Stop in for a cup of coffee

You know, I was mowing my lawn earlier and I ran over a piece of garden hose that was hidden under the growth.

It made me think, why not engineer a sprinkler system that is suspended and sprays down, from 8 to 10 up
 
Morning!
Was a long day yesterday.
7:30 in shop, 5:30 in house for dinner,then back out at 7:00 to do some more vinyl on the garage. Another wall done by 9:30. One wall left.
 
Replaced control arm bushings on a torrent yesterday,if anything i made it worse. Now the noise is concentrated in the column,and i need to figure it out. Like the telescopic part is stuck.
 
Morning guys. You guys out east have any storm damage? Sounds like Dave had some issues last night.
 
So here is a quick non political very family oriented view. As many on here know our boy is an active full time Police Officer. And as I work for a firearms training company I am intertwined with many LEOs (law enforcement officers). We compete in matches Together, we travel together, share hotel rooms, and keep each other safe at all times when standing in the presence of a dozen armed individuals that we don’t know who come to our classes to learn how to shoot fast and accurately. We all have husbands,wives, funerals and births everyday. The part the media is not showing is these very same people including our son are working incredible long hours and are going to the ER a couple times a week during their shift or at the end of it to get patched up for the cuts bites or results of whatever Projectile they got hit with during shift, from bricks to water bottles, not counting the wrenched backs knees and arms from tussling all shift. All the while maintaining their posture poise and professionalism. These guys are exhausted and have little gas in the tank as they watch business owner after business owner approach the mob with food and water to support them in a vain effort not to get burnt out. One of my best buddies had to get hard core patched up again this week, my boy is expecting the birth of his child in about ten days and is juggling moving into his first purchased home with the help of his VA loan. During the emotional chaos all that brings he is pulling 16 hour shifts rinsing and repeating. Are all the LEOs perfect, absolutely not. But the great majority just like every one of us mask their personal views on a daily basis and go to work and be professional and get the job done. Rant over.
 
Morning all. We had our share of big wind and rain go through last night.
Its normal for us this time of year.
Alert on the phone only goes off for a tornado warning, because sometimes we don't hear the siren.

My hat’s off to these people,doing a job i would never consider doing. In these days of late, even moreso.
How they maintain their sanity is beyond me,dealing with criminals and victims constantly has got to wear a person down.
Demonstrations, fine,make a statement, riots? Not acceptable. This drags a lot of good people into a huge mess.

I was thinking about him the other day. Tell him to keep his chin up, remember his duty to serve, be professional, most important be safe, and this too will pass.
 
Whats up when you let a car sit? Worked on the pop a bit yesterday. Cleaned up that side of the shop to get a sun cabinet out. What the hell let me hook it up to the wall scope. Ok do it set the engine up notice fuel pressure dropped from 6 to 2. OK fuel gauge is now not working maybe out of gas. Pour in a few gallons no change. Freaking fuel line looks like it got chewed through from the tank to the pump. I really am going over this whole car, brakes are like a rock with no power, were great before, every thing new, even the rear disk set up. etc etc!:BangHead::BangHead::BangHead:
 
Note to self from last night. When finally finished with all the crap that had to get down, I through some brats on the grill for me and the boy. Stood outside talking while flipping them. Didn't think about being barefoot. Apparently all the popping you hear from the lava rock, also at times, throws little chunks out if the lid isn't closed. Stepped to flip - wow, crazy pain in left foot. Yep, one of those pieces, melted into the skin. Had to grab ahold of it and pull. Instant blister - only pea sized, but just off the ball of the foot. Hurts to stand and walk now. All Tony the Tiger like - Great! Wear shoes..
 
Morning

decided I’m gonna call a different dealer and get them to look at this Durango. I swapped the other three actuators out last night, still no AC on drivers side.

Ouch!
 
Good morning, starting to gear my mind up to be a working person again. A couple girls from work came out to the beach, we had a good time, I got burnt, will I ever learn?
I am on the hunt for wiper frame/blades for the Fury that the hood edge won't interfere with ("hidden wipers.") The originals were tossed before I owned the car. All the plastic ones in the racks are too fat to fit into the recessed area. FCBO hasn't been much help.
