Because it has been welded at the other end and doesn't have a jam nut. By rolling the new ball end like that it prevents it from flipping around. That rod is over $100. As it is I have $500 in parts. And that is more than the owner wanted to pay on this part of the job.

Evening pushup Queens and my Outlaw Woodrow's, LOL....

LiL Bit and I are off in a bit. I'm thinking some food first, maybe Texas Roadhouse. The one here has really good steaks and I can waltz right in and sit at the bar, know the bartender and she has us a spot saved....

Ain't been to Bully's in a while. Decent biker bar. May head over there after dinner. Pearl and LiL Bit are ready...

Take care Mick, Greg, Lou, Marky Dos, Larry, and whoever else is on...

Hasta Mañana

Ron, you talk a lot of **** for someone that's 1,500 miles away. If you don't like me for some reason, it's cool, but please, stand in front of my face and say what you say here....

Pretty girl and I are off, nite Woodrow's

Evening Woods.

What a day. Both Paula and I get a phone call today saying her aunt and my aunt both died early this morning. Her aunt had dementia and was in lock down 90% of the time, so in reality, its a good thing and we were expecting it. No big deal in the scheme of things.

Mine, well...according to her, has been dying for the past 20 years. So again, no big deal. She caused more issues than helped. She did buy me a stuffed bunny when I was born. Had that bunny for a long time. Mom fixed it up many many times between sewing on the eyes or fixing the ears. Actually gave it to Zach when he was born. He loved it too. Then the house burnt down. Miss the bunny wabbit!

You made reference to me, Sunshine. You seem to have the issue. Have fun with the box-cutter.
