What did you do today not on your truck...

[Boog]

My BIL once caught the lime disease. He was in the woods a lot deer and turkey hunting, etc. Doctors had a tough time figuring out just what was wrong with him. Tick had long been removed. Fact is he is a heart patient and they really thought he was dying of heart failure. Took him a very long time to recover from it.

[special-K]

When it first came about doctors had no clue. some caused more harm than good. My ex-wife, who is a nurse, got a bullseye on her leg and doctors at work poo-poo'd it saying probably just a spider bite. I said, "Spider bite!!?? That can be very bad. There are spider bites that rot your flesh". I was more concerned than the doctors. It got worse, she got symptoms, doctors started figuring out this is serious, and she was put on a pic-line for months on antibiotics. I'm not sure that got it all. I think she still has some issues

I have had Lyme disease. It is no joke. My wife bought me some leggings to wear as I am always out in the woods. I have no stock in this company but they make tick repellant products right here in Maine. I got the gaiters they work

Thanks for sharing this.

I am a Gadget guru for sure.

So these Socks are of interest to me.

1st Question I have is ???

When/If you wash them ??

Are these a One time use.
And then spray with bug repellent after that?

I am interested for sure

Vegetation removal

[special-K]

I made this picture frame out of old dresser drawers to mount this old REO ad and give it to my friend with a '58 REO that originally had a Gold Comet V8

EDIT: stupid computer insists on showing my picture sideways. picture taken with camera not a phone and loaded onto laptop not phone and it is upright in my folder. This picture is my second attempt after editing. Still sideways

Talk about contrast. We have one guy in the northeast where vegetation is lush, a job to maintain, and he is loving it all. Then we have a guy in the southwest where vegetation is scarce, plants struggle to grow, and he is burning what little there is

Thank you. I think people can figure it out. I even edited the picture to spin a 1/4 turn and it still posted the same.

Well, weeds grow, like weeds. It's coming up on monsoon season so I am getting prepared.

Threw a big party. (Not my idea) My wife’s friend just got her degree so she wanted to throw her a party. 30 or 40 people showed up. Cars were parked all over the place and for once they weren't all mine.

My wife hired a DJ and when he cranked up the music it was LOUD. I figured it would be about 5 minutes until the cops showed up. But to my surprise nothing happened. My jerk neighbor didn’t even complain. Everything went well.
And my “Public Nuisance’ lights were on too. Go figure?

[Steeveedee]

Maybe you put a scare into him. A guy with a lot of friends has a depth of field for resources for dealing with problem people.

Have you seen him lately?

Nope. Not a peep since I put up the fence.

I don't know if he would be scared of my friends because this was my wife's party and it was about 80% women. Maybe he's scared of girls?

I invited some of my single friends and they all hung out in front. What a bunch of lames. The girls were all in the back. Now I know why they're still single.

They probably know better than to try to get anywhere with a woman when she's with a whole group of women. Although the wise will tuck his man card away and jell with the girls in their topics of discussion to gain some ground.

Trust me. I'd be jelling with a bunch of single women at a party if I was single. Or at least I'd give it my best shot.

Got up at 4AM for work. Was pretty draggy (not sleeping well because of neck/shoulder issues), fiddled about, showered, headed off to work, only a mile away so no commute. On the way over I popped a couple of caffeine tabs, 200mg total. I don't drink coffee and Ive sworn off energy drinks, but still need a picker up some mornings (like today).

Pulled in the parking lot, looked around, don't see any of my teams cars, that's weird. Looked at my phone to see if in my sleepiness I left too early. Well yes I did, 24 hours early. Turns out today is Sunday, I don't work on weekends, Mon-Friday only.

And Im wide awake lol

[Warrens69GMC]

Been there...

[best view]

Thought you retired

If thats for me, I did, but I actually liked working there and was able to get back on part time. 5am-10am. Been back for 6mo. My wife retired in January, she would like me to quit but understands I like working there. Im able to take off any time I want unpaid. So far so good, just have to see how it goes. We are thinking about taking a month and a half and road tripping it. That might be pushing how much time work is ok with. If so Ill just call it

Wife got stuck today with the Envoy . Said both rear wheels locked up so I figured the diff went . Get down there she’s still waiting on the tow truck . Look under to see if there was oil all over nothing driveshaft is good . Look at the right rear the caliper is jammed into the wheel . I put the car in reverse and it moved freely .I took off the tire and found the top bolt of bracket where it goes into the rear end flange was sheared off . I was able to grab the threads on the rotor side and work it out. Great figure I just need some new bolts go to Advanced they have them . Tried to get it back together but now the holes don’t line up . So off to Advanced again for a rebuilt caliper with bracket . Take the bracket off the old caliber swap them out and it goes back together just fine . I drove it home and around town and picked up some new bolts for the left side and put them in . At least she was able to get it off the road safely . I did all this on the shoulder

I’ve never seen a caliper bracket bolt break clean off . I know I didn’t over torque them I used a 3/8 inch ratchet to tighten them last brake job . I used lock tight blue on them too .

And I finished the job and the tow guy calls and said he would be leaving in a few minutes to get the car . After 2 1/2 hours my wife told him to forget it she had her mechanic do a road service . The thing that sucks is the caliper is about 3 months old and I was stuck so I am going to eat the core charge . At least I’ll have a rebuilt caliper in stock

Watched the end of the CAN Open golf tourney today. The CAN guy won it with a 72 foot putt on the fourth playoff hole. Kind of cool.

In Alexandria MN starting today they are having the state high school trap shoot semi-finals.
In the next 9 days they will have over 7000 kids shooting. We cruised out there and watched for a while and those kids are good. The teams are co-ed.
