    50/50 Tuesday
    mechanic said no, he won't work on the skid steer. Oh well.
    but he checked out the RV, said they'd work on that. Popped the hood, took a quick look & asked if there was a reason the spark plug was spark unplugged?
    That would explain why it ran rough last time I used it.

    Yesterday free-range chicken guy put up some fencing to keep them out of my yard. His wife offered me eggs. Nice.
    Today I find two chickens in the yard. from a different neighbor! LOL. Can't make this S*** up.

    I need a different job too. Mine's not fun anymore. More stress & worry than any results driven satisfaction. Can't see a path to improvement.
    Maybe I'll drop an application with Powerball - 2$ application fee :)

    Nice!! I had to replace the cartridge on mine and was sweating bullets but it worked. I hate dealing with water due to the leaking risks and past issues with it not being done right.

    Morning all.

    I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a smart cap in the next couple weeks. Question is, do I pay the $100 for shipping or do I drive the 2.5 hours to go pick it up... definitely not saving by picking it up. 5 hours of my time plus gas, but it'd be a fun little day trip up and back... although that would cut into install time.

    Your time is worth more than $20/hour

    The other thing I refuse to touch. Though if I must choose I'll replace a light switch at least..or install electric stuff on the truck.

    If there's something specific on the way you want/enjoy, drive it. Otherwise, no.

    I had to head to Milford yesterday to return my used motor oil at FCP Euro (if you all don't know about their free replacement program on things, look into it!), so I had to take the fun car to make that lousy drive worth it. What a picture perfect day with temps and sunshine. Shame that it will just get hotter

    Depends on where it is to pickup. I love making a roadtrip out of little things, just find some good food or drinks along the way, a good disc golf course, etc.
    Maybe Ill go pick it up for you ;).

    Yeah it's all fair and pretty much what I was thinking. 5 hours just in travel to save the $100 is silly. And my free time is limited as it is.

    Happy Friday, another week in the books. Give yourself a pat on the back.
    Aerating my lawn today as is my neighbor. Neighbor pays the rental and I supply the transport. Works for me.

    Good morning CT.
    The LED's will be delivered today. I had the day mixed up. I'll see how many dash lights I can swap over to LED. Currently I only have my hazard switch light swapped over. I'll see if I can find an LED for the PRNDL at the local O'Reilly's or Autozone.
