Stop in for a cup of coffee

If it doesn't work out I'd gladly take them off your hands. :lol:
I got them. My regular driver didn't need a signature. He knows I am old enough to ne his dad. Or may be his Grandpa! LOL I had to open a bottle for a sample. Oh my, it is good. I'm glad I bought 2. I see the distillery is out of it.

I see now, you had a close call my friend, tornadoes just to my north 3 miles and 3 to my northeast 8 miles, my cousins are safe, lost a green house and storage building. Three people died and I think they said 30 injuries.
It was a long 4 hours of it here because my granddaughter and doughter inlaw was down southwest Arkansas at a basketball tournament
Went to moms to borrow a generator. Saw all this along my road. Closest damage is power lines about 350 feet from my property lines. Damage path is right at 3/4 to 1 mile wide. Goes at least 10 miles . These are just what I took pics of along the road, there’s dozens of homes and barns scattered to pieces for as far as the eye can see. Wish I had a drone to get a good shot

Glad to see you are ok !
 
Want to hear something even scarier?

Ten minutes before this I was laying under my truck along side this very road fixing a broken u joint. It was perfectly clear and we had a 0 percent chance for storms. Then all of a sudden, boom . Made it home just in time to see my oldest (age 11) had huddled up with my 9 yr old in the bathroom with all the pets.

My 99 Cummins is finally up and running again.
 
Had my Dr appt today. All good. Said start resuming normal activities. Just ramp up on weight I lift. They want a CT scan April 1st. If no problems I should be cleared to go back to work April 7.
 
Its nice out. Not room in their shop ti replace ign switch. They will pull it in tomirrow morning,i can fix it then. Did diagnose a bad heater motor. I put ut in 3 months ago. Hope the replacement lasts longer.
Now im waiting for my brother to show up, to weld a broken part on his ice auger.
 
So been estimating my new shop. Instead of reinventing the wheel, I’m just going to clone the pole barn my grandfather and I built in 1997. 26x52x12(original is only 9 feet walls but I want a lift) right now, 6-7k if I build it myself.

My first experience with a pole barn was at the granite rock farm I worked. To begin with our equipment shop consisted of 2 40' refer trailers on blocks :rolleyes: NO SHADE! On occasion on them hot summer days, if the project was small enough I would drag it under the trailer to get out of the sun. Supervisor must have noticed. A crew shows up with a bunch of utility poles and corrugated tin :wtf:. Up went the pole barn, enough room for our tallest rolling equipment. Shade was welcomed by all. I was down in the yard doing my truck loading duties and supervisor calls me on the CB "Alex go up to the shop and help Jim, he's got a project." I get up to the shop, Jim's project was hanging a 4 point black tail buck from the rafters to clean that he had 30.06ed on the way to work that morning :lol:.

You were 10 years old in 1997, right? :poke:

:lol:
 
My big projects today were a ignition switch replacement and a high beam headlamp. The switch didn't solve the problem but I think I am on the right track with my diagnosis. The guy I bought the car from said it didn't have any spark cold. I need to test that and not just take his word for it. It may be leading me in the wrong direction.
