working on my truck today and i'm still not done, i have one more steel hard brake line to bend up. one section i need to remove and double-flar one end of it (of corse its the one that is under the steering box 
you know what that means
) Yep! you guessed it....all because i did not double flar one end.
I sure hope all the work is worth it!
Anyone seen Mark? he has not posted in a few days.... at least not here.

Hey Bart
yea, work is a little slow, but i'll make good use of the time and work on the 66, afternoon traffic can be down right scary in the thing pulling a trailer. so it's time to upgrade the system to disc brakes.i do have kitchen cabinets and bath vanitys to refinish late january and a roof coat job and a exterior repaint in febuary, then more cabinets to finish, maybe a bedroom in there somewhere, if the customer calls back with the ok.

this has been good practice for when i do my 65 brake lines
it's getting disc's also, well there already on it, I just need the new hard lines.

Howdy Ariz. Getting too old to handle this cold weather. Thinking about Southern Ariz. Was looking at a map, grew up on a farm, not a city person by any means. Anybody there know the area? Saw a little place called Ligurta, outside Yuma. What's the job situation? Gas prices? Wages, taxes, ins., etc.? Lived in New Mexico for a while, still got that white shtuff on the ground there. Thinking south = warm. Doubt it ever happens to tell the truth, but I can always dream can't I

Mexico!
Taking my wife down Monday to get a crown.
just DO NOT go down there and ask for a dentist. only go to one who was referred to you by someone who has been to that dentist.
if you want to go to Yuma let me know and I will give you my dentist phone number.

Hey Pat, think about this..... 71 degrees today, warm and dry and no snow to shovel! What kind of work do you do? tucson has the cheapest gas prices in the state wages are Awful! taxes are high! insurance.... not bad (at least mine is not)
But there is NO SNOW AND BITTER COLD!
draw back, 6 months of 100+ deg day temps
southeast AZ gets perty darn cold in the winter though.

?as for warm you bet 120+ in the summer lots of humidity from all the farm land.
if I remember correctly Ligurta is just dry hot and some sage brush!
Interstate 8 used to be a heavy drug traffic route but don't know anymore.
I would recommend a trip out in July or August to see if you like it that hot!

. Last time I filled up here ( Sun. A.M. think gas was $2.50 something a gallon. Taxes this year were $1500 for the house & car. Great state of Misery has what they call " Property tax " where every year you get taxed on anything you have with license plates ( car, truck, trailer, house trailer, etc. ) & boats. You pay sales tax when you buy it & then get taxed again at the end of every year
