    Today, I.......

    This morning, for a neighbor friend, I Installed a custom made SS mailbox that was made in my shop. His old one was burgled by someone who had nothing better to do that day...

    Yeah.... I know... Sorta over designed...

    Disassembled our dryer and replaced the high limit switch.

    Mowed the front yard (mowed the backyard Friday...)

    Warched the P-car and the MINI...

    Treating myself to a cold brewski right now....

    I adjusted my ride-height today. Slightly raised the front. dropped the rear slightly, overall reduced the amount of 'rake', seems to ride a little better. There are just too many ridiculously tall speed bumps!

    Man I don’t know how you guys do it. I mean the snow is pretty but down here we are just not prepared for this much of it! Even if you can drive in it we have an over abundance of village idiots that can’t! Tomorrow I am scheduled to fly to Knoxville and back. I know we will never get out and if I do get off the ground no telling where I will end up!
    Oh well let it snow let it snow let it snow.

    I am surprised how well my 2 wheel drive truck has done so far. I just bought some tires that are mostly street but can handle some mud. I have even been able to get up my drive with it. When I first went out in it my neighbor with a 4x4 said call when you get back I want to see you make it up the drive. The ELSD works well. This is my back yard.

    I have 2 sets...one for snow]ice and the other for the rest of the year [Neo Gens]. The Neo Gens are perfect for Dragon slaying and did well on the track when I used to go there, but I'm too old for that anymore.

    Yes I'd like to go to MOTD, but I think it might be a little to far to drive. Hope anything works out with your eyes. My track days are spent at Thunder Hill and several other tracks like Laguna seca , but it's been a while. Besides it drive me crazy when someone gets in front of me.

    Yesterday was the full arm pain down day for me, insofar as recuperating from that second vaccine goes. Today is much better and I guess I'm back to about normal [whatever that is], with just a smidge of arm discomfort, so I dosed myself with what I hope are my last 2 500mg. tabs of Tylenol.

    Gee, I just cannot wait for the booster that Dr. Fauci thinks might be on the horizon in the next 6 mos. and the probable yearly Covid shots thereafter until I croak. I guess I'd better invest in some Tylenol stock.:rolleyes:

    I reconfirmed my reservation at Fontana this April, for at least MY part of MOTD. I'll be doing the Cigar Salon on the Porch, on April 28, from around 8 PM until everyone leaves. I'll bring the cigars...all YOU need to do is to stop by and have a stick or so. As usual, NO vapes or E-cigarettes.

    Fontana is open for those who want to go there but there are no organized events, like drives or vendors, etc. I have done the Cigar Salon since 2005 and this is my last year to go to the Dragon. My event is free to anyone who might want to stop by, chat after having made a long day's drive and partake in smoking some fine FREE cigars before heading off to bed. I'm happy to do it as I have tons of cigars, and because this will be my 15th Cigar Salon and MY last one. Anyone who wants to do it next year is open to do so, but this one is my final one.

    Exactly. Most places just keep it in the install price because there is usually a lot of wood around a shop just for that setup. It's not a bother for a reputable shop to get a customer to return.

    I wouldn't be happy with treatment like that either. Me I'd most likely write a letter to DT explaining how poorly I was treated.

    Even though the guy was a jerk I'd still rather go there than any Pep Boyz ever. Good luck Lee I hope it goes well.
