Nope, not a stroke. The aspirin has kicked in and I can sit with little pain but twisting side to side is not happening. The wife will not be happy with her duty ...

Probably a peripheral nerve around L4.
It's sad when you can hurt yourself while sleeping. [Coffee]
Probably too much fence/deck building and landscaping...
Now that it has the side stairs and some stain on it, I can start the next section.
It will be the technical one. Have to incorporate the fence and a gate on to the deck.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8360e3a204.jpg
With the pain you’re describing, I’d try doing cat / cow stretches, and regardless of my similar love for coffee I’d pass on your next cup and have a glass of water and banana instead.
I should listen to my own advice as well, it’s going to be a long day getting this roof ready for inspection of the OSB.
No bananas on hand, could not finish the second cup and I have been drinking water. The aspirin has helped a lot and I do some stretching in a slow and determined manner. I can twist enough the the wife is very happy but left the house anyway, has to take the daughter some laundry detergent. I guess I will not be at the gym for a few days in any case.
Swing by my place in Parker with those LED's and have a beer to wait out the traffic...Quote:

It cost $320, about half of what it costs in the mountains of Boulder County.
After it was pumped I covered the tank with a 3/4 yard bucket of wood chips to help identify the location and make the next dig out a little easier. The soil was replaced, leveled and reseeded. One more project out of the way, yea!

The tree/shrub on the left is Chitalpa, a cross between Desert Willow and Catalpa. It has flowers like the Catalpa but blooms much longer from June to November. The hummingbirds use it heavily. I have four in the yard and will plant more next year.Quote:

Won't be closed in. Will have a post/rail fence section with gate at north end to match rest of fence we built this summer for the princess. Deck goes to north end of house and across to other side and back south as far as the section in pic.Quote:

Four rail post/rail fence with 5' chain link. GSD proof so far and rusticy for Mrs bo.

Picket/panel section is just temporary as I could not run post/rail fence to side of house until deck built. The post/rail fence will be incorporated into the deck and will have a gate in it to access rest of deck that wraps three sides of the house. Reba will have access to section of deck in back yard only.

Hopefully just keep them out. If we end up staying in Colorado we intend to raise buffalo.
That fence will be 4 rail upset tubing. [emoji106]
I keep telling Mrs bo, beasts in the yard are pets, beasts in pasture are dinner. She keeps trying to get more beasts in the yard.[emoji1786]
We used to have a horse that would put his head through the open window almost everyday & made it most of the way in the house once too.
His name was Jett.
I'd be happy to swing out your way, Sir. It would most likely be on a Friday though. Have lights, will travel....more so just to say howdy in the process.Quote:

Take a long holiday

Good luck... :)

I've got the fronts figured out pretty good...probably 3 hrs. I figure. Rear is kind of a mess that I need to read up on some stuff about.
Did get the other brake line adapter I needed, so I can finish plumbing all that and get it bled when I have some help. I still need to dig that gizmo out of the master cylinder rear line for the disc conversion.
Funny, .... I ordered and picked up the shocks. Never thought to ask the guy what color they were.
Of course the boxes have the traditional blue/yellow on em, and I thought....oh nooooo.
I was relieved they were brushed aluminum with black boots.... ahhhhhh.
Take off the boots. They just trap gunk.Quote:

P.S. rear disc... What are you doing for e-brake? Line lock perchance?
Everyone knows the line lock goes on the front brakes. Makes for awesome burnouts.
I noticed Tim K got a promotion. : )
I prefer brake lock outs for the rear. That way you can "drive" the burnout if you so choose.Quote:

This rear diff came out of an E-350. I have access to all the cables needed, and I will pilfer a left side cable that was somehow missing. I don't think it will be overwhelming to fab a similar frame rail bracket for the main cable, as the second cable operates off the first. The only trick on that is mating the new stuff to the old regulator and managing the excess cable in this application. With the lift involved, the excess isn't a bad thing.
If I can't use the OE regulator, I'll just mount the E series one in place of the OE. I should be able to make it work though, I'm gonna try at least.
There is one interesting thing about making a Frankenstein Vehicle.....remembering which parts you used from what to get replacements for later. Ha!
Um yeah...I need front pads for a 79 F 250. Oh and some rear pads for a 02 E 350. There's a lot of E stuff mingled into this build.
I'm kinda pissed off my main way to get to work will be closed until monday morning. This I-70 bullshit project is nonsensical from inception....let alone the inconvenience in the meantime.
