Took my water trailer down to the repair shop and had some new springs installed on the front axle. I went up to 3500 lb springs in place of the 2500 lb springs it came with. I was originally nervous about going up in spring strength but was told because there's a balance rocker that it will just balance out.

You are SUCH enablers!!!Well, after my repair parts took a USPS tour across the country, literally from MA to CO to IN, they were delivered Wednesday. Finished it this afternoon and the thrill is still there. Slow and easy at first but short bursts of WOT were "exciting". The 30 YO Ni-Cad battery packs I have are "no longer worthy"... run time was about 3 minutes.So that will be my next purchase.

Well at 5:42 our power went off. So I got the generator going and am in my office with the window air-conditioner and my laptop. I shut down my desktop that has a UPS because the generator isn't charging it for some reason. No big deal! The power company put out an estimate of 10:30 for the power to come back on.

In my 6 years in the US, I’ve only experienced a power failure once; it was about 2 something weeks ago when I was taking a bath at about 9 p.m., and it lasted 5 or so minutes.And I have yet to see a rat or a mouse, seriously 🥸
I decided to make a teal inlayed deer antler ring for my girlfriend because our 1 year is coming up and i wanted to do something special for her. Pictures dont do it justice.
