You can be right, or you can be happy, not both.

Good choice, and again Congrats. I wish you and your new family to be, only the best.


Sunny and 60 today, then 70 tomorrow and Thunderstorms for a couple of days. But at least it's finally warm out.

the wind has been strong around here and the temperatures dipped a bit. But it is sort of feeling like spring, so that’s nice.

Dave, I’m alive! The dog house doesn’t have internet. What I didn’t realize is that I’d somehow agreed to be there for family dinner night, and a dozen conversation topics.

its been a long but good weekend. Hope everyone can say the same!

Made it out to see Niko yesterday. Drove his old 77 some. Trying to locate the noise he has been hearing. Checked the fluid in the diff amoung other things and found it low. Correct me if I am wrong, but a 9 inch rear is supposed to have oil up to the fill port, or just below it, right? Transfer case fluid was full, if dirty. Carb seems like his biggest problem on the engine. It's got a bit of a stumble on cold idle, and just off the line, but it'll put a smile on your face from there on out. I was really impressed on the shape of the interior and the whole truck. Very clean stock example, for a 40 year old truck.

And now it's Friday. Oldest has a play at the high school she's in tonight. Catherine and the kids start spring break in a week, and we start packing up the house here in Fuquay this weekend. I get the fun of moving again.

Everyone's been quiet on the BS page. Is everyone too busy, or just got nothing to talk about?

Hey,Josh. I was told years ago that on checking differential fluid, that if you put your finger in the fill hole and feel fluid, it's ok.
I've been busy giving my car trailer the annual maint. prior to VA inspection. Clean and pack wheel bearings, brake check, replacing a couple of tires etc. Had a blow-out once along I81. Wasn't fun changing that tire. Never did find the light that the tire pieces hit...
Moving is always fun (not)

YES. But a few weeks and it will be even better. You should swing by and have some fine Carolina BBQ with us. Which reminds me. Need to get the ingredients to make some more of the Que sauce next weekend.

Sounds good. Wasn't sure in the 9 inch was a different beast than most.

Yeah, I don't know anyone that likes moving. I've been in this house 7 years, and have accumulated a lot of stuff. It's time to go through it and see what I want to keep\move. I'm guessing there is not a lot. Hope the weather stays nice for you.

Some say you should move every 5 years so you don't accumulate so much stuff. Wife says she wants to sell the house here in VA but, she keeps buying stuff

In know a guy from NY who moved to Walker Town, NC area. It took a while but, he got all 32 of his vehicles down there.
