Well on the bright side it is a new month on the legendary calendar! My cousin up on the hill rocking a big straw hat for the win!
Morning!
Cloudy and cool.
Back to work on the mercury, maybe it will run today, hopefully on all 8.
Getting scam calls before 06:00 in the morning really pisses me off.
Set the “silence unknown caller” feature. I have been getting lots of these calls lately,as soon as i put up an ad selling lebaron parts. Screw it. No more.

Morning dreamers!! Nothing other than the heat here again for another day or two.
Guys were here yesterday installing a door and frame and a couple screen doors.
I don't door doorways because those doorways can be a ***** to square and it was.
John it was the garage door leading off the mud room to the small garage got a screen door.
The doorway in that garage leading out to the patio got a new door and frame plus a screen door.
Looks great!!

That makes sense! I thought about blasting thru your place this last weekend but it was a zero fun event type trip. Plus I was just plain scared to stop for fear of losing a solid day to Gatorade and apple pie!
Haha well anytime you're going to or from feel free to stop in for a night or a few hours your always welcome!!

Yeh, it is. But looks like I will be working Saturday. So it's kinda like a regular week that started late...
Good Morning

@halifaxhops heres one in a 57 Coronet. Looks about right... Manifold anyway. Don't recall if it had those 'scalloped' valve covers.

Ugh. So much to do. So little time before Carlisle. And all I want to do is nuthin (except sit here and drink coffee)
Latest snag in the bathroom project -Trying to flatten out the wall where the door side of the closet was. The 'now extra' 2x4 in the wall is warped. Probably that way when built, but it didn't matter before. After I closed it up it was a big bulge in the drywall. I sanded out most of it. Still need to do a little more. Just hope I don't thin it too much that it cracks later. Should have ripped out more drywal and trimmed the stud flat. If it don't look right after my next effort, its getting ripped apart again.
Also not satisfied with the marble tiles I got for backsplash. Can see 'cross grain cracks' that would really suck if they open up after the vanity is in place. Picked up a few more of them to try. ...

Morning Tim, be sure and put some extra time in your travel budget for Carlisle. Not sure if it will still be a poop show or not at fuel stops but it really cost me some time this last trip. Every stop was a hot mess, I am guessing due to the holiday traffic so perhaps it may not effect you? Lots of stops also forced me to go inside for receipt, that was a pain, slowed everything down. Lines at pump was the norm, usually just a couple of trucks tho. Heads up guy

Sure seems that way. When do you plan to leave there?
How's the rib(s)? I still feel mine from months ago if I overdo it. Never figured out if it was a crack or muscle strain. Sure slowed down my Spring plans though.
My freaking rib is killing me. Leaving Friday early....hurts more sitting. Great....it is a good idea not to fall off a ladder......you have any idea how many ladders and poles I climbed and never had issue ? I guess odds catch up eventually...Sure seems that way. When do you plan to leave there?
