Morning all. I miss the heat already. Big ribbon cutting ceremony today for a local project that has been years in the making and took 2 years to construct. Hopefully this will move some of the local events off and out of the downtown. Might actually get the boat wet this weekend...

Good evening Ford Fans'.
I stopped at Costco on the way home and picked up a 13'x13' popup shelter, it will be a nice addition to the camping gear.
And finally got around to fixing my air compressor.

Good morning. Not raining here at the moment. I’m hoping to get some work done on my brush guard. I need to cut off the expanded metal sheet so I can wrap a strap around the tubes to try and bend them back. Hopefully I can get it bolted on the truck this weekend.

Morning Jim, Evan and.....
Jim the power bill is automatically debited from our checking account so it's paid. But the power outage could have been another mylar balloon incident.

That would it! While I had little to do with it, one of my Project Managers did an outstanding job of getting it done. The event turned out nice and the rain held off just long enough.
No boating today, to much to do at home. Spent several hours on the tractor mowing until I got too wet. Hope the boat runs tomorrow since we're going to see if we can find a springer.

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Some scattered showers, nothing too bad, just wet enough to foil some outside work I had planned.
Going to have to run into town tonight and get some fuses. Developed a short that keeps blowing the 15A trailer lights and ABS (same circuit) and the under hood 25A trailer package fuse. Haven't had a chance to trouble shoot it yet, but I'm pretty sure it is in the trailer wiring harness. I may have hung up on something pulled a wire when making a sharp turn that really crimped the boat trailer around. Also need some trimmer line and few other odds and ends. Debating on doing it tomorrow, but if I do it tonight, then I'll have it here to work with first thing in the morning.
Going to take a lot of heat and pulling on the bottom one. Might be better off having at least the top one replaced. With that crease, it probably will have lost most of its structural integrity.

I think the brushguard needs a bit of tweaking...

Thats kinda what I’m thinking. I might try to bend them just to see if they’ll move. Most likely I’ll keep the very top on and the vertical ones but replace the middle and bottom.
