Good morning everyone!

JLarson · 06-20-2019, 07:32 AM

How's everybody doing this morning?

madwi · 06-20-2019, 07:32 AM

Tired and ready for bed.

madwi · 06-20-2019, 07:36 AM

Raining here too but no flooding or anything. Grass could use it.

BettyZ · 06-20-2019, 07:41 AM

Been raining for 14 hours straight here. Today's my day off so I'm less than pleased. But the garden and the new trees I planted last week surely need it.

Everything else is in good shape.

Why not use Grade 8 bolts and the appropriate hardware? The end links that NAPA & the other places sell are nothing but Grade 3 or 5 (at best) bolts with some cheesy stamped metal over them....

I'z up.

Rain, more rain, and more rain.

We got flood watches and warnings. Had a good light show ing on last night.

Work today, Then off for 4. Long weekend.

Camping out and 4 wheeling.

On a REALLY off topic subject.....

My Honda DD's blower fan AND blower motor resistors quit on the same day....

Ordered the motor & fan assembly from Amazon on Tuesday, got it Wednesday and installed it. Still no spinny spinny....

Checked power to resistors, good, checked power to fan, no good.......

Ordered resistors from Amazon and they will be in today. Everything I got from Amazon was half the cost of the parts stores.....

Can't. The Power Wagon is a different animal when it comes to parts. It's doesn't take standard 2500 running gear. The end links are a double ball joint. The factory links are $140.00 each. Good aftermarket ones are $160 a set. I got the NAPA ones has I needed them now, not 4 weeks later.

Couple of streets are already flooded here

Looking like the 28th-30th will be the road trip. Still hammering out the details but if we don't go then it might be mid to late July before my brother has any time off. Tried to get him to go over the weekend of the 4th but he is working doubles all weekend
