Same here Fred. We had a heck of a snow squall blow through that turned everything white again and stiffened up the mud. Frost heaves in the roads are getting the suspension loosened up in my new truck.

Good morning friends, *censored* CC on a normal Saturday morning at 3 i'm a sleeping drunk :lol: .
The weather was nice Thursday and Friday but kinda chilly this morning, I had a very productive Friday as I did change out the axle tubes and springs on the camper ( old #5,200 rear tube was bent on the slid side so I upgraded to #7,000 tubes ) and got some new rubber, You were right HB I changed my mind and ordered the second tube on Wednesday :yes: .

( never mind the overloaded jack stands :o ) I just have to change out a broken zerk fitting, adjust the brakes, and replace a leaking wast valve then I can scratch off more from the to do list.
Have a good weekend and a safe up coming one as well.

Robins are everywhere, weather has been great, rode the motorcycle to work 4 days this week. Supposed to be almost 80 today and drop back to cooler weather with rain next week. Taking an old parts SeaRay to the landfill to join all the wind mill blades..... Got people coming buy to buy some of the take offs from it. Other then that, spring cleaning continues. Enjoy mud season everyone.

Morning all!

34 and windy here this morning. Had a few days in the 60's this week and one day in the upper 70's! :o I fear that Air Conditioning season AND Mowing season are close buy. :no1:

Today's big chore is pull the transaxle out of the car so we can send it off to be rebuilt. Hopefully we can get it all back together before Spring ends.

Stay happy healthy and safe everyone!

Mernin! Thanks for the coffee! When will the bacon be ready?
Outside thermometer over the last 24 hours shows high of 83 and a low of 29...dang!
Outdoor boiler is putting away at 165 degree water temp. I let the Kodiak die after 2 days not tending it. 78 in the house id too hot. Fired her back up this morning.
Got a pork butt ready and on the smoker by 0800. That will probably be for tomorrow.
Spent yesterday replacing a hydraulic hose and the alternator on my 7753 Bobcat. What a chore that alternator was! I feel like someone beat me with a baseball bat. In the words of Danny Glover, "I'm too old for this *censored*!".
Enjoy the weekend all!

Back for more coffee...
The Wife's new job has her on location rather than remote.
So my hours get weird...
Crash with the kids at 9 pm sleep 4 hours crash again at 4 am up at 8 am...
Only got 4 hours Thursday night because she was up prepping 40 pcr test packets for work...
So lots of extra work doing all the reporting and getting the completed test off to FedEx...
Time for me to get the Scallops from the day boat...
Going to slap a couple of oysters on the grill too...
Need to make some space in the garage
Looks like a new to me AA-130 will be joining the family soon...
