OFF TO TULSA, DON'T EXPECT TOO MUCH FOR THIS SHOW. MAYBE SOMEBODY WILL BRING IN SOMETHING I WANT.

Good Morning CGs!

Should be hot here today. As I sit here looking out the window, the a-hole neighbors' tree is still laying on their house. This makes day 26. I think they had a guy out yesterday finally to look at it and give them an estimate. I hope that means this upcoming week it will be gone.

Didn't do much work on my own house or car these past few days off. I really need to run the new fuel pump harness I just can't find the motivation. I think it should take me about 3 hours total. Not bad, it's just every time I think about it, it's already 8 o'clock in the evening. Maybe tomorrow

Gris - good luck at your show.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Matthew

Morning.

Skid steer motor has been reassembled and is running. Apparently the fuel injector pump went south. Engine idles but that it. Cost of new pump with a 15% discount included. $1170.53. Cost of rebuilt pump from another source, $850 plus a 200 core charge. At the end of the workday we encountered that. Later sonny-boy stopped by to pick up his bike and wanted to see where his stuff from the warehouse is stored. His uncle is caring for his dog and he's back to living in his car. His excuse for not working; "At this time I am mentally incapable of holding a job". He's stuck in a mental rut and currently see's a counselor about once a month and is taking his meds. (he says). I have heard the term mental breakdown before. I had 8 years of first hand experience with a paranoid schizophrenic first wife. (nightmare) In my son I can see his mental processes are seriously flawed. He's caught in a mental loop that leads to nowhere. If I didn't understand the term mental breakdown before, I do now. It's a shame really. This kid is smart as a whip but to dumb to get out of his own way. We suggested he seek help with a local mental health organization that will help start all over again from the bottom up. After he's done analyzing it, we hope he moves in that direction. Sue's working the nursery alone today so I better shower and get my ass over there. That's life .......

Morning guys....Tommy, if he recognizes he has a problem, that's a start. Hopefully he'll be able to make the right decisions and get the help he needs.

Going to be hot here again today. Not as hot as yesterday (108), but still hot. We will be heading for the mountains tomorrow. It's supposed to be in the 80's all this week here, so I'll miss the nice weather here, but, where we are headed it's supposed to be in the 70's all week.

Got to get things together for the parade and show n shine.

Greetings! Looks like a beautiful day out there, which will come in handy. Some good friends of ours that we've known since 1968 are moving to Texas, so a bunch of us are going on an all-day river trip as a going-away party.

Matt, perhaps your neighbor has always wanted a tree-house?

Tommy, hope returning to Square 1 gets your son on the right track.

Have a great day, Gurus!

Tommy know what your going through right down to the xwife. At the start of the month kicked my 27 year old son and his kids + girlfriend out. He does have a job is the good part. I have saved his butt all his life from himself. Finally broke down after all his fight and lying stealing from me and etc. He only moved 5 houses down the street for now. He had the balls to stop by and apologies for all the crap he put me through. HE LEFT AND 20 MINUTES LATER TEXT ME AND SAID HE WAS OUT OF GAS AND WANTED TO BORROW $20 FOR GAS AND CIGERATTES. I didn't answer

Went to the parade, lots of oooohhhhs and aahhhs as we drove by. Set up at the show and shine...actually had a couple different people interested in buying. Everyone is surprised at the what I am asking (pleasantly surprised). Most people think these cars are sky high. Didn't win anything, didn't anticipate that I would. Everyone likes the old cars.

Is it just me or is the server taking a long time to come up with the web site when I try to get on or move around in the site.....

This is how I feel after a 5 minute conversation with my son.

Thanks for bearing with me.

Thanks for beering with me.

THE SHOW SO FAR HAS LIVED DOWN TO MY EXPECTATIONS. ON TH GOOD SIDE, IT WAS NOT TOO CROWDED FOR PEOPLE TO STOP AND TALK AND IT'S ALWAYS FUN TO KID AROUND WITH THE "CUSTOMERS".

DID NOT SEE ANYTHING I WANTED EXCEPT ONE OF SAM'S NEW SWORDS. IT'S IN THE $5K RANGE, SO I'LL PASS.

HERE'S A DIFFERENT GUN SHOW, LOTS OF $$$ DOWN RANGE:
