Yea i just started working on my truck trying to do my front brakes that were on back order forever. I picked them up yesterday after work and didnt have time to do them, so i started working on them, then i was getting dripped on. I plan to do a full TAC write up on the brakes if i have enough room on my camera to take all the pics.

It quit for now so im gonna get back out there and hope it doesnt rain again

Almost got the front flower bed finished, ran out of mulch. Got some bare spots in the yard seeded. Finish it up tomorrow along with the rest of the 'rents acerage.

Time for some supper and a Shiner Bock.

Hey stranger!

Everyone did their yard work today. Mine was actually done yesterday, which is a good thing since it rained today. Grand Isle sounds good. I'm about due for a trip to S. Louisiana. It's been about a year - maybe year and a half since I've made my way down there.

Hi, we moved down here last year to get a little closer to Grand Isle which is now a 60 mile drive instead of a 110 mile ride! If it rain's I guess we'll have to fry some fish or shrimp or maybe boil some crab's. Either way we'll have a few cold beer's to wash it down with!

Yep - I've been on that bridge. I like it down there. It's kind of mysterious and charming all at the same time. Not to mention all that great cajun food!

Our camp is close to the bridge, I took that pic from the rear of the camp. It goes over Caminada Bay at the pass to the Gulf.

I finally got my internet hook up fixed. have no idea what I did, but I finally was able to get on.

I have a 14x6 , 4 wheel utility trail that was down an embankment at the end of the driveway. I built some long wooden ramps to use on the 4' embankment. The trailer has been loaded with limbs, dead trees, etc for 2 years. It is HIGH. I hooked a long chain to the tounge and pulled it up the embankment. My neighbor was impressed that the F150 did it without straining.

Nothing like overcast skies, 70* and a 70% chance of rain for the day.
