Sun came out and now the water is running...faster then Chaikwa from a barber. Or faster then Bobby without a Depends. Or faster then Stan getting ready for his trip. Or faster then me at the dinner table....NOT! For sure faster then my older Twin Top in a marathon wearing shorts.

Lots of funky weather rolling around in the USA...be careful. If its a sign of whats coming for the summer...oh boy.

My daughter was ill with a cold a couple of weeks ago. Then she came down with an ear infection in both ears and a lung infection. Antibiotics seemed to have kicked it and now I get a text that she is at home in bed and has been barfing and has the pupes. Poor lil buddy. I am going home. She wants her dad. May be going to the doc or the hospital tonight. Really gotta watch those infections and the possible dehydration with the little ones.

Have a good week fellow DTRonians.

Dang it. I spent a lot of time trying to find it and never did.

Scotty, I sure hope she's ok.

Bark... lots of good friends in here... they're important to me!

Afternooner. Killian's on tap. Brother just left to go back to 29 stumps, I'm cutting the kids hair, maybe doing a little detailing on the bike after I'm done with hair and such.

Don't know if you guys have seen it...

You sure know how to rub it in. I know I preached a lot about how dangerous the things can be but I have been jealous of you ever since your post about taking it on a test drive.
A bike ride on a warm day cant be beat.

Thanks T/rad. You got me worried for a few minutes, but just checked the forecast for where I am and where I will be after Tuesday and can't see anything serious in any forecasts.

So did I, but finally decided to ask.

Truest thing you have ever said here. Some are LOT crazier than others!

It ain't like that, bro. We'll see how nice it is this summer in Yuma. Hottest city in the US!

Evening gents.. Rode the motor-scooter for about 100 miles today. Enjoyed every second of it. Had both sides of the fam over for diner tonight. Got to ride a little with dad. He just upgraded to a 2011 CVO Ultra Classic.

Sure wish I had your friends shop. Puts my garage to shame.
HA, yeah they gerbils are in a secure area. Can't take pics of them!
Thats actually my friends new shop, it's about 3000 sqft, his other shop is about the same size but it's all machine shop now and the new one is the rebuild shop and paint booth.

Yes it is, took my friend about a year to complete. He did it when he had time. The truck originally was from Cali and was a single rear end. He did a good job on it.

thanks, my friend is very proud of the truck. He did do a good job fixing it up. I wish i had a before picture of it. No engine pics but the engine is an original 855 N/A Cummins diesel. When he got the truck he dug into the engine and found out that the engine was never ran. The original engine was a Detroit but was replaced by the 855 Cummins years ago. And it's stupid loud when running! He's thinking of putting a turbo on it.


Evening DTR

Did work around the house today. Yesterday I got my 2nd raised bed for the garden built and finished. Gonna relax for a few and then hit the hay.

Mark, I really like your scooter. The hard bags are sweet, I like them alot better then the soft leather bags, it just looks good. Maybe you could get a walk around video for us with the bike running? The White helmet on your little boy is cool!

Red3quarter- I would like to hear that Pete running w/ the 855 N/A Cummins in it. Never have got the chance to see one in a rig yet. I'm sure it's a heck of alot nicer then the ISM Cummins I get to work with at my job every day. The EGR's on those engines are nothing but a nightmare.

Nice pictures of your job, do you work at some kind of a coal plant or something?

I think they make me look old, but they are handy! They are a little cheap, they need better lids.

I can do that. Maybe tomorrow I can do that and a drive by.

Evenin. My kidneys hurt.

Just looked at the NOAA site, prediction may be changing.

Scotty, hope the little one gets better soon!

Like madhat said, you can ignore it but its the truth. However, you can blend in by scattering empty cans of Old Milwaukee and Pabst Blue Ribbon around the trailer and leaving old underwear drying on a clothesline. Oh, if you are approached by anybody start yelling and pointing at the sky saying the black helecopters stole my tin hat!! They will usally leave you alone. If they dont leave immediatly tell them you contracted HIV from a badger. It really works!

BBQ! I am on the look out for a new Weber Genesis E310. I am told this will be my birthday present. May bid on Ebay.
Speaking of BBQ...there is one Elk at work that has had a few problems...he is wrecking one of the fences. He is also impaling the younger Elk. If we can spot one of these Elk immediately after it is impaled, I may get one of them.
And...the Buffalo are crashing on each other when jumping the fence...spring is here. I may need another freezer.

Been up worried about my daughter. I am taking her to the doc tomorrow. No fever but she is pale and very tired. Sound asleep beside momma tonight.
