    The garage has been my saving grace. Aside from yesterday afternoon it hasn't been windy with the rain so I've been able to get stuff done and leave the door open for the fresh air.

    True though -- it has been raining for about 3 weeks. I figured most folks would think I was exaggerating if I told the truth. :p

    I'm looking forward to it being dry enough to mow the lawn one of these days. It's a good foot tall right now!

    Thanks on the tire size.....:D


    Yeah, the grass is another issue. Not dry enough to cut. When I do mow it, I'll have to make one pass set high, then second pas mid, and last one on normal setting. Shit, gotta cut it three times to make it right....:rolleyes:

    I'm in Cape Coral, work in Fort Myers. It has been Africa hot here........ This is when I hate living in FL. I't hasn't stopped me from working on the truck, I just get up earlier on the weekend and do my stuff, by afternoon forget it. Yet next weekend I will be doing the lift kit so I will be out there half the day or so.

    By the way, the Tacoma badge looks good on yours.

    Sent you a PM. Not really, it's still pretty crappy as far as jobs, economy, and weather go.
