cleaned the truck up, went to the grocery store, ran the weed eater and now watering the yard good. This hot wind is doing a number on the grass and plants. Haven't started packing, going to be another late night drive.

Yes it's a hot wind, straight from the desert. So glad it's not humid and hot, actually bearable if the 100's can be considered bearable...

Went over to my dads tonight. I got him a Lowes gift card for Fathers Day/Birthday (his birthday's tomorrow). Then before I left he gave me a Rusfree gun and a HVLP Gun. Said he found his other Rus Free gun and didn't like the HVLP Gun and he couldn't return it since he used it on the dump truck. Now If I can just find a way to get his air compressor.......

I need me a bigger compressor. The one I have is fine for somethings but when I use the DA sander or sandblaster, just wont keep up.

I just have a little 6 gallon PC. I figured it'd be ok for filling tires and blowing the grass off the tractor but I was wrong. When I'm topping the tires off on my truck it kicks on about 2x per tire then I have to wait for it to build pressure and shut off. Blowing the tractor off is a chore. The thing never quits running and can't keep up so I just go until it gets down to 30 or 40 psi then wait for it to build back up to 120, then repeat Can't complain for $50 though. It's starting to make some pretty bad sounds so it's probably not much longer for this world.

I have a 60 gallon. Runs off of 110. I'm looking at a 220 unit at Lowe's for $499. I'll get it one day.

My shop is a 25ft by 35ft. If I can just shop my wife from putting her junk in there, I would have lots of room.

Right now I'd be happy with a 20x20 enclosed carport. I found one on CL for $850 with overhead storage. Not sure how tall it is, I want to put my truck in it too.

Had a great fathers day......after I got some new allergy pills....last night was miserable and so was this morning.....

I've got to get my compressor fixed.....the tank checks leak by when its not pumping causing head pressure to build up so when the motor kicks on, the excess head pressure causes the motor to overload and to pop the breaker.....
