Happy birthday Tim!
Evening DTR. Boss came and found me right before lunch today and told me to eat lunch then clean up. I had safety training this afternoon, tomorrow, and maybe wednesday. I have to get caught up on confined space training, combustable dust, asbestos, fire prevention, and a whole list of crap. So i get to spend the next few days in the classroom.
Wife and I went to lunch yesterday and then to go look at a newer truck for me but the truck was not on the dealer lot when we got there. I'm looking at getting a 08 2wd 1/2 ton dodge to drive to and from work. I'm keeping the Cummins but I won't be driving it as much. I have some work to do to the CTD, needs a cab corner, new steering box, steering shaft, front crank seal, vacuum pump needs resealed, and a bunch of little things. I plan on repainting it in the spring after I fix the cab corner and do the body work. I'd like to get rid of the VP-44 and p-pump the truck too but thats probably not gonna happen yet.
Making chicken tacos for dinner tonight.

I know you arent supposed to eat the yellow snow but are there any other colors I should worry about?
Now if that stuff would just keep the connecting rods from flying out the sides when I get stupid (like that last one) than that would be great.
Still raining here.
