In the pitcures the top one was Sept the creek was at the bottom of the hill now it nas moved in front of that cut tree. That is basicly picture. I told my grading contactor last night lets shoot for February . Down here rain suppose to start Saturday . The 15 forecast is showing 40% or more for half of it with 10 to 30 the rest of it. It going to take a week of good weather before he can get in there.
the new injectors for the Mazda will be next week, but may not be able to put tgem in for 2 weeks. A cysts has devopled on my back close to my shoulder blade they are cutting it out next week stiches will be in for 2 to 3 weeks. I am going to try and get the lumber milled for the flatbed today or tomorrow.
I found a deal on an 89 f350 dump bad manual with a bad 7.3 for 1k.It would be cheapest way to fix the 250. The easiest would be do a motor swap . Of course I would have to do it the hard way. There is a loan on the 250, the cab is better, the other truck is a regular cab. Now the hard part convincing Lexie to let me get another truck, when I mentioned it the other say she said you got 2 already. As I minumum I could pull the tranny pedals and column to put in the 250. That would get it back on the road. Then start stripping the other truck. Since it on facebook can not post it.

It's Friday !!
Too dang cold for me to play outside, currently 25 outside and dropping. I took a Gator around the shop yesterday morning for a test drive and about froze to death. Red oak is no joke even when it's dry it's heavy. Leaving the Cartersville store early today and stopping by the new store on the way home to check things out. They have a crew working like crazy trying to get everything completed.

I got the new 4 wheeler bearing in yesterday and will try to get them installed this week at work since they have to be pressed in. Went to the new shop and helped out there for a few hours. I laid pine straw over grass seed, installed storage shelves, some general clean up. If we don't get a ton of rain and it stays warm enough they can lay the blacktop next week and we can be open by the end of the month. It takes me a whole 20 minutes to get home from there, what a remarkable difference after driving from Atlanta.

I got the resistor in for the blower fan and I got the new rear tail lights installed. The next thing is a new rear bumper and covers. Still have a dent in the bed side panel but I will replace that one day.

If it did crease the dent it maybe pullable. Moved the mill up on the hill. I thought the we spot we picked was level, it was not. Tried out the new big saw had one huge pine that was in the way of the fence. 25 ft before first limb. My neighbors son counted 45 rings, I am sure he missed some.

The bed side already had previous damage and I was planning on replacing it prior to me messing it up even more. I put a roof patch on the motorhome roof yesterday before the rain came last night, Going out later to see if it fixed the leak. Seriously considering a 5 day cruise at the the end of October. Probably not going to do much today but hang out with little man. The wife lost 3 chickens last night to a racoon so she has been up most of the night trying to protect her birds.

The patch fixed the spot where the water was entering the motorhome thru the roof!! In the spring I am going to do some recaulking and then a complete recoat. For some reason the front roof AC/ heater in the motorhome quit working. It worked last month so I looked at the 12 volt fuses and 110 circuit breaker, they look good so I have to figure it out with my multimeter. The wife said she was fine with us taking the motorhome and going to the beach for a long weekend and do a big cruise when little man is a little older.

Since neither the heat or the ac work I am thinking it is a 12 volt to the thermostat issue. I will troubleshoot it later.
The service manager and the assistant didn't come to work today so I have been running the show. It was crazy first thing this morning but finally calmed down at lunch. I think I did pretty good handling everything by myself. It was payroll submission day too.
