we had record rains from Fed Thru Early July. Since about Carlisle, we've not had a single drop of rain since. Things have gone from over wet to extremely dry here, corn, beans, what little got planted, are hurting BAD.
I would love to chase her around the bedroom naked....

Hey bartender!
I'd probably just sit there and apologize to her.I would love to chase her around the bedroom naked....
She offered her honor so I honored her offer and all night long it was on her and off her!
We have Lake Michigan water here...
When our house was originally built, it had a well... Our well is 60 foot deep with a 30 foot water table...
However I'm less than 7 miles from Argonne National Laboratory where they had the Manhattan Project... When it was over, they buried all 7 reactors in the forest preserves around there... One of them is under a lake and they buried it with cement walls and a cement cap on top... They found out many years later that the radiation leaked out into the lake... They had to drain the lake and make a concrete slab, then concrete walls, and finally cap it in concrete.... The radiation leaked out the bottom.... Doh!!!
So I suspect that the radiation has contaminated the aquaphor by now and there may be radiation in our well...
Luckily we have been converted to Lake Michigan city water now...
Me too.... I believe that the planet goes through cycles with the weather etc...

Dude that painted my car was friggin relentless. Worked all day and was out there in the middle of the night pulling the tape off. LOL
In all fairness though, the 'final paint' process was probably a month. That's going back to doing guide coats to find every little blemish. Then prime the whole thing again, sand more....etc

You mean you believe in Science?
Yes, having a mechanical engineering degree does that to you....

You got a permit for that?
I should cut the neighbor's grass today, but it's rained here so much since Saturday I'm not sure if it will be dry enough to cut... It also looks like it may rain again...
Need to see if I have a bolt for the trans shift linkage that goes into the frame for the bracket on the left side.... The last person to work on the RoadRunner sure was a hack and did a **** job... They left the bolt out for the shift linkage bar.... Then only put one of the original the trans mount bolts in and the three other bolts that they put in there are too long and two of them have nuts on them which don't even get to the frame before bottoming on the threads of the bolts, and the of the long bolts doesn't even have a nut on it, just the bolt... WTF????
This is why I like to do my own work... Some people just have no business working on cars...
I may start another section for my how to rebuild a small block series in the How to section... I finished up one yesterday that I started this weekend... So far I am up to installing the rings on the pistons, now I have to write the next one to install the pistons in the block....

Nutless...
Nope. Will probably be an issue down the road.....no ****...You got a permit for that?
I think he should volunteer to do mine...
It is not hard to paint. The prep is the tough part. Get the right sprayer and paint system....correct compressor, air dryer, and have at it. The one thing, if it looks bad before paint, it will look worse after paint, not better. Paint will NOT cover bad prep work. Opposite.I think he should volunteer to do mine...
How to adjust the settings on the gun for a good spray is another thing that I need instruction on....

Bring it to Hoppyland and paint it yourself! Give Ray a reason to clean up the shop.I think he should volunteer to do mine...
@halifaxhops He put in at least a several hours organizing and start cleaning before I got there. Then I cleaned the whole thing again. I think he keeps it a mess so nobody else can find anything in there. He couldn't wait more than a day to pull my car out on the lawn and messed the whole place up again!
