When you buy a house and get that first 1098 showing the Interest paid, and uderstand that why that number is what it is, you'll want to burn down every bank you see.

Nothing yet but the day isn't done yet. I do have a pair of Vice grips that I am in the process of sectioning for total grab/depth of the jaws. I seemingly can no longer get what I want so I now get to make them.

I did manage to get the press deck end tabs tacked, checked, and burned in so the deck has been remounted to the press frame. I still have to add the eyebolts for the lift chains and then figure out how to mount the lift winch so that the cable to the chains will track correctly. ODTAA.

Heading out to Phoenix for some clean truck body parts. Just made Ohio hopefully make close to Indianapolis tonight. 🤞if you see a grey Taco with Blue stripes on it bed give a wave!
let us know the route you're taking and maybe we'll meet up for lunch or something as you pass through.

there's also certain roadside attractions you'll probably want to see you never thought of!....no, not "those", but what about visiting where Smokey the Bear is buried? 👍

Heading down St. Louis, Oklahoma City,Albuquerque, to Phoenix. May head up and look at those two big holes in the ground in Northern Az. Not totally sure how I’m heading back to New England yet. Not sure if I can fit 6.6’ ford bed on the back of my Toyota or rent a trailer.I know I can put boards across the back so….Just not sure how to nice offices may like me 😏

Phoenix to Las Cruces to Capitan (Smokey the Bear Park) to Roswell (alien museum) to Carlsbad (caverns) to Fredericksburg TX (Nimitz museum and Japanese gardens) to San Antonio/Austin to Dallas (Summit Racing) to points east

might as well do all the touristy things while out this way , especially if you never been and not sure if you'll ever make it out this way again

got some spare time and worked on the auction truck. scrubbed door panels clean, scrubbed wheels, scrubbed radiator cooling fan assembly and wiped all grease off it, sprayed the hell out of the MAF sensor to clean it, scrubbed the air filter box, installed some 5/16" line to loop the transmission lines together.
next step: reinstall MAF, start her up, empty the nasty remnants of cooling system, turn her off. then install the remainder of the cooling system and antifreeze.
once this is done I can take it back to Discount Tires to get the other 2 tires installed, then to the carwash to vacuum all the caked dirt and dust out of it and shampoo the seats.

this is after cleaning the black strip and half the armrest
