A new month is here!!
Getting closer to my vacation time! I am so ready for some days off.
I also bought a new helmet while I was at the dealership. Didn't ride it this morning because it was late when we got back home. I am half tempted to go home at lunch and ride it back.
I decided to wait to ride the bike and glad I did, there are thunderstorms all around us.

We are going out to land today. Lexie is not fully grasping why I need her to go today. I am bush hogging the back half of the perimeter at least 750 ft off the road. So for safety just in case. something bad happened. Also get her out of the house.
The driveshaft is becoming an issue for the truck. Yesterday went up to Johnsons spent about an hour searching thru 3 piles of driveshafts with no luck. I am going to see how hard it would be to move the center bearing mount. Then look for a longer rear section which would be easier to find cause the 3 third u joint is on the the rear shaft.

Sorry to hear you are having issues getting a driveshaft.
I got my helmet and stuff together to take the bike for a ride when I got home from work. Little man says daddy you look awesome, you look like a motorcycle man. He is so funny. OMG that bike is so fun to ride. Tons of power and rides so good. Ordered me an Army riding jacket.

when you do things Ford did not just got to go with the flow. Good day at land today, the dogs loved it. The bigger of the 2 we use to have to drag her in the car now that not a problem, now she jumps in she jump on the side by side then jump off. Lexie was ready to come home at lunch. All she did was sit. She thinks she has to worry about the dogs keep telling her no they are fine out there

Came home at lunch and got the bike, man that thing is so much fun to ride. Mowed grass around the house till it was dark. Need to go into work tomorrow for a while because I have customers coming in to get there stuff. I'm not staying for the whole day. I need to do some grading to the driveway and got some rock and then the 79 is the next thing on the list.

It rained bad at work for over an hours but not a drop at home. It was dry before I headed home on the bike.
The Harley dealership in Cartersville called be back about a bike I called about on Tuesday, told him I bought a Victory Jackpot. He said even though I didn't buy a Harley I made a good choice.

had someone come out to estimate replacing my windows in my home. All 1977 originals. 11 of them, quite large windows. I wanted to do it myself, but I aint got time, and their price was decent. lifetime warranty, good reviews on windows. Financing that allows me to pay it off easily by December and not hurt my bank account.

What in the heck is wrong with people now a days? Hello!! It's not cool to shoot innocent people. Getting off my soapbox now.
I finally get a cool motorcycle and all it does is rain.
but looks like towards the end of the week it will be OK.
Went into work yesterday for a while and it was busy so I'm glad I was there. Me, the wife and little man went to our favorite wings place in Rome after work and tore them up.
We have double hung thermal glass windows and they are great.

Looked at the beach cam in Panama city: https://pwillys.com/beach-cam/ Nice and dry and sunny out so now I'm really bummed out. I tried to talk the wife into going down to the beach this weekend last week but it didn't work. Yesterday at the wing place my wife had the waitress say: Welcome to Shuckums. Shuckums is our favorite place to eat in Panama City.
