Well I just finished watching the race myself. Not exactly thrilled with the winner but at least its not JJ. Kinda of a boring race for Richmond and a night race too!

Good morning boys and girls.

The race was really boring. Kyle is my next least favorite next to Jimmie. At least I ended up 6th. Should help with the points chase.

Nice to see you check in Miles.

Good morning Mike. How did the work on the Chevy stuff go?

We are heading out soon to spend part of the day at the Como zoo.

Hey Mike, I put Monroes on I have had good luck with them in the past so I went for it besides I had a credit at the parts store that pretty much covered them all. I also put in a new steering stabalizer. The ride is much better and even so much that my wife commented on how much better the truck rode!

Have fun at the zoo Jay! We usually get there at least once a year. Always fun!

Evening everyone. Wind is finally dieing down.

Went up to Park Rapids to an auction yesterday. Was back up bidder on five tractors, but did not buy anything. Pulled the trailer up for nothing, but if I took my Chevy, I would have surely bought somtehing and had to go all the way back up there.

That is how it always goes.

Hey Jay, got my old rotors all turned for you to try. If you want, we can throw them on at my place, I have all the air tools, and try them, if not I will get them to you or the way it looks I may even get to stay Friday nigh at the camping GTG, but not sure yet.

I put in my brakes and rotated the tires. Know the truck wanders in the front, even more than before, but tires look good.

After reading Troy's post, what does a bad steering stabilizer feel like?

Possibly a wandering front end.

Good evening Steve and Lee!!

Hey Lee I knew my stabailier was bad cause you could see it leaking. I cant say that my truck wandered but it may have been a little and I didnt notice cause the shocks were so bad. I dont think they cost to much so it might be a place to start. Do you have any play in your steering wheel that you can tell?

Well since we all like pics here are a couple of what I hauled today.

Just take one end off and see how easy it is to move in and out!

Lee, I will look you up when we get back from AZ to try out those rotors. It is a little better since I took my brakes apart and did a little grinding on inboard pad on each side. They were really stuck in there. But I would still like to try those rotors just to see.

Nice washers there troy. What ya gonna do?

I don't think the stabilizer will affect wandering. It's more to keep the the steering more stable as you hit potholes and such.

Hey there Steve.

Hey Jay I also own a pressure washer business besides the towing one. All the washers I got today are sold. I had a good week as far as sales go but that is how it goes and then it will die off again. It is a good thing I have both or it would be tough to make it in this economy right now.

Nice washers Troy. We have one like the smaller one in the center, can't recall the brand off hand.
Counting down the days! May 8th will be a good day. Done for the year, I'd be just as excited as if I was getting a BTS! lol
Drove that white pickup over the weekend, ended up not taking it this week. Haven't gotten title switched and it has expired Florida plates. It sounds great to hear 40 psi boost.

Hey Thomas I bet you are looking forward to the weekend! I wish it would have worked out that you could have made it to the GTG but there will always be another one! Probably wise not driving the new truck till everything is all legal like. I bet 40 psi does sound awesome!!

Well guys I am outta here tonight! Catch ya tomorrow!
