Good morning, everyone! Looks like another nice day today. They're kind of calling for the bad weather to be not as bad, at least the way I read it. Looks like my neck of the woods will get grazed but you may be in for something more substantial out your way, Pat.

Gonna go haul some cattle manure today while the weather is holding. Got about 23 or 24 loads to get this project done and I can get anywhere from 3 to 5 loads in a day. Today will probably be a three load day, though. Late start thanks to having to take the kids to daycare. That's the way it goes, I guess!

Will Pat need to fix the roof of the '67 or the ceiling of the garage first? Or both at the same time? I helped my BIL tear out his garage ceiling so he could raise his toys up far enough for his 6'5" frame to fit underneath.

I think we can officially call this one. Pat finished his garage before I finished mine. I'm not mad at that because that thing is looking good, Pat! Congrats!

Didn't take it to a dealership instead took it to a well known shop and they did a great job after they finally got the parts from a dealer. Now after a new spring on #4 intake valve and the new coil I put on on #2 cylinder this thing runs better than before, I'm thinking that coils been going bad for awhile now I'm not worried about getting it home but will check the compression on #4 when home and if it's low it will be a new motor. I priced a new truck and Ford in all their wisdom no longer let's you build a F350 Lariat DRW with a 8 ft box, the only thing you can with DRW F350 is a regular cab XL or a F450. Our trailer has 3600 on the pin and with my 50 gal aux tank in the box a short box SRW not going to make it. We really like the truck and it's setup the way I want and it's never been in winter or the coasts so I will just keep on fixing it and Ford can go pound salt. I do have a new list of spare parts and one new tool (spring compressor) that I will be carrying with me . I also upgraded the crappy Ford Sync 2 to Sync 3 about a week before this all happened so I already started upgrading the truck.

Good morning 'Braska...and...wandering enthusiasts...Happy Saturday #1...hope y'all had a great weekend!!! Prognosticators are threatening us with 4-6" of white crap tomorrow...will it never end???

Denny...wise not to take it to the big oval...you'd need a mortgage to pay!!! Looked at a new to me car about a month ago...after some intense negotiations we agreed on a price...then tried to tack on a $995 DOC fee. I told them I wouldn't pay any part of it...they refused to waive it. I got my keys and left. Before I got home...there were 3 messages for me saying they would drop the fee. I'm still driving my old car.

Hope y'all have a great day!!!
