Still alive and kicking. The new pup's schedule has me jumping without a lot of time on the PC. Lynn's Mom was transitioned into hospice two weeks ago and then passed away on May 28th. Since then we've been in planning and execution mode for the visitation, service luncheon and internment of ashes. Finally beginning to catch our wind now although Lynn has a pretty rough sinus infection now.

Truck is still in the shop. They were able to realign the frame. Might get it back this week minus the new tailgate which is on months-long backorder.

So sorry to hear of your MIL's passing.

I would do the first item then he did the next. That way he would watch what needed to be done and I made sure he understood the process then he was able to do his side. He's a nice guy and a decent enough rider I just think he's really intimidated at the idea of wrenching on his own bike. I'm certainly not a professional mechanic by trade but have always wanted to do as much of my own work as possible. Beyond the money that can be saved I like the satisfaction of knowing that I took care of it myself. He also needs to worry less about things he reads on the internet. LOL.

That is the way to teach. I always had a manual for the vehicles I owned and just dug in and made the repair. Basic understanding of tools is needed. A torque wrench is your friend.

A dozen of us WI folk went out and exercised our trucks yesterday. The place has an interesting background. It was once a compound occupied by sovereign citizens. They refused to pay taxes, fought the IRS for years claiming to be a church. They had live-fire tactical training events on the grounds, built shelters loaded with ammo into some of the hillsides. They threatened many of the locals and anyone that got too close to the property. Eventually they were taken down by the Dept of Natural Resources because they had moved several mobile homes onto the land and installed septic systems without a permit. When all was said and done, the land was given to the county, which didn't know what to do with it for years. Eventually, someone thought the land would be a great place for offroad trails and the county developed it into an offroad park/campground. Some of the trails are quite challenging.

Thank you for the pics. I enjoyed them.

Yeah, I hate seeing this kinda post. We had a situation going into this weekend where one of the members that was going to come out to play hadn't been heard from in a couple of weeks...turns out his cancer got him a couple of weeks ago.

Sorry to read this. I really hate cancer. I have lost too many friends to cancer.

Mark: Sorry to read about Lynn's mom. Hope you have a summer vacation planned and we need a few more pics of the Z3 out and about.

Good morning. Chair yoga starts up today and I need to make a shopping run. Chicken winds for dinner tonight.

Thanks for checking in @Devious6 , condolences for your loss. Having lost my dad in 2020 and mom in 2021 your story still hits me pretty close to home. It's a stressful time, so many things to deal with besides just the grief. Our best to you and Lynn.

to the rest of you sorry lot! We stacked one of the wood piles yesterday; I was surprised to have finished the whole thing in a day. Two more to go! The hot 'n humid stuff is supposed to arrive later this week so I plan on getting out there and getting as much done as possible before then.

Good Morning Porch Pals & Sue! Last of the stubborn internet connections taken care of with some batteries and aggravation. House putz stuff today, but we don't have to water!

Crazy, I’m getting ready to do the same thing. I really want to go metal, I have three roofers coming in the next couple weeks to give me some quotes.

Prices for the metal vary so much it's hard to believe. When I built my shop/garage there were places that priced it at twice the price of other sources.

Hi Sue! Kinda good enough!
Had to go to San Marcos for wine, but I got it! Putzed and fixed the smoker switch. All the further I got.
Spent the 5:30 slot waiting for another big storm that gave up on us. 0.01". But we got a whole inch yesterday, so no complaints.

06Tacooo · Jun 14, 2024

New hearing aids yesterday. So far so good. Easier to get up and running. Old ones were almost three years old, and one was only working intermittently... it got wet. My fault. I like the new ones, same brand, but better in every way. Hearing aids dryer coming today.

Had a great day yesterday. But then any day above ground is a great day.

Good morning. Guitar lesson in the AM and the irrigation company is coming to fix a leak in the PM. Smoking a rack of ribs today. Chicken wings came out great yesterday.

Good morning all. Last nice day before the heat wave starts tomorrow.
