It's 58 miles from my house to work. Then back home. That's 116 miles not including the other places I go to during the day.

The round trip from Burleson to Brownsboro is about 225 miles and the daily round trip to work is about 52 miles. I do some running around and if we go to Tyler, thats another 40 miles round trip

Neighbor just called, hail is headed this way, he asked if I wanted to put my truck in his shop. So now, Black Rose is out of the weather. Sure nice of him.

No hail here as of yet, pretty tame so far.

Glad the truck is in a safe place, but don't send any of that weather this way please. We've had our share of it the past 2 weeks.

Unless it changes directions and wraps around, it's headed toward Arkansas.

There is a line of storms coming you way, Patrick. What was wrong with the Blazer?

I guess I can wait.

BTW Pat, good job on figuring out the blazer. That must have been a pita.

Thanks, and yah i mean ive heard they are hit or miss, and i personally know the Ford gaskets are rock solid, thats why i recommend them. If the headers went on easier, and were easier to change gaskets out, it wouldnt bother me to swap them if you had a problem down the road. But i like doing things right the first time, especially for paying customers.

But just as i did with your hanger bolt, I will ultimately do what ever you want me to since it is your truck.
