Haha I got a good laugh out of that laundry comment!

That load in the trailer is a load of scrap metal mostly from my neighbors property and then a bunch of metal junk I had here. Once my truck is all back together I take it up to the metal dump.

Hi Ken

Good morning guys, It's truck day today, I'm at one tire store getting a front end alignment and then off to another to get new tires! The disadvantage of owning a dually, you have to 6 tires.

To answer your question, Ken, yes, it's still smoky. Half of Oregon is still on fire, as well as half of north Washington, and I'm right in the middle of it. A small town at the top of Lake Chelan, Stehekin, is about to be burned out. A quaint little place accessible only by boat or float plane. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/us/wi...in/ar-BB1r6ziQ
While the air quality at my house isn't too awful bad, the haze is ever present with an undertone scent of soot. Here's last night's sunset.

Tasty Taco Tuesday afternoon Washington, Tim, Wayne Ken, Ken and all the crew.
I hope everyone is safe from the wildfire and smoke.

Rather steamy here today at 97°, index of 103°, bright hot sun and humidity is at 46%! OH, and a hot breeze!

Tim, I dropped Facebook about 5 years ago and July of 2020 after my second retirement I restarted a new page. In the last month I have been reconnecting with friends on Facebook even though I see them in person often.
I am looking at Deano Dailey and who's name do I see Tim Young, I click on it and I see Chelan, WA. I am pretty sure there is two of you with the same name in one place. Oh, I look and pictures and yep, Its you. LOL

I have known Deano for many years, and I camped many years before that with his Mom and Dad!
I helped Deano with parts for many years and helped him with wiring a couple of the Broncos.

The last 2 times I bought tires for my truck I bought 7 to have a matching spare.

The look of confusion on their face when I said i need 7 tires and 7 wheels was hilarious.

Oh and thanks Tim for the compliment on the tractor and trailer.

Evening Tim and Ken, Always nice to have new tires on. Seems to ride sooooo nice!

Ken, that is a nice tractor. Still can't help but think of Red Green or something with the laundry service!

I hardly ever get on Facebook. I have a lot of friends or I should say Bronco friends that I have never met, but we Early Broncos in common. Deano has a really nice Bronco, but we have never met.
