    We've been frequenting Toast in Littleton lately, sooo good. Can't remember the members name here that owns it. Highly recommend the Chorizo omelet.

    I've seen old refrigerators used for cold smoking. The internet has spawned a lot of, Hey why not, projects.

    Saw a gorgeous Bull snake yesterday.

    Good six feet long, probably more.

    Unfortunately I couldn't get a measurement before she was on her way.

    Upon further thought, I did reach out to them today about my delays. They were cool and understanding, yet that doesn't make me feel right about it. I was thankful they were cool.

    You had to think about it again to decide to call? Wasn't that the main issue you were having with trying to get the light bar for the truck bent was that no one would call you back? Communication and setting expectations goes a long way to keep things on track. Bet you're glad you made the call.

    I did have some success today getting one of the nerf bars bracketed and tacked. I also have to admit I somehow effed up the rear mating, I can save it, but damn it!!!

    I couldn't finish welding it up because the bottle is damn near empty.

    To me, there is a difference between a vendor that is waiting on YOU....vs. one of several that won't even call you back for the job in the first place.

    Im sorry, perhaps I hadn't stated that as well as I could have. Our Diff shop has been waiting for me to get the new case in place and tacked up so they can finish the welds and install the gear set. Then I can put the diff back in the truck, and put the rest of it back together. They'll make the rear driveshaft as well.

    Then I take the front out, disassemble all of it, and send that to them for gearing.....get it back and then put it all back together with new ball joints, bearings, hubs etc,...whatever it needs to make it right.
