Actually I confuse myself. They were calling it London Broil which as I understand it does not refer to a specific cut of meat, but is actually a method of cooking flank steak.
Oh well, I am using a lot of flavor (including some really good Balsamic Vinegar, chili and chili con carne seasoning) just in case.
Its supposed to be green isnt it?

This cool front has been very pleasant....upper 50's for the morning lows....sure beats getting off work at 7 a.m. and it already being 80 and rising. Supposed to be a very nice week as well down here....low to mid 90's.

Now, if we could find someone to blow a few rain clouds down this way things would be even better. Gotta go get cleaned up and ready for class....later ya'll.

OK..since I had a bunch of time off with the repairs, I had time to think and this time around it was productive positive thinking. I will be providing a service for folks that want to realize the big saving on the USA side of the border. I have done a couple of trips to test the waters. I take the people in my truck, with my trailer to their preferred places in the state of North Dakota to purchase or pick up prepaid items and bring them back. I charge a fee for a complete door to door service which starts well before we hit the road. My knowledge of what saves them time and money is provided after I receive the deposit. Then they pre-purchase/order the big stuff like windows and doors and whatever else they are in need of. I pick them up at their place, drive down, pick up/load, return to their place. I offer one, two and three day packages. So far its been single day turn arounds. One couple priced out renting a U-Haul and another couple did not have the truck and trailer to do this...these are the folks that find this most appealing.

In addition to this service, I have also gone and picked up one exotic car for an individual that wished to be anonymous when it came to transporting it. I gave him enclosed door to door service with his new ride delivered in 6 days instead of 5 weeks being handled and switched throughout a network of transport company's.

It does make me happy. I am also working on trucks while I drive part time for a local charter bus company. I am careful and cautious that I do not put too much on my plate. One of the three ventures may end up being sidelined the way things are going. I do not want to be scrambling and burning the candle at both ends. No way do I want to jump on a bus tired and start to risk everyone because of the Almighty Dollar.

I'll take both...they can go along side the longest bridge over the smallest body of water that is right here in my home town.

Bobby, I added some spices to your Pho0o, Nutmeg and Cayenne. Should kick the Depends right off!

HE started it!

That sounds COOL! Thanks for telling us too and best of luck with it all.

Very smart way to look at things. I commend you!

Afternoon all. Off to Lansing for 2 days. Taking the trailer to the Fire Inspectors Conference as they wanted to see it in operation. They MAY be making it a part of their new state-wide smoke alarm initiative.

Afternoon folks, had a great extended weekend in Lake George NY at the adirondak nationals car show. Thursday night was awesome, lots of burn outs with all types of vehicles. there were a lot of 6.0 fords running around pretty strong, some Dodges but the win went to an 06 Duramax. That thing was making prostreets look like they were parked. I personally have never seen a truck that fast.

Back at it for another 24, yea.

If a person can do something that doesnt make him feel like he is in some terrible rut and can still see his family and make a few bucks doing it---its gotta be right.

Hey, Im going nuts. Working on oil change and stuff for the plow. HRam seals have been leaking a little so I was going to top off the plow pump.
I get the oil (ATF Fluid) out from behind the seat and find three cans.
All are ATF one is FA, one is Dexron and the other just says Prestone..

Anybody remember what you can get away with using in the older (1970's) Monarch dyna-ramic snow plow pumps?

And which one of you jokers put the extra bottles of fluid behind the seat in the first place.
There are also some belts that dont fit anything, a Buick owners manual and seven old spark plugs.

Totallyrad

Put the spark plugs in the pump and drink the fluids. In a couple hours everything will be just fine.................or maybe not.

Fronty Owner

why
why?
WHY do people do this and make all truck owners look bad????
