Good Morning Everybody!
RC. Great news that you're feeling better. Coming back from double pneumonia is a marathon, not a sprint. I hope to be down your way next week to start working on your truck. (that's the plan, anyway)
Dave. Yeah, I need to be careful, because now I'm flirting with being too tall when it's loaded on the trailer, ...but my new transport tires are smaller, so I should be fine.
Today is the day the new axle gets slid under the truck. I may be working under a tarp if it doesn't dry out some. I'm waiting a few extra minutes to see what it does.

Not much going on here other than one nasty headache I've had from the moment I woke up this morning...

Morning folks, long day at work...another one today I am sure.
Alan sounds like you have been busy, just be safe.
Joe I'm not to sure (as of today) of my schedule/availability as far as JY laps this Friday, I have to be in Nevada (fri by 4:30) for the grandsons 1st baseball game of the season. And he starting pitcher....
Dave...so all the above so that means that I will probably not be around the house on sat. But should be on Sunday?

Good Morning Everybody!
Yesterday was one of those days. I had to fight for every inch of forward progress. ....literally. It took 3 1/2 hours to move the new axle 10 feet to it's spot under the truck. But it's under there. I got about half the rear suspension done. I hope to finish it up today and go pick up my new drop box if it gets here. I shipped it terminal to terminal, so I have to run up to Strafford to pick it up, but it saved me $100 on the shipping costs. It's coming together. I hope the axles were the hard part and goes pretty quick from here, because it needs to.

No worries Rich, I was thinking about not coming down on Friday anyway. Enjoy the game, that is way more important.
Since I had to go to Branson last weekend, I picked up the gun and my youngest has her play Saturday and Sunday, so I think I will stay home.
It looks like ran Friday afternoon as well.
Come on Alan, be a man and just shove that axle into place.
I can't imagine the effort required to move that stuff around. I need to see Earthquake in person sometime.

That's cool, Way back when in the 70's I got to spend a week at the Oak Ridge National Labs in TN. Our team designed a reactor core with the rods there and then monitored it for 12 hours. when we all looked over the edge of the reactor pool we all said we felt the radiation hitting our bodies, Of course the gieger counter was going nuts. It was definitely an experience. Not sure they did much background checking back then but you did not go anywhere on the grounds without the proper badges.

Almost forgot... They've gone to a new level of paranoia at work this week. They decided to move half of the mailboxes we use to store our radios and personal items (cell phones mostly) while we are at work inside the secure perimeter. The other half are technically already inside the perimeter. Mine was in the group moved upstairs. The move isn't the annoying part, banning cell phones from coming in the front door is. All phone now have to be left in your personal vehicle while you are at work - no exceptions. 2/3 of the year this won't be a problem, but the heat of summer in a locked car will kill a phone if you're not careful. I guess I'm going to have to start taking a small cooler of ice, put my phone in a dry bag from the canoeing supplies, and stash it in there this summer. Another fine example of everyone being punished for a small number of stupid people's ignorance. I guess having someone's powered-down cell phone in a locked cabinet is just too big of a risk to the safety & security of the institution.

New starter on the ol Dodge fires up like a super champ. Dave what time on Sunday works for you, early afternoon? I will show you want to watch out for on the Dodge starter, so you not wind up needing one sooner than later.
Folks this week at work has been a tail kicker for me...I need a break... so I am thinking about taking the tube buggy Bronco to Rush Springs Ranch this sat with the son- in- law and his Razor. https://www.rushspringsranch.com/off-roading-co0a
Joe with enough advance heads up notice warning that we need to make a JY lap, I can get on the calendar before the Mrs has me booked up driving all over and doing all kinds of this and that that, that is not Ford truck related. lol
Unk Bob get a house yet? RC how are you feeling, hopefully way better. Alan I bet it looks good, hang in there. Jonh T chopped a cherry tree?
