    Sometimes a seemingly dark situation will make you take a different route you wouldn’t have before. You guys are healthy and your mother is healing well, that’s all that really matters. Burn that firewood and come back for more!

    The way the rear works now is great. The angles of everything were setup using a 4link calculator and the 48” trailing arms make the travel pretty linear. I just have some new stuff and a different look I want to build cuz I just like building stuff. If you want to link yours we can chat about pros and cons I’ve experienced with different configurations, but it comes down to what you want

    That's a horrible idea. What time?
    Thanks. I'll being staying put. My retirement will allow us to keep our current health benefits. That's potentially a five year window. Hopefully, this assignment will turn into something better than it was, or I can rotate off in a year. Either way, I'll be staying in the building and just ride it out.

    If this team redirects and we actually have some productive work to do, it won't be so bad. And if we can get Gwed out contract work and cruise toward her retirement, then something good will come of it. Her issue right now is the holidays and year end budgets. Government runs on fiscal year, but there is a lot of vacation time occuring and things slow down in HR (she has an app for a VA Martinsburg job submitted). Companies sometimes run calendar year, and they can't hire on next eyars budget until next year. So there is an uncomfortable waiting period until things start picking up again.

    I have a nice stack of firewood. I need to reduce it a bit.

    It comes with great sadness to announce the passing of Shannon’s co pilot. Sig aka “monkey foot” was the best k9 companion I could ever have asked for and will always be loved. FF675E44-F1C0-4EF7-9500-44B74E5C478B.jpg

    RIP Sig and Kona, I'm sure they're up there in doggy heaven running around and sniffing each other's butts. Sad day, really sorry to hear it.

    Cheap tools will only get you broken bolts.

    Fortunately the bolt was easy to remove. The torque wrench didn't fare as well. It's somewhere in the woods currently.

    Sometimes you go looking at Civics and end up with a Matrix.
