I have a leak in one of the transport tires on EQ and my r/r tire on the pick up is leaking, so I'm gonna get those fixed today. I'm sick of having to put air in tires all the time. I booked another show for EQ last night. We'll be in Van Buren, Mo. again for their 4th of July festival on July 2nd. It's a display and car crush if anyone is in the neighborhood. They'll have a car show, too, It was a good time last year.
We'll try to make it, got two cousins that live in Van Buren.

Well, the transport tire is fixed. I feel like an idiot that I didn't check the valve stem before I took the wheel off. The stem itself was ok, but there's a air/water valve on the stem that was leaking. It's fixed now. My mysterious coolant leak is back, though. I had a hole in the lower hose and I replaced that last year, but I see it's leaking from somewhere else now. Sometimes, I just can't win.

If it was easy everyone would do it. Alan stay motivated, I use you and your accomplishments in life as fuel to help keep my Ford trucking fire lite alot of the times. I am sometimes almost just ready to sale it all and take up stamp collecting or bird watching.

If Russia does a hard on record invasion of the Ukraine, there goes my next opportunity to work over seas down the drain. Northing worse than getting your TDY (temporary duty) orders revoked when you are packed and heading to the plane.

We stocked up on some last minute grocery's and food stuff I can cook on the BBQ grill if the power goes out. It is 42* and and temps are falling fast, the rain is almost sleety like already. Remember your outside pets...get them fur babies inside.

Been feeding this little fella for a couple of weeks now. Found home peering out of a old dog house early one cold morning while drinking coffee on the back porch.
Not sure if I will be letting him in to soon. I did pack his house with new straw this evening.

Ah yea you better leave that one outside. Meow meow kitty. And if you do have indoor pets you better watch them if they do go outside while you have a "big cat" out side hanging out.

OK, bobcat. All the bobcats I've seen were more jacked up in the rear. Live and learn.

He is a pretty thick cat. I broke out the laser it took him a bit till he chased it. Got him running the field but then he figured out where it was coming from and was no longer quite as impressed. I wait until I don't see him anywhere near the doghouse and I take him meat scraps, tuna and water. He always finishes it off.
I found a dead squirrel at the door of my truck this morning. I am going to guess it was him. As I left the drivewadrie was peering at me from the treeline.
strange cat.

I hope you do not have any regular house pets that need to go outside on a regular basis, since you have a meat eater crashing in your old dog house.

Well still raining and working it's way to freezing conditions. 38" and the wind is a crisp one. All rigs are either in a garage/2 covered shop end bays and or carport parked.

What a difference a day makes. From a beautiful day to ice & snow! Guess I'll be blowing snow in a bit.
