Yo yo

 

You hanging with Richard Childress yet or what?

 

Well I didn’t take the job with RFK Racing as another offer came in for more money and 50 miles closer to the house…..

 

Welcome back

 

Thanks

 

I choose hunting season.
They are all the same to me,

 

Those gators won’t have a chance

 

That’s great! How you been? We missed you

 

Good Saturday morning friends. Working the store this morning, need to service the mower today and spray some weeds. May mow the weeds in the back yard

 

Eye is doing fine. The procedure only took about 5 minutes and was painless. The prescription eye drops afterwards burn a bit but I'm done with those now. The eye Dr wasn't hot...kind of a butthead really. I had to tell him my left eye because he started to put this thing in my right eye, then he was angry at assistant for not putting this tool on the side that procedure was being done. Won't know if the procedure was a success until I go back to check pressure in 6 weeks.
Sorry I haven't dropped in regularly. Kind of in a bit of a funk lately. I think between my job and the weather here has just got me in a funk. I need to snap out of it. 26° outside right now but supposed to warm pretty good today and even better tomorrow.
I'm going to hop in the Tacoma in a few and go for a drive up to Council Bluffs Iowa and hit the Horrible fright store. I'm going to try and get new clutch put in that 4runner this weekend, thought it be nice to have a tool to hold the ring gear to torque that back on. Plus little road trips are good.
Goodmorning crew

 

Too bad I'm working today or I'd meet ya over at HF!

 

I seem to remember a safety video once that says "shake hands with danger..." and I think I've given it a whole hug with a little butt squeeze at this point. @Delta09 should appreciate this...

 

I always appreciate the butt squeeze!

 

My daughter graduates next month from the college she's been attending. Needing to help her find a vehicle. So I studied the vehicles she's got on this spreadsheet cars that she thinks are suitable. I think for what she has down for choices that a new Mazda CX 30 may be the best deal for her.
I like Toyota Rav4 but those things are priced like new Tacoma almost, even used ones. I told her how about I give you my car and you save cash but for whatever reason she doesn't like the old man Impala. Prly stinks like cigarettes too bad
She just wants something new, reliable and better gas mileage than her 22 year old Wrangler.

 

Nice! We used to have a pump replacement that required something similar, and on top of that we had to disassemble the pump to fit it through the doorthey finally modified the door so they'll fit now. Only took 15 years of griping about it.

 

If that's not far from you then we'll for sure have to meet up sometime. I might have some cemented carbide and HSS tooling you could use. I've almost thrown it all away a half dozen times.

 

Good morning Shane and Co. Enjoy your weekend!

Not to pry, what eye procedure did you have? I ask because you mention going back for a pressure check. I’ve even dealing with open angle glaucoma and high pressures since my late 20's. Luckily still controlled by meds.

 

No worries. It is a cold laser procedure in just my left eye. The drops I have been using in both eyes for about a year. The Dr wasn't satisfied that the left eye pressure was low enough and I've already had a small amount of damage from the glaucoma.
He advised this procedure, said it works for 3 out of 4 people. How they tell the damage is by that test for peripheral vision. There was a small area of loss for me.
