Well....... I took my 22's out of the garage and gave them a washing, scraped off the old stick on weight residue. Took off the right front and rear 17's and cleaned both wheel wells, well, well..... Then it started thunderstorming. When I started it was hot, humid, and sunny.

Gotta love Texas weather.

Now I have 22's on one side and 17's on the other. Until it stops raining anyway.

The lightning was quite a display. I made it half way with my weed eating.

Just had the Shiner Black Lable. It was good, but I didn't like it as well as the Bolnde. A little too heavy in taste. What does anyone else think?

Ordered a 4 bar lower part of FX2 grille for my truck from fomoco466 today so I can make my own FX2 lower grille. I had him just cut one off above the 4th bar and box it up. I'm going to make it different than he does. His mounts behind the bumper, I'm going to try and make it more flush with the face of the bumper, like the FX2 grille does in my surround now. Should look nice when I'm finished.

I thought you had tried it all! You should get one of the Family Reunion 6 packs. Good opportunity to try six different brews.

That sounds good. The rate I'm going now it'll take me 8 months to drink the 6 pack.

If I stay on my present schedule, I'll get it done in 6 days!

Good stuff, and I don't like dark beers.

Well, I'm going to attempt to finish what I started an hour and a half ago. Hopefully I'll end up with 4 matching rims on my truck soon.

That's going to look sweet. Can't wait to see it done.

I just won an ebay auction for an XLT center console for $204 shipped. Going to go ahead and order my floor carpet on Monday to replace the vinyl flooring and put in the console at the same time.

That's a good price! I got mine for $195 shipped a couple of years ago, so that's a good deal. Sold my jump seat with console to a member here for the same amount.

Finished my wheel well cleaning and rim swap. I think my 3rd brake light is leaking again. Back seat was wet after the rain.

The FX2 lower I'm making will be all hand crafted. I think I'm going to give the Patman grille a run for it's money.
