Hi Josh. Visit went real well. Wet coming down on Friday. Took a lot of back roads to avoid high traffic areas. Saw a lot of old vehicles along the way down and back. Hyco Lake is pretty. Our pup (chi mix) enjoyed playing with grandson's dog (Lab mix) they got along fairly well except when it came to food....
Did you get a request from sxgriff to join the Chapter? Need to know so I can collect my commission
Have to make another trip without the wife and dog but, with the truck and trailer to check on a couple of finds...

Evening everyone...

Been stupid busy around here, did get our metal roof installed, next project is going to be a master bathroom overhaul... probably gonna start picking up stuff for that this weekend I reckon. Got to get in with that so I can switch my focus to tearing Ol' blue back apart again.

I’ll have to check later on today. Things here are crazy this weekend, with the nieces and nephew staying over for the weekend. I finally have test subjects to try different recipes on. The first night I did a sort of sweet Carolina style pulled pork. Depressingly, i was told it was my best pork butt to date.

also, my beef stew is ‘bland’...

weve ave had a whole lot of rain lately, so I’m not surprised on the traffic.

Shawn, sorry to hear about your dad, hope he’s feeling better. What kind of work are you looking for? There’s not much of anything up in the area you are in.

nothing really in particular... id just like something where im not dealing with the public... (no customer service).. i just wanna go to work... do my job and come home... dealing with co-workers is one thing.. but after doing CS type jobs since i was in HS, im pretty much sick of dealing with people... biggest problem im running into is everyone wants exp but dont have the exp for the decent paying jobs...

That's about right. Gotta have training or experience for most decent paying jobs. Thought you were a welder. Are you not certified?

Thanks, Josh

Forgot to mention, that when cruising NC roads, that I didn't see any stop or road signs with bullet holes in them.
Not like VA where shooting at the signs seems the norm..

Why not use a chain binder?

This way if you need to remove the chain it is easy and you don't need to deal with turning that thing you have LOL
BTW nice job on the cart
