My van is so rusty I could paint the inside from the outside.Touched up the paint on my old work van. Looks a lot cleaner now. Got done just in time, after it was dry, started raining again.
What did you do today?

I heard ball joints were an issue too. Not to worry, as it has less than 230,000 miles on it.:truckwash:
I started a whole house re-do of a 3 month old carpet installation. Initially I was asked by the shop to look at and do whatever was needed to make the seams go away......... customer complaint was "we can see the seams"
I looked at the seams and they looked quite good. I told the customer that seams sometimes show a little bit. Not being able to see anything that was actually wrong with them, I told them that there was little I could do, and remaking the seams was no guarantee they would look any better. In re-doing a good seam, there was a chance that they might show even more, so I declined to fix something that was done properly (except no sealer)
The installation was fully guaranteed, so the shop called the customer and offered to replace the carpet if they were not satisfied. ....find that from a box store!
So......... I'm installing the new carpet and I'm crossing my fingers that my seams look better then the last installers seams. (same carpet, different color)
Bad news is it's a Lee's carpet...... I hate their backing. Not enough latex to hold the back together to cut clean seams. The pile is tall, limp and falls into itself......... the kind where you have to dig the soft, limp and kinky strands out of the seam as you make the seam. I also hate these new super soft thin yarns. Wish me luck.
On the bright side, the customers are really nice.

A T & T is going in and out. Their phones, Cricket and Tracfone use those towers and they are all going in and out.

We been getting it all day and tonight .
It rained quite a bit over here and a tornado touched down in town. Took the roof off the gas station in the Walmart parking lot-- screwed up Maple St and Oak St and blew branches out of various trees near the center of town. Could have been a lot worse though.
And of course, in keeping up with the spirit of this town, while places were all shut down and Walmart was the only place with lights on, some idiot rolled up in to the parking lot and attempted to steal a riding cart. I was sitting there in my truck with some friends calling around to let people know we were ok and what sort of damage we were seeing. The security cameras from the store were on and about half a dozen employees were at the front door (since the store was closed). Guy just stopped in the middle of the parking lot, jumped out, tried to lift a riding cart (got it up a couple fit) but couldn't lift it high enough to the back of his truck. Dropped it, and then jumped back in his truck and fled. We then proceeded to laugh our butts off at how stupid the guy was. I really really hope loss prevention person makes a recording of that stupidity.
My brother is back from Japan and he brought a respiratory virus back with him. I've been coughing so much I can taste blood. It's not fun.

Went to a memorial service for my daughter's best friend. Strange, all the times she had been at my house over the last 20+ years, I had never met her dad.
I returned from a 3 day trip into Central California. We stayed at a bed and breakfast, had a really nice breakfast, went to some of the finest wineries in the world, visited Hearst Castle, and saw elephant seals on the shoreline.

Tough break Hi. Great Game !!
Ducks game was sabotaged. Opposing team placed Saran Wrap over their basket. No other reason could esplain such crappy shooting .........unless it was just plain old crappy shooting. They made plenty of them.
On the bright side, that was one hell of a run to get to the Final Four, so it was something they can be very proud of. It's not like they were playing a high school varsity team. Nice finish, just not as nice as some hoped. (dreamed)
Those dead fish probably weigh 450 lbs.

Both teams were not shooting good from the floor . Defense .
Ducks were 37 & 1 for the season. nothing to sneeze at .

I went to a backyard family BBQ with my ex's family last night. Fortunately, the ex wasn't there. My G/F had alot of fun and it was good seeing old friends.
