Neat pictures of the plant but I wanna see the gerbils on the treadmill powering the whole thing.
Sure wish I had your friends shop. Puts my garage to shame.

Nice truck!

Morning.

Bob, if you didn't like the weather last week you're probably not going to be happy about the way this one is going to start out either.

Mornin'.
Strange breakroom title, but it matches the even stranger visitors here. Oop's, guess that includes me. My wife will probably confirm that fact. Not going to come even close to what is called 'coffee' here. It may drink me.

Now in Texas, supporting your sagging economy. Man, things are expensive here! Went to Walmart for groceries and one orange is about the same cost as one kilo of oranges back home. Arrived yesterday afternoon after a totally uneventful trip, except for giving the truck and the poor RV a good shaking on a couple of unmarked speed bumps. Nothing unusual for Mexico. Did somehow lose a hub (bearing) cover on one wheel, so hope I can locate a replacement tomorrow. Crossed the border with the fuel gauge reading 'full' and 3 extra containers of diesel in the truck, so that will cut down on the fuel costs a little while I am in the OO S of A.

Tomorrow going to get two new shoes for the truck. Will keep the best tire as a spare for the spare while traveling. Don't need it, but decided to buy an extra tire for the RV and carry it with me as a spare for the spare. Where would I get an 'E' rated tire in the desert or up in the mountains if I had two flats in a row? You may call it overkill or an over abundance of precaution, but it would not be any fun to have two flats in some areas that I travel. Will carry a couple of tire irons with me, so can if necessary can install a new tire on the rim on the side of the road. Yes, I even know of a trick to get the bead to seat and then pump up the tire with my on board air.

Scott, are you in the country of Uganda, or is there some place in the USA called Uganda? As a kid, went to a school in Uganda for two years That is where I learned to drive heavy dump trucks up and down steep dirt road hills - and I was only 10 years old.

Is it spring north of Texas yet? Blowing a mini gale where I am and it feels like the humidity is about 327%. Left home with the humidity averaging just under 30%.

Uganda Illinois, right next to Champaign. Seems like another country depending on what part of town you're in tho.

Yeh, spotted that this last night. Checking out the forecast for our upcoming class breakfast on Thursday. Looks like we will see some "stuff" by tomorrow and ending Monday night or so. Thursday is projected high of 84 - - wow, summer is coming.

Put on a fresh pot of ph00 and I am out of here.

Bob

Afternoon all.

Thats a beautiful Pete, any engine pics?

Just got back from a 70 mile test ride on a Ducati 900ss. That bike is SCARY fast! May have it in my stable within the upcoming week.

Going to do some Pork Chops on the grill this evening. Sun is shining, snow is melting away and it's a nice 48*. Spring is definitely here.

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend.
