Texans know leather....here, they are just dead cows.

did some backhoeing, loader work. miss my dozer but not the repairs.

picked up new bike after getting springer front end re bushing'ed professionally. got to replace the top end gaskets and make the electrical look professional, add a switch stop for the magneto. Vance and hines pipes will cook your arm off reaching down to place the copper tag old school ground. waiting on a disc brake guide pin for the ol police bike, so I am going no where but ready to work.
Heidi - - I try to hold off reading your posts until the night - - I get tired just reading all the stuff you try to do. Slow down, girl. My daughter could do that leather cover = = has the machinery, but she is soooo bogged down with work she can't come up for air. Suddenly everyone needs her. Here is her website - - being a lady you would probably enjoy seeing her handy work. http://www.customarearugdesigns.com/ She has a couple shots from our home under "Traditional." She constantly amazes us - - neither of us can draw a straight line with a ruler, but she designs all this amazing stuff and both of her brothers are fantastic with a pencil. The youngest designs airplanes and the oldest buildings. DUH - - what happened to me. I just design getting in trouble - - and I am fantastic at it. .......

Evening DTR, work went well. Had a good storm roll through this morning and turned everything into muck at work. Wife is bumbling around the kitchen tonight baking a birthday cake for a customer. Her cake business is really keeping her busy lately. Still considering the new position at work.

I was on an international flight once. got bumped around a couple times and finally landed at the back of the plane. A kid started screaming behind me. the stewardess asked if I would like a drink. I asked for a whiskey and water. she brought me two more before dinner and after a couple more after dinner, I dont remember much else...I atleast had two empty seats next to me to pass out on.
Whisky is your friend when flying. Just be careful on Air France... they carry big bottles of wine and dont know what no mas means...

FiverBobo, (your 'kids' are superstars!) I need to go hang out in MI with chaikwa, that's how i get my rest. i don't do a dang thing, sit in the passenger seat and pet Jake. Scott thinks I am stupid; I think I'm not at my place having to think/ work....
more fun to hear him whine and complain. we were seperated at birth.
I am the human...

MATT! weather stinks, take a long look at the job details...good sleep on it.
wonder why you are not ten hundred pounds, cake wife. sheesh.

my awesome hubby made brownies and they have no nuts. I swear he auto cads the batter.....perfect level evenly baked brownies. I cannot do that.
snuck a bag of smoked almonds to stop any arguments....

ED, man that sucks. attorney neighbor. and the truck thing...lol
his car the 67 cadillac eldorado? lot of force there....

TOP! it was the ladies room that had your name flying.....

routed breaker and ground, all good. temp sensors checked and fire wiring checked and synched. all good.

freezer has steaks, veggies, venison and ham products. no fan motor.
motor made in china and stopped working cold. this detective is done.

it is good to hear fixes from a good ol boy at any time though, keep em coming, T smiley. thank you

Many years ago coming back from Vegas we saw the drunk in front of us break his nose when he fell out of his aisle seat. He was bleeding so much for awhile that they almost landed in Canada.
