Bulls Gap just 40 minutes from us. 81 South straight shot.
I'm sure it wouldn't take much to get the good ol country neighbors stirred up enough to re-direct some trucks.
On our end replacement parts are being ordered out the wazoo, not because anything is broken, they're hoarding PT style.
And budgets are starting to turn loose, our order bank i heard depending on applications.......sales dude told me he's telling certain customers 6 week lead time.
We're bumping auto industry conveyors up to the top obviously. I'll just say Big Blue is getting ready to get froggy and leave it at that

That's balmy? Come closer to the equator, my friend. We have some balmy for you. 83 F & 82% humidity, nice and still. Luckily it's overcast & rainy so 90+ won't happen this week.

Sgags, that Placervile story is funny. I was just looking at a real estate listing out there, 2 lots total of 5 acres with a barn and a shop, no house though haha...not really in the market, just window shopping. Thats about 3.5hrs from here.
Any of you guys have torque specs for the front end suspension and related parts? For now I want to adjust my drag link slightly, steering wheel has been slightly off center. I might try to dial in a hair more toe in while down there too. The rest of the specs would be useful down the road, if I ever replace the shocks. If not, I can see if anyone in the reducer sleeve thread might know.

Central, closer to the Bay area(unfortunately). SoCal is generally warmer than here. 70 is probably even a little above normal for today on the coast. I'm one of the minority that actually likes when the marine layer, fog, low clouds, whatever they choose to call it is in.

Jersey... 80 something today. 50s at night. Might hit 90 tomorrow. At the shore where Im heading tonight.. generally a good 10 degrees cooler due to the ocean still being cold. Actually right now. 88 at the house. 78 at Barnegat light House.

Hell of day boys, Hell of a day. No painting. Manager dude said Scag man (they actually call me that, long story ) you're building Mag Carriers today
Oh damn that sucks..... Super Magnets. Tell you what you don't want any appendages between those things. Hopefully dudette would never say that. Break my heart.

That biker dude on the left; I keep telling my wife I'm going to grow my hair out like that. We watch Deadliest Catch and I tell her I'm going for the Wild Bill look. She's not a fan. My hair's not gray like that, but it's got some in it. I had some fairly long hair back in the day but not in the last 30-35 years. Glad I still got it up there to grow.

I was joking with the balmy and 19 line. 😂 We got a guy from Florida, Tennessee and Cali here so I can’t complain about the heat and humidity. 😂
