For sure. I had a bunch of stuff before the big "D" in 2011. I would like to either make some stuff or buy it to get my collection back up. With all the stuff I had it would take a FULL day to put up. If it gets in to days I will back it off. LOL

If the sun is out it shouldn't be to bad. Morning will be cold until the sun warms things up.

New years day turned out to be the sh!ts. My puter took a dump and I lost EVERYTHING. I put my recovery thumb drive in and like a dumb a$$, didn't do an update since I installed windows 10.  :banghead  :banghead  So I'm starting from scratch. I have windows 10 reinstalled along with office that I had and got my anti virus reinstalled. Just having issues finding the free download and setup I had for Cisco Anyconnect I need for work. Then the pain full task of finding and resetting up everything ells I had that I can retrieve.  :banghead

Looks like the valve covers are now leaking on the cheby.  :banghead  Been smelling a slight oil burning for a few weeks. Just had a chance to look over the weekend. Pretty wet towards the back of the covers. Another project I have to make time for in my schedule to get fixed.  :rolleyes  :beat

I have totally out grown my tool boxes. I have a box sitting in front of my box now with a bunch of tools I have no place to store. SOOOO!!  I ordered the China Stores US General 26" Cabinet, top box and the side box. Getting black this time. Boxes I have are OLD craftsman red boxes and one of my top boxes is grey. I have two 6 drawer top boxes stacked up on a 5 drawer roll around. Drawers are dragging from the weight and wore out. I will be gaining about 6 more drawers with this new setup. I don't have room for the 42" they have. Ill be squeezing this setup in as it is.

Then, Driving around over the weekend in the rain turned into a joy in the Taco. The tires are done. No traction what so ever. SO I have a set of Pirelli's Scorpion Verde A/S Plus on order via Discount tire. I have Pirelli Scorpion's on the chevy and really like them, so I figured I would give them a shot on the Taco. They should go on Monday afternoon hopefully before I have a real issue. Today I drive the chevy since it's supposed to be raining by the time I get off work.
