Good morning Rod, Steve.. truck seems to be running fine Rod. There must be a flat spot on the threads, when it snugged up I stopped and with these damn bifocal glasses I did notice before putting the protective cap over the connection. It wasn't until I started taking it apart again that it was obvious..lol

Joyous July one Steve, John and all the 4th of July Dixie crew.
John, glad the problem is solved, and you are on the road again. I understand the Bifocal think, I have progressive lenses and sometimes there is just no getting where you have the perfect view! LOL

Steve, I hope all is well with you and you family on this start to a new month!

Morning Rod,Steve..I tried those progressive lens Rod and had to take them back, couldn't get used to them and felt like I was in a fish bowl. I've been thinking of going back to two pairs of glasses as much of a pain in the backside that is..in the meantime I'll curse the pair I have...lol

Morning John, when I went form single vision to bifocals, I went straight to Progressives. I didn't have any problem adjusting and I don't even notice them now unless I am trying to look into a tight spot and get focused! LOL

Good evening John, Rod and distinguished visitors.. I like my progressives.. Don't mind bifocals either.. I only need readers but lose them all the time thus the other 2 choices..

Good Tuesday morning Alabama, Steve, John and all the Dixie Crew.
Today will be another nice day but on the hot side at 90°, bright hot sun, a breeze but the good part is humidity <50%.
Glad to see you back Steve and I hope you are doing well. In 2 days is the 4th of July and too many people will be losing fingers, toes and maybe a nose. So, remember, lay it down, light it and run!

Hello Steve, not much happening where I sit either. I had pinched a nerve in my neck which I am still being bothered by. Lost most of the strength in my right arm but slowly coming back.I go for a couple MRI's in August..

Evening Steve and John on what has been a really nice day. Hot sun and we made 88° and a light breeze. The humidity dropped and that made the day outside really nice. This evening shaould be exceptional as well.

John, are you still using the sling for your neck? I knew the arm will come back slowly as the inpingement lessons.

Steve, the only news in my woods is, I have retired for the third time as of last Thursday. I am no longer a Sammich Maker LOL! Now the Dreaded Honey Do list is starting to creep in. But I expect it won't really rear its ugly head until next week because this being 4th of July week.
