Sorry, Dave! Good luck with the check out.

Hope you all had the Merriest of Christmases! Wonderful day here! Happy Son and Doggo, and a good bird!

 

Merry Christmas, hope everyone had a wonderful day!

 

I sure hope so. Just hoping that side isn't pushed forward skewing the whole frame.

 

I've seen worse damage done intentionally, by people doing "upgrades" or modifications. I wouldn't be surprised if you took it to an alignment shop that they wouldn't even notice. Frames are not refined and accurate to the degree that internal components are.

I've repaired two "totaled" trucks in my driveway using common, everyday tools, and I'm driving one now. Been driving it for about four years. And I have a totaled Corolla I've driven for twice as long. Both vehicles as reliable as any other Taco/Corolla on the road.

Expect the best, because that little bit of bending can be fixed easily. Of course if you go to a shop they will want to make money off your distress. They may tell you all kinds of things.

 

Good morning fellow Porchatonians!!!

 

Just saw minimum wage is going up. Inflation is alive and well. I think news that inflation is easing, causes jump on the bandwagon mentality. I remember working part-time after school for a buck an hr. That was big money, back in the day.

 

Morning everyone

Good morning all. Back to the grind.....

 

Good Morning Folks

Headed back home in a couple hours

 

Good Morning Everyone, I hope you all had a great Christmas.

 

I've got some yard clean up I'm not looking forward to. Close to 2'' of freezing rain and I've got branches down and I'm hoping to keep power, after having several short outages. I have Xcel but some in the area have co-op power and they have been having a few more outages. My area has underground power but a feed line is above ground so I'm hoping that stays up.

Good morning. I plan on vegging out all day. I might watch a Christmas movie, of my choosing, or White Christmas if the wife wants to.

 

Morning all:

Where's Tacoma Mike, hope that the storms they had didn't affect him.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.

 

One more day off for me before I have to go back to work, but it'll be a short week. Lots of left overs in the fridge for the week, I like that. Only bad thing is I have to turn the alarm clock back on tonight.

 

You know if you're over 66 it's by your choice, to turn it on. Mine never goes off I can't seem to sleep past 530 am because of working and that was my setting for 48 yrs.

 

Yea I’m around.
This Christmas garbage just puts me in a funk for about 30 days.
By Sat I should be back to a much better place..
We never lost power the past two bad storms but, I had everything in crisis mode in case.

Going outside shortly and packing up the lights to start getting back to normal..

Awake again at 02:30, all the things that need doin' are going through my head.

Dad had the same sleep habits, and his basement workshop was directly under my mother's bed room.
They hated each other for 27 years.

 

Good Morning Porch Pals & Sue! An actual "winter weather" week ahead - but nothing that falls from the sky. Morning temps that say "I'm not going out there yet!" all week.
