    Good Morning All:hattip:
    My throat still hurts from the breathing tube. I was just staring to get my voice back from the cold I had.
    Have to use my desk top computer. Cellphone crapped out last night. I have to wait until wife comes home from work to go to cellphone store. I am following my restrictions to the letter. I have neighbor who is good friends with a foreman at work.

    Happy Birthday @gugman

    Forgot to mentioned this guys. This is a ladies truck.
    We have a blast and a lot of good fun and competition between ourselves. Dodge is a tad front heavy with generator and air compressor on the front we were picking I said i'd put a down payment on a little truck, she held me to it told me to back it up. I made the down payment rest is her dime.. Know this is not the right place to ask about shocks but are those biliston 5800s the best shocks to get for lifting this thing two inchs. It needs shocks now, 114000 miles on it. Bounces a little. Only want a 2 inch rise on front and back.

    Thanks.

    Hey Weesa
    Please don't call it a ladies truck...lol

    Springs are what give you the lift, get 700# or higher springs, depends on how much is up front.

    Got ride of the big boat, still have two so I won't give you everything. LOL Loved the beach just need way more space around the house for the trucks and toys. She adores the beach. I mentioned buy you a truck we can go. She held that thought till I opened my mouth and said I would put the down payment on one. Rest is like Paul Harvey use to say.. Now you know the rest.........................of the story. LOL

    These guys do really good work. And it's amazing what a load of concrete will do. Did have one "oh shit" moment. The switches on the truck are worn out. The driver and I were about 10' from the truck bsing (our wives work together) and it dumped about 1/2 yard on the street before he got the drum reveresed. We got it scooped up into the skidsteer bucket and washed down pretty quick.

    Well, we are 1 day away from a full moon. Close enough for some people, I guess.

    The seasonal Blue Moon is the original astronomical definition of a Blue Moon. Usually, there are three Full Moons between each astronomical season, which is the time between each solstice and equinox. But some years, there are four Full Moons in a season. When this happens, the third Full Moon is called a Blue Moon.

    In 2019, May's Full Moon is a seasonal Blue Moon. The astronomical season started with the equinox on March 20, and the first Full Moon alignment was less than four hours later; on March 21. The second Full Moon was on April 19, and the third, the Blue Moon, is on May 18. The fourth and last Full Moon before the June solstice is on June 17.
