Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

How was everyone's weekend?

 

Good.

Rear skid almost done. Hands started hurting before I could finish the final 3. Can't crack my fingers anymore since working, lol.

How about you, guy?

 

wasnt bad we did mini golf for mothersday on saturday it was a good time besides when i jumped off a small ledge and hurt both my knees and had to sit for 5mins lol

 

Went to step-aunt's vow renewal and had some drinks. Was a good time and got to talk with some family I don't normally see. My dad was actually nice this time so that was pleasant.
Hip still grinding away, so that's fun. Weekend always feels too short, not enough time to get things done.

I'll be on day shift for four weeks starting next week. Woo hoo. Have to go to some stupid school thing as a guinea pig to see if it's a viable training program for work. Not looking forward to being up at 6-630am to be there at 7:30AM at MCCKC. 3 days a week for 4 weeks. but I'll be on days the whole week.

 

Agreed. My job requires at least 3 days of recovery. Weekends too short.

Might be a good change of pace for day hours for ya. Join the land of the living.

 

I hate waking up early. I feel ten times more tired in the morning with any amount of sleep vs afternoon. Don't know why.

At least I have a camping trip next Friday so I can get away for a little.

 

You get used to it. Make some coffee and prepare for the day. I used to get up 30 mins before work, now it's an hour and half even though I walk next door to get in a work truck.

Where ya camping at?

 

Arkansas, White Rock Mountain.

 

Sounds like a good time. Will probably try to make RITO this year.

 

What up KC crew! Not much. Just trying to get to the bottom of fixing drive line vibes. Regular cabs apparently have an issue with it when your raise the rear a bit.

 

have you tried hitting it lol

 

Might have to look at a carrier bearing spacer or axle shims. Fairly inexpensive but should help get your driveline angles back where they need to be

 

hey i have knee pain and im not in construction i want a redo

 

Well, I'm past 30.

Double it.

 

Can confirm

 

Question: Where is your favorite place to camp within a 3-4hr radius?

 

Wouldn't say I have a favorite at this point but lots of good stuff down in the ozarks.

 

We have a boat at Clinton Lake in Lawrence so we camp there a few times a year (normally we just drive home after boating). We go to Milford Lake every Memorial Day Weekend (my fiancé's family has been doing it since she was born), we make a trip to Beaver Lake/Eureka Springs each year (we're getting married there), and we visit family in Colorado at least once a year (we hit a different camp each time).

Beaver Lake has been my favorite, mainly because of the how beautiful the lake is but some of the BLM campsites in CO are hard to beat.

 

Straight down MO 125 to Buck Creek at Bull Shoals. One of the most scenic areas in the country.
