I had plans to do a bit more work on the old Kenworth front that's sitting here,,but the owner turned up mid morning and took away the cab,,and then we had another visitor,,who left just in time for us to go into town to a meeting,,so,,there goes Saturday..

Keep looking Randy, there is a place with your name on it you just have to find it. I found out after I moved into my shop that my street is the only one in this community that is zoned for un limited noise. It's weird, I'm on a industrial street completely surrounded by homes, apartments and a church kitty corner. Guess this street was here years before anything else and was so far out that it was zoned for noise and heavy industry. Now we are in the center of everything. I usually shut things down by 11:00 or so I start feeling guilty about using the chop saws and air hammers much after 9:30 or 10:00. Never on Sunday before noon or Id have the whole congregation after me!

I know a lot of us are having a hot summer already but I know for a fact San Diego is hotter this week than anywhere on earth! Its just sucking the go juice right out of me. It probably doesn't help that I work in a tin can. But is it warmer than 95 anywhere else? And don't give me that "Its a dry heat" line. Had to beat dehydration tonight and hydrate with some Rocky Mtn. liquid wrench. The young guns came by and we had smoked pulled pork and decided to talk our way through tech night opposed to actually working through the night. Yep the heat thing!

I don't know why the flood gates have opened but I'm cranking on the seats. Between the phone, bending metal, and ordering parts I'm going peddle to the metal around the shop. Packing and boxing product all day Saturday to get caught up for Monday. It couldnt get busy when its cool could it?

Sunday is Boat day once again. I found some badly rusted exhaust elbows on the 302 so off they came. Of course there is a few thing I can up grade now that they are out of the way. I'm going to install new sending units in the fuel tanks. Then change out the change over valve to an electric valve instead of a manual valve. New fuel line and filters and if I can squeeze it in I have a new impeller to install in the kicker motor. That should get me very close to the water once again. Have a great and safe weekend guys and think.... COOOOOOL
