and I are going to smoke some meat over at his place in Apex. I think Wesley will be joining us. Not sure who else is though.

Spoke to Bob on the phone the other night. It was good to hear from him.

I got me a new box today. It was heavy.




Shame they didnt put some bubbles between the inner boxes and on the bottom.




There be holes and slots on the surface.





I went to get my cell charger. I come back downstairs to find this. Apparently my mom thinks shes funny. She wanted to know where i bought the fancy bowling ball holders.

New parts are nice and shiny there Shawn.

I don't think we could of had better weather this weekend. Sat out most of Friday and Saturday evenings on the porch. Got a busy weekend planned this weekend, just have to make it through the work week.

that they are... figured out what was causing the bottle of rocks sound when i pulled the old rotors off too... apparently the new pads i put on to pass inspection were wider pad wise than the ones that were on it before.. so they were riding on top of the untouched parts of the rotor grinding off the rusticles.. which also caused them not to fully grip the rotors causing the squishy feeling brake.. now its back to feeling like i have front brakes again...


was nice here at the beach too... got some fence work done too.. only annoying part was the wind kept blowing the dust in my face everytime i had the saw going..

You too James.

Anyone got anything going on this week?

Do we want to try to make up for the missed September dinner this week?

That bottle of rocks sound may have been the bowling ball you found on your rotors. I think that would definitely cause some noise.

I'm pretty much tied up every night and weekend this month. We have a crap ton of stuff going on.

Tis the season for college applications. My wife and oldest have been working very hard to cross all the t's and dot all the I's. It's quite a daunting process. She's focused on NCSU but were sending out a handful of others.

NCSU is a great school. Good luck to her on getting in!

I'm getting the bug again that can only be cured by another truck... Found a 2011 that I'm going to go look at tomorrow.

2011 White

And just for fun I looked up to see if my old truck was still for sale:
https://www.carmax.com/car/14643997

I checked and they gave me 31 for it, and put a new bumper on it! Though the weather mats have disappeared. Still... that's not much of a mark up.
