They balanced up nice. .75 on one 1.75 on the other.

Had a super cool day today, we went to Berryville Ark and stopped in at Wilson Combat and then hit Nighthawk Custom. Two of the absolute premier gun builders in the US. I should have left my wallet in the truck, ouch. Then we stopped at Saunders Museum which holds one of the finest firearms collections in North America. Plus cool stuff from around the world. Great day! Travel safe all y’all.
So, wheel bearing was easy.
F250 exhaus manifold- one that will go down in the book.
Truck came in hot. Maniflold off,new one back on and the new manifold absorbed heat from the engine. It was hot as i was snugging up the nuts. All said and done in less than 3 hours,breaks included.

I think it only took about that time to put the headers on my 390 F100. I was young and semi flexible back then. Just climbed up the fender and copped a squat on the inner fender and went at it
. Dropped right in from the top. Another 45 minutes to fit the reducers, glass packs, and turn outs and weld them up. Took me twice that to get the left side header on my Swinger 
Well. Maybe helped one guy and the other doesnt seem to really want help. Oh well.
Got the window sill done . Will repoint after the rain, and need to buy woodto make a new apron.
Finally caught up with th egardening too. Collected parsley and lettuce seeds, and pulled the string beans that are no longer productive. Some still look OK - maybe I'm being too hopeful. Turned a bunch of weeds under in case I get some self sowing from the dill or parsely.

Only a couple more days until Mopar Maxx 2021 in Cedar Falls Iowa. For those of you on the fence about going I say take the plunge and go! It is a blast and honestly a well run event. The Company is borderline no question, but the car show and racing is top notch. The pay out ain’t bad either!
A little far for me. At least this time of year.....

I would like to see some of this old stuff in person. And one of those gianormous morse stationary engines running.
Me too.
I didn't know about this. Not sure of Ray and Keith are close enough to make last minute visit but figured give them a heads up.
Check it out Frank.
Its actually permanent museum with events throughout the year.

There is a antique tractor show this coming weekend at Antique Acres just down the road from the drag strip nd our event. One event is about going fast and the other is about going slow. LOL Love the antique tractors, steamers, and hit and miss stationaries.
The Keiters go to that one each year and bring a few old tractors with them Matt
Dam that looks good!
I didn't sleep worth a crap last night. House goes on the market today.
Realtor buddy was over yesterday taking the pictures and doing the paperwork. Just another step. I knew this day would come. It's tough, been here 31 years, lots of good memories.
The housing market in this area is crazy. Nice houses are selling fast, and for more than asking price.
Hopefully Sunday night we have multiple offers and we're picking a contract.
The new place is a great looking house that we're turning into our house.
It's exciting times for sure.
