When I had the granddaughter and her 2 year old brother here yesterday, couldn't understand what the boy was trying to say and asked her if she could tell.
"He wants some f'ing water.
What!?

Second full day with a cold, all I did today was cut some grass. It's not a bad one, but seems any kind of bug really tires me out now. Would have been a beautiful day for a ride, but not the rest of the month, looks like you guys riding out west have dragged some heat east with you.
Insurance inspector coming out to evaluate my roof tomorrow. That hail last week did quite a job on it. Found a Ram Rebel that sure was purty, black with black and red interior. No trailer brake adjuster, but I could live with an aftermarket one, but didn't want the big center console and sunroof. Oh well, always something. Lower miles than most pickups I've checked, too.

Unscheduled at this point and kudos to Mick for going 160 miles without shifting! We think the shaft the actuated the shifter arm is stripped so we are going to shim it and see if we can get that arm tight enough. We will try using strips from a beer can (Mexican of course) to act as a shim.

Good fix fellers....
As far as I'm concerned shifter linkages and all points on it are a maintenance item. I can't say **** because I've had 3 different things happen to the shifter assembly, all on long road trips. I try to watch it a lot closer, and actually carry an entire shift linkage and an extra lever and peg. If I don't need it sooner or later I'll run into a guy that does.
Tell Kristi great pics Russ.....

Greg packed his Twister game for entertainment on the trip.

That pic made laugh out loud! 
Sometimes it takes 2 to Tango!
And we were tag teaming that linkage into submission.
