  1. I've been working on my backyard project...trying to get the sheathing on the roof. the heat was unbearable but I started putting some of it up... now, it's raining all day... geez ... can't get a break

  2. I've got a lot of relatives in the northeast section of the country. Man, are they getting hit with a lot of water run off. Super flooding taking place. Anyone else up in that area experiencing flooding?

  3. I've got one more car to get picked up and I'm OUT OF HERE! Long weekend with family and friends... and some golf time.

  4. I've got this cold weather figured out. It's cold and I don't like it. That's enough I figure.

      I looked at them but got scared away when I heard they were going to be no longer using them.

      there is a new one coming out but the IDS will still be useable, all the way back to 95... anything older I've got the NGS to cover that. I had to get the reprogramming part and to complete my information on the BCM info. I do more body mods and electrical systems. not near that much in engine or transmission. so I had to spring for it.

      I agree its still an awesome tool. great for 6.0diesels also.

  16. Just came back from Kansas. I was at the Vision HiTech Training Expo lots of new equipment, scanners, and other tools. Lots of big name trainers giving classes and lots and lots of people at the convention. Super day to go window shopping for new equipment

  17. Just finished up my ASE tests using the new computer based testing. Goes much faster than before. I like it a whole lot more than the pencil and paper method.

  18. Just got back from a week in Florida shooting video spots for AVI. Glad to be home again.
