Hi Pete

What's the forecast for this Saturday?

Hmmm, my quarter drive torque wrench probably has the range you need.

Hmmm, another reason get my tools out of storage at my brother's house.

I'm working OT this Saturday, if the weather is nice I guess I can go get my tools that afternoon/evening.

Hmmm, I could then make a Sunday afternoon trip to Ikea in New haven, then all you would have to do is find my truck.

Remember, you are looking for the Hay Stack and not the Needle out in the Ikea parking lot.

Matt, the van is doing well.

Unfortunately, daughter was playing matchmaker and the Expedition kissed the guardrail, don't know if this was the Kiss of Death, haven't received the prognosis.

She didn't get a scratch, there were no riders with her, and no other vehicles involved.

Now she knows the true limits of her Talent

Pete,
I have a 1/4" drive torque wrench that reads 20-200 inch pounds.

When do you need it?

Jim I'm not 100% sure on when I'll need it yet. It depends on when Clay at Riffraff has a John Wood VB to sell me.

I'd guess late December or so.

Hi Dave!

Yes, we should.
Work is slow right now so let me know what works for you and I can make the time.

Sorry to hear about your Expy.

So long as you don't mind me having it for a fair bit of time. Like I said late December is probably more like when I'll need it but if you'll be this way I'm happy to meet up with you.
