I am freaking tired. I helped my (black, not green thumbed, he has no clue) best friend pull 8 large boxwoods out of the ground with his truck and prepared 2 flowerbeds across the front of his house. Had a crap ton of grass to remove and then prep the beds for plants. Excavated a bunch of concrete and builder trash from the soil. Dug a sharp curved border for the beds. Went to the nursery and bought 6 indian hawthornes and 5 encore azaleas and 17 bags of mulch. Planted the plants and spread the mulch. Oye. :o

Took some advil. Time to relax.

She knows her stuff. You wouldn't know it by looking at her pampered self, but she can do some wrenching if it's called for.

Her truck is really looking great and you would not believe it's overall condition with 180,000 miles. Handles as good as one with low miles and no rattles at all. Very clean inside and under the hood. She takes great care of it. It was a pleasure for me to see it being "improved".
Good thing you explained the whole creeper deal.

Wow and I thought I had a busy day of fixing the lawn mower, cutting the grass and cleaning the truck out (found my lockback) And got the suitcase packed for Wednesday.

I had a tough day of goofing off at the lake, getting thrown off of tubes, and removing the jumpseat seatbelt assembly from my truck.

My Daughter is happy she finally has to really study in college. In her junior year now. She said all the work the past 2 years was just busy work. Not too challenging for her. She's a very good student, lucky me.

Good for her I felt, and still do, that most of what they made us do for the entire time I was in college was busy work. Maybe half of the content of the classes was actually usefull, though I did have a lot of work experience so some of the introductory stuff seemed pointless and boring to me.

He already had the shackles, but had a vibration. He was installing the shims.

We should have gotten a picture of Jim flipping your receiver upside down
