    You don't need to heat the hot tub. Just move it into the sunshine.

    Happy Sunday everyone. Heading out for a round of golf with a friend of mines father. He is kinda like my dad now since mine has passed. I suck at golf but cherish every moment out there making memories and sharing stories with him. Everyone have a good day and stay cool.

    So if i had to support myself off of my golf skills I'd be a really skinny man. I don't get out a lot every year. 4-6 times tops. I'm much better at driving the cart and smoking cigars. And hitting balls in the woods

    Finally got it full. About 56ft long. 5ft tall on the left and 4ft on the right. "New" looking stuff is all about 20" and old is 16" or less.

    They're really good. Just done differently than some make them.

    They only take about 1:45 total time prep and cooking. Most take 3 hours, but they are IMHO better. No I don't boil them, that's disgusting.

    I could enjoy golf, along with some other sports but my body won't let me. Count your blessings.

    Well took the day off to do some work to my truck. The previous owner or shop they took to over torque the transmission pan bolts. I broke four of them when changing the fluid. Sure dreaded messing with it. Going to drill them out and retap I guess. Hope everyone is doing good .

    I swear some guys don't know how to start a bolt by hand! :hair: Thanks for the reminder why I don't do that anymore. What's supposed to be a simple, "money making" job turns into a nightmare real quick.


    On my way up the driveway, after work today, I spotted this little one.

    I used go through tires faster when I drove for a living, and had my studded snows mounted every winter. The place I loved broke so many bolts off my wheels I quit going there. I wonder how many other wheel repairs they paid for on top of like the 4 of mine instead of just turning down the torque?

    Well I got them all drilled out and retapped. Like to never found the m8x1.00 bolts. I live out in the sticks and it hard to get anything. A auto store had one pak left. I believe a shop probably used a small impact instead of using a good torque wrench and using the specs. It’s very hard to find quality work these days. It’s all about the money.

    Was a nice 68° ride into work this morning. It's 89° now. Waiting for a prescription for Kathy then home to sit in the ac for a while.
