I am not real certain....I only remember coming through the door later than expected and my wife tied my LEGGS around my head and rolled me down the stairs

That girl what a sense of humor she has

The sooner I never have to deal with the state of Pennsylvania, the better. If I never had to again it would be too soon. Ordered a document two weeks ago and they still are delaying processing the order.

Got a new top for the amigo Sunday. Has sliding side windows, bigger back window, and is black. Looks better than the matching red one it replaced. And not really all that much more than a new back window.

Two days in a row hitting 82 here today.

Spent the day in the blade tractor with the pan filling in holes at stock tanks. Has a really cheap truck seat in it with no suspension. Really hard on the back and neck. Like the particular task but not so much the equipment its done with.

Stan, tools plus sun equal burns. Tools, plus white plastic pail of water, plus foreforethought equal no burns. Learned that one a long time ago, leave the tool in the bucket til you need it, throw it back in as soon as you're done. Clean, cool, happy. Disclaimer: this technique does NOT work well in the winter.

Happy thoughts

Greetings,
The rumors of my demise are unfounded.
Been busier that a one armed paperhanger in a hurricane. I'm ready to call this crap quits. Missing out on scooter time and shooting.
Headed up to the northwest next week. MT, ID, OR, and WA for about a month.
Give me a hollar at bruce.lipe at cherokee dash corp dot com.
going to Helena, Lewiston, Portland, Tacoma, and Yakima.
Gotta get off, lightning getting stupid.

Shortround out

Thanks Lary. Just what I needed. Hope that you do not get overstressed this morning. Have a ph00, that should help you.

Made it back from Mexico City OK. The trip was successful. Really dislike going there due to all the traffic and air pollution. In Mexico this is known as Holy Week (Easter) and many businesses are closed and people head out of town for vacation. Due to that, Holy Week tends to have the cleanest air of the year in Mexico City. The air pollution was still very obvious, but nowhere near as bad as I saw in China. For those who do not know, Mexico City is located in a sort of bowl, so any air pollution tends to accumulate there. Traffic was better then normal, but still bad. Coming home, it took 1.3 hours to go from the center of the city to the outskirts. After that, we made good time. Glad to be home and back into clean air again.

A few days ago, added a dash light to the compressors that are installed in my toolbox. Drilled a 3/32” hole in the dash next to the pressure gauge and glued a small LED behind it. This makes it a close match to the yellow light for the A/C. It works well and now I know when the compressors are running.

Time for a coffee.

Brutal ice and snow with 45 MPH winds.
Made it home bucking even higher winds yesterday but no ice or snow.

Good luck on the dread mill elder twin.
Tie an ice cream pail around your neck and say its in case you hurl. Maybe use an empty one.
HAHAHAHHA

They were going to put me on the tread mill until they discovered I exceeded its gross weight limit. They rescheduled me for a dyno run instead.

Hey, I passed my test. Just got in from doc- - - he loved my numbers. Told me don't be afraid to enjoy a little "tasty" (emphasis on the "little") once in a while - - your numbers are envious. Better be - - I work hard on them.

We just ordered a new one - - with the adjustable head and foot. Should be nice, especially when the blonde wants to watch TV in bed.

Soooo, grab a ph00 and go enjoy a blueberry muffin. ...............
