A bit late ...

I didn't touch the truck, but I did some work on a 2000 Grand Am that's having a 'grinding' noise coming from inside the engine. Check the rocker arms and push rods and turned out to be ok. It might be a lifter, the cam shaft or ???

Took a 30 mile bicycle ride up through the foothills. On one of the climbs back, I came across a buck and 2 does. Since I was climbling in low gear, I was going slow enough not to frightened one of the does grazing on the shoulder of the road. I ended up getting within 6 feet of it. Also, came across a snake on the trail. I frightened it as I rode by it...

I also spent some time at a local rod show.

Then, ended the weekend at NewWestFest.
