Joe, I cannot keep up with the OT, so I pop in every now and then and say good morning.

Hello everyone.

Look for a vacuum leak, possibly a rotted crankcase breather hose.

Lots of people checking in this morning. Hello Lisa, Dan, Joe, Matt. Sheldon, Pat, David, Mark. Hope I did not miss anyone. If I did it was not intentional. About -3 or so here this morning.

And Andrew. Sorry man!

I'll do that when it returns; I last saw it in the dark as she mashed the go pedal down. I'll say this about the Explorer chassis...they'll take some abuse from a lead foot wife; 134k miles and still running like a top.

Auto cad, yes!!! Only real restriction is height. Most counties in CO require the garage to be a foot shorter than the house, ..but you can cheat and grade the property in such a way that you can build a taller garage. I'd like 10-12' doors if possible so even the taller SDs will fit.
Yep, got butt texted 2 more times yesterday, AFTER the one I mentioned...lol I like the ones that say fgkjhakhakhgkhgkhgkhgkkgkgkfg..fgkjidfg. lmao

hmmm...10-12' doors will be fine, the price jumps considerably after 9' though. I have 10w x 9h on my shop. We'll talk details when your ready. Are you thinking pole building or stick built? I'm so excited..I love building with friends.

oh yeah...I actually wont drink much if at all till we are done, I'll need to be at my finest for this project...I'm thinking about a road trip to Colorado, about the only way I can get my truck with me and I'll need all my tools.

Too bad you dont consider B'ham close to home my friend. I got a 4000' shop to build up near the border starting in Januaury...Could use the help, assuming all the permits come through.

Good morning everyone! Supposed to snow here today, I need to finish up some shopping then I'm getting a 12pack of Corona and cleaning my shop out!

This last job I was on, the guy is a retired oil tanker captain, and was moving to California. He left me a few things... For starters, A black powder .45 kentucky pistol (which I have no idea how to use, Lisa, a little help please??) A chainsaw, large craftsman socket set, floor jack, great big *** Sony stereo system, the kind that belongs indoors...Well, I have a good stereo in the house, so its getting hung up in my shop! I cant wait...
Anyways, those are my exciting plans for the day. Whats everyone else up to?

Brent, I will call you this afternoon about that gun. I'd bet is a flintlock black powder...if thats the case they're pretty simple you just need some supplies.

For the shop, stick built, of course. I want something that'll be warm and easy to heat in the wintertime.
