Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Is Thunder your dog?

My close to 10 year old pup has gotten into the habit of waking me up anytime between 4-5:30 am. Makes for a long day…

I’ll check in first thing tomorrow morning

 

Nah , not my dog. It made the power pop off a few times, so I got up.

 

We got a little rain too

 

That looks amazing!!!

 

He can back one as good as anyone I’ve ever seen. He said he has to go slow with the one on front though, lol.

 

When my wife told me she wanted to home school our kids I thought she was insane. She is hard on them and they are smart because of it. Our daughter took the CAT yesterday and it says she’s equivalent to a 4th grader in the 9th month. She’s 6

 

One of the math questions was “Carl had 5 cookies, he gave Sheryl 1, and Jeff 2. How many cookies did Carl have left?”.

She looked at mom and said “that’s not fair”

 

That's great. Learning in a structured environment will definitely pay off. Plus they learn manners and good citizenship.

 

It amazes me seeing the work she puts in. They have great manners too. My parents were never hard on my schooling or my manners, and it shows. My kids will think mom later in life for it.

 

Both my parents left school very early to work on the farm , so they couldn't help alot with school work , but my older sister taught me alot. My dad was pretty strict ,so I had good manners , lol.

 

I woke up in the wee hours and said pretty much the same thing.

Then thought of all the possible other causes and corrections

Then if it was a 100% Mall crawler Build I could see the Gaps would really detract from the look and the owner would be so embarrassed as to park the truck at home and never show it in public

 

New poll!!

Got our taxes back yesterday. Not complaining. We pay someone cause of the store mess. Luckily we are getting a little back.

 

This is a truck local to you so you know the history ?

Never had any front end damage ? The brackets on one side might just be pulled out of true when welded

Everything installed torquing the bolts just moved things crawled out from under the truck tired and hungry .

Never even noticed when you did when things need to come apart it might get fixed.

 

Even back in my day I was far ahead of the curve in reading Though I never had much faith in those stupid tests.

By about 4th grade I just filled in the dots in random patterns.

Mom sometimes later in life said she might have made a mistake teaching me to read so young for the most I was really bored in school . Now days I would no doubt thought just unable to focus so filled with interesting things.

I learned far more outside of school by watching and absorbing anything that held my interest.

 

My answer would be 5 what had Sheryl and Jeff done to deserve cookies .

Answers like this might be why I spent most of the days in the principals office till I was banished to the Library

 

Taxes Do my own Right .

I had a CPA who consulted with a Tax Attorney as needed I bet your store is simple compared to my mess .

Dealing with 1099`s and several W2`s plus all the fun when your an Independent contractor plus some years monthly payments quarterly were normal the money spent was well worth it .

It should be interesting this year my only income was stock dividends .

 

Bought a new toy, uh, I mean tool, yesterday

 

65 degrees yesterday, this morning it’s 26 and

 

Negative don't know the truck don't know the history just complaining about something I have no control over.

Anybody else at work today?

 

Morning everybody. Enjoy your Saturday!

No snow for us thank goodness, 74 yesterday and humid. Currently 40, feels like 24 with a 20-30 mph wind blowing. Our high was at 1:00 this morning. I might just go back to bed. Lol
