    Close, still incorrect though. Whenever you loan out a book, you do it with the realization that it likely won’t be coming back. In a perfect world it will keep being passed along.

    I have a pair outside my office window every day. It’s so tempting, I hear they taste great!

    Did some trimming yesterday.
    Shortened the ubolts from about 15 threads sticking out, to 10.

    The military wrap rivet for the aal was riding the overload spring so I trimmed the head down. (overload is meant to be left out)

    Feels like a good day to make some bread...
    An Amish Bread recipe but we aren't Amish so it's just white bread.
    Ready to go in the oven.

    Two things I have been pondering today...

    First, KwikTrip has sheety car washes. I know I live in a depressed no profit area for them but for $9.00 I should at least have the dirt knocked off of the paint. Not worried about the wheels or wheel openings. The frucking paint for frucks sake.

    Second: today was exceptionally warm and beautiful. As such I indevoured to work on my trailer brakes. They seem to have stopped working last summer and they are a necessary component of my summer trailering. I pulled a drum apart to take a serious peek. Things were a bit dirty, but over all looks like there is at least one if not two years of shoe and magnet life left. Huh. So I progressed up the wires to the controller and such. Victory; well, at least in terms of what is wrong. On my 7 pin female there is a constant power, lt and rt turn, taillights and brake lights. That 7th pin is dead. That is the one from the controller... So, now I need to go into that rats nest under the flatbed and try to ascertain where the break is. I have an idea, but this is going to be a big search. Not one to be taken lightly, especially when there is still 8 inches of sloppy wet snow on the ground. At least now I know where to focus my energy at three am when I am not sleeping and worrying about stupid sheet.

    If you're caked with mud, no automatic was is going to do much about it. I usually get the heavy dirt off with a pressure washer before I try an automatic.

    The Kwik Trip ones around here are as good as any.

    I've noticed Kwik Trip carwashes aren't as good as they use to be.
    I've since switched to Casey's for getting the heavy dirt off.

    Glad to see others took advantage of the nice weather, too!

    Got the cruiser out of its winter slumber and added a nice component to the roof. Who doesn't appreciate a good rack?

    I had an experience at Kwik Trip last year. The person in the car wash decided to back up when her wash was done. The light signal then told her to pull forward and then stop. She got my wash.
    I had to go into the store and tell them what happened. The clerk gave me a code for a new wash. There is more to this story but I can't use those words here.
