We went to dinner at a Japanese steak house for our 44th Wedding Anniversary and then went to my 12 year old granddaughters first volley ball game.

My shop is in full sun and it gets too danged hot in there to work. I bought a mini split last fall and finally got it installed. This sure ain't nothing like throwing a window unit in...:eek: IF I had been thinking ahead 3 years ago, when I finished the interior, I should have framed in for a couple of those. Anyway, this puts out 19k btu of cool and it drops the temp in there rather quickly.

Yes, congrats on the 44 years. Not a lot of people stay together that long anymore.

Scary to think if I was still with the first one, it would be coming up on 52...damn, that makes me feel old. I like the 32 with the "right one" better.

Mark - Both cool vehicles. The Suburban looks really clean, especially underneath.

I went to a pretty large car show yesterday. Took my 12 year old grandson. Tons of cars, lots of sun, and I didnt take a single picture. Oh and you guys will love this, his favorite car, a weird three wheeled single seat electric car. I told him I was going to hang my head in shame haha!

That car is kinda cool, so no not that one. Its this one, but a weird peachy color. I was thinking about it though, maybe he gets it from me. I really dislike this one, but I really like all the funky show rods from the 60's and early 70's. Boothill express, Monkey Mobile. Plus the car I bomb around in the most is a Fiat 500 convertible. Ok maybe Im being hard on the kiddo LMAO!

Finally put in the led light for when the fans kick in . I bought the light years ago at Radio Shack it’s been in my center console for who knows how long still in the cellophane wrap .

So today we spent an hour walking around the MN state high school semi finals trap shoot.
It's held in Alexandria MN at the Shooting Sports park. I'm guessing today there was kids and family 5000 plus people. During the meet there will be 8000 plus kids trying to make the state finals next week.
Hundreds of shot guns sitting around. No one hurt.

Trap shooting is some good wholesome fun

Cool day of shooting sports! Those are the kids that were brought up respecting guns, and for the most part, their elders. It makes a difference! I never had trouble on a range with Scouts, except for a couple who thought they were ace marksman and shot too fast. :eyeroll:

Found my tick in the Chevelle was driving me crazy this morning decided to do them old school and run the engine . Took the cover off put the half cover on and it wasn’t ticking on that side but the passenger side was . I investigated further and found the valve train is making contact with the cover . Doubled up the gaskets and it’s all good now . I could have used a die grinder and shaved it these are thick aluminum units but the gaskets were easier. Both sides had three touching

It doesn't take much contact to make it sound like big problems.

Larry, whoa. You are in much better health than me if you are the one doing all that work. I am a couple years younger than you but can no longer begin a job like that.
