we had snow back on 9/22...last few weeks though warm tropical front's pushing up from Hawaii have kept our temps oddly warm for this time of year with lots of rain.

we should have hard freeze's by now and possibly snow by now...

Thousands of cattle and beef prices will probably go up too.

I chainsawed a bunch of limbs off trees around our house, pulled out the back seat and filled the entire back of my truck. Then after I was done, just vacuumed it all up and made her look all pretty again.

Well.... I am experienced in ball joints so not terrible just dirty and took awhile since I was back and forth with turning the rotors and what not. Front end press did the job with some grunting and new ones sat in the freezer over night so they went in smoothly.

Well worth it to do myself compared to the $1200+ a good shop wanted here. Now just waiting on the shop to finish the alignment up.

Not too the X but caused because of the X. Spent the last two days gutting my garage and cleaning it out. Full load for the scrap yard, full load for dumpster and/or the recycling center. Once I gathered all the catch pans I had nine 5 quart containers full of various old fluids. Scrap pile contained 10 rotors, 2 sets of leaf springs, countless sets of U bolts and so on....other goal was to make room to get 2 zero turn mowers and a couple cars inside before winter hits (when needed) along with the X.

I'm having to do the same thing to make room for the '05. The 7.3 won't fit due to the lift, but the '05 fits and will have garage privileges.

I've moved a few things out of the way, but really need to clean out and rearrange the garage altogether.
