Morning all.

I've been relatively busy this morning. I went and filled the diesel can up and topped off the tractor. After leveling up the 3 point lift arms, I set out to try and get caught up on mowing. The back yard and the frontage along the highway is done. After I climbed off the tractor, I realized I had set the mower higher than I normally do . It was probably better that way because things had gotten pretty tall.

If the weather holds, I'm going to attempt to move some vehicles around and get some of the areas around the house that eat lawnmower blades for lunch.

As our fearless leader and grand poobah of dent-side parts and wisdom said - stay hydrated, it's warm and humid out there.

Yeah, at 9ish on the way to church it was "raining cats and dogs." It's still raining some but not that hard.

Well we got around and headed up to Cole Camp to pick up the shuffle board. Got rained on some of the way up there, then it quite and got HOT. We loaded it ran back over to Lincoln and ate lunch. Then back to the house and un loaded it, so more stuff IN my shop and LESS room for anything else. The Bronco still fits, so its all good.

As far as the pool shed, I got the last T&G board put up and the top trim piece. So all the interior large boarding work is done. Still have to window and door/corner trim, but that is after the floor gets put down. The SIL needs to come up and hang the mini split ASAP.

Bj I have a "A" ish frame, more like a H frame, big enough to hoist up a 79 Bronco body and frame. I backed the trailer inbetween the uprights and cable come alonged it up. I have unloaded a truck bed (415lbs) before, and other heavy complete engines. Alan used it to swap a (66?) truck body onto a 80's (?) Bronco frame. Light enough that I can load it on my 16' untility trailer (by myself) and NOT have to take it apart.

Has HD caster to roll on concrete and or hard dirt. Bummer that I am so far away though, but you are more than welcome to borrow it for how ever long you need it. Well with in reason, lol. I think Alan had it a few months. Also have a elec 110V hoist/winch that you can use.

Said Bronco, I got it for the 10 pt roll cage it had....

Well good evening
Haven't been on in a while so had to catch up. Went to pomme couple days to get most of my personal belongings and one boat. Then to Kimberling City to put the boat on the lift in the dock slip. All is going well with the new home purchase. To the point I feel something is bound to go wrong soon! We close this Friday. Noticed couple new stars in the windshield. Went to Safelite to have them fixed and was told they won't fix if theres more than 5 stars. Wanted me to buy a new windshield. So I bought a repair kit on amazon and fixed myself for $15. Atch glad you're feeling better. Rich sounds like you're making good progress on the pool shed! Maybe we can get together next week in Pittsburg next week. I forgot to get dims and pics of the carport. Rainy dreary here today so did some body work on couple pump panels. BJ that sounds like drainage from your retaining wall since its so clear. Maaybe you can temporarily splice in an extension on the surface to see if its coming out of the pipe..Will talk more in June!

Dave sounds good on getting together in Pittsburg some time next week. I think the rain forcast is calling for rain tomorrow, but the rest of the week they say no rain and just hot. Hang in there on the house deal, it will go as it is going and work out for ya no matter what.

June 1st tomorrow, link to it here. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...hat-it-up.html
