Re:Water Cooler May 4th - 10th

&gt; Well I hope you all have had a better weekend than me &gt;... To start things off on friday I get the ok from the wife to order a few things for the truck. So saturday morning she blows up cause she found out I was waiting for Rod to call so I can place the order. ???.. Now I am dumbfounded by her reactions, we have a heated debate about it as &quot;she&quot; is getting ready to go camping with her sister and girlfriend. I finally bow down, (cause I think she is crazy ) and go out to the garage to hang new shop light's. She leaves for the weekend without saying goodbye or a hug, great now I am fuming and decide when Rod calls I am going to order the stuff anyway! :P... Well Rod being the nice guy he is, call's and say's put the brakes on a bit and call me back when you are sure she will not kill you. &quot; Thanks Rod, it was probly the right call&quot;..... So I go out and buy myself a nice big steak and shrimp dinner, yummy, made me feel better but still kinda mad about everything. I get up really early this morning and am calmed down enough to do the brake job on her Jimmy. Well I don't have any anti brake squil silicone, so off to the parts store, I buy what I need and write a check and come home. I pull out the loaded caliper's only to find out the part's store in Anchorage (60 miles away) gave me the wrong caliper's. &gt; :'(.... Now I am back to being &quot;CRABBY&quot; again, I call the part's store where I was just at and they have 1 set of loaded caliper's, so I run back into town and they are &quot;MORE EXPENSIVE&quot; than the ones I allready bought &gt;. I get them anyway cause I have the rig tore down allready, I write them a check for the amount ($193.00) the lady tells me &quot;I CAN'T EXCEPT THIS CHECK, DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER WAY YOU WOULD LIKE TO PAY?&quot; Now I am fiurious! I said I was just here 1/2 hr ago and there was no problem. So I paid with the credit card, come home, get online to find out I have over 5 grand in my account, and my &quot;wife&quot; has been spending money online with that medical place again! &gt; which is what got us into trouble a few weeks ago. Sorry for rambling on, but I JUST NEEDED TO VENT! I hope she decides to stay another night out there, I am one unhappy dude. &gt;<br><br><br>You all have a great week!

Re:Water Cooler May 4th - 10th

7th Monday this week. Only 5 more to go. Had to work this weekend, but was able to get some &quot;homers&quot; done. Picked up 60 nice 8&quot; x 8&quot; x 6' concrete posts. Not real sure what I'm gonna do with them, but I have them in case I find a use. I don't understand why the truck grunted when I carried them to the shop. After all, 15,000 lbs + shouldn't be a problem.<br>Got the OK for the shooting competition in August. The guille suits ought to be real comfy then. Hope to have around 200 shooters. Got 85,000 rounds of ammo ordered. If any of you are going to be in the central Arkansas area around the 22nd of August, give me a hollar and I'll give you a tour.<br>OBTW, while cleaning out my storage shed, I came across some 7.62mm x 39 ammo. Soft point and ball. If interested, let me know. Might work out a trade.<br>Outa here for now.<br><br>shortround out

Re:Water Cooler May 4th - 10th

Good Morning all. Just got home from the lake. Man sure is nice to fly myself up there so I can come home Monday mornings and still make it to work ontime! Well my weekend was pretty uneventful I tool my 73 year old grandfather for a plane ride saturday in my DHC 2 on amphibs to his old house about 1 hour from my cottage he took some pictures and had a great time. That makes me really happy that he can enjoy himself and have a great ride. I greased the landing when we got back to my lake so I was proud when he leaned over my shoulder and said great job! Anyways thats about it. Flew home this morning at 6:30 got in at 7:00 at the airport sure beats the 2 1/2 hour drive up there! Made it to work for the usual time. Had a leaking pump on my truck I rebuilt this morning already and need to tidy some wiring in the box. I am running Don's injectors and loving them! Anyways everyone have a great DTR day.
