    If you had a shop where you could lay out a jig the fence would be pretty quick and snap-together.

    There are a couple Luminant plants around here; but the big one is Comanche Peak. It is the nuclear plant.

    You are learning. The time invested to build the jig will pay you back in quality and speed.

    For those of you that remember the HomeBrew4Heroes thing I did last November and February; we are doing a second fund raiser to try to raise cash for a second "beer drop" this summer. The shirts are one of kind each run so far so if you are in to limited edition t-shirts - whatever you damn hipster. If you are into supporting our troops with a cold homebrewed beer when they come home from which ever asscrackastan they were in then these are the shirts for you. Here is the link (click here) and the shirts are $20 each plus $5 s/h. I will personally vouch that the guys that set all this are a not making a single dime off of any of this. The original guy to come up with this came up with it as a response to his brother being sent back to Afghanistan.

    Picture is from our first beer drop. It was freezing and trying to drizzle on us on Super Bowl Sunday when these guys came home. We gave out ~70 boxes (each box had 2 six packs of homebrewed beer).

    Waxed the truck tonight. Started washing after dinner and just finished up! I don't think it has ever been done before because it was abnormally difficult...hince why it took so damn long. My arms are killing me, should have used an electric buffer! Oh well, at least my paint feels pretty nice now :)

    Can't say you didn't work for it.


    And if I don't post in here by next Sunday some one call the American Embassy and tell them ive been stolen by the drug cartel. In all seriousness though. I'll be in Playa del Carmen all week!

    Where are you staying at in Playa de Carmen? I was down there a couple of years ago and really had a good time.

    Also, appreciate it. I'm looking forward to getting back outside and having some fun again.

    Just got approval to go camping next weekend.

    With 0 time for prep, and most places likely booked, any ideas for:
    Camping (Cabins are preferred due to lack of prep time)
    Hiking
    Maybe truck trails?
    Within ~5hrs of DFW

    I heard the plane lost oil pressure and had to find a place to land.
