robb--congrats on the grandbaby!...We have 6 + 1 step ... The oldest is old enough to have kids too....but not yet thank goodness.

Rain...????...whats dat?...we got lots to do about nuttin'. lightning, thunder, dark clouds...and a sprinkle. Not enough to even settle the dust.

I got a rock. Tanks are lowest they've been in 12 mths. I must have a dome over my place, maybe it's the elevation changes. Many times a line of thunderstorms head right for me, as the get closer it's like Moses parting the Red Sea....

I got my truck back today. It was only the lift pump and only cost $968. Yippee!

It's good it was 'only' that! If you're happy, we're happy! :drink:

Definitey, it could have been the injector pump starved for fuel also. That would be $$$$ more.

bindian- Wow is it a year already. Time do fly don't it. We want a picture of the dive into the Birthday cake. One year olds are just too cute and the first birthday is special.

We're headed to Dallas this morning for our 4 yo grand daughters Party. It doesn't seem like she can be 4 and she's not even the youngest anymore. Denise left work early yesterday to go shopping and came home with a bunch of clothes for her presents. All the Grand daughters seem to be "Clothes Horses" at an early age, but they also have a little Tom Boy in them too.

Other than the Birthday the next best thing is we'll stop for lunch at my favorite Tex-Mex place, my old partner Matt Martinez's Rancho Martinez there on the G.W. Bush. I can already taste the Chicken Enchiladas Verde. Then we'll go to "Oldest Son's" place in Sachse and he'll try to get me to drink one of his "Beer Snob" Beers, but I'll just try to run him out of Bud Lite.

Anyone else's tastes change and do a 180? For 30ish years I've liked Budweiser and have never liked Miller Lite. Really like the Budweiser Select. Also Coors. But in the last year I've developed the taste for Miller Lite and also some of the fancier brands. My son in law mixed a Blue Moon with a Guiness (I had never had either one) and called it a Black n Blue. Was very good. Either my tastes are changing or they've altered their recipes.

I discovered Shiner bock in the 80s before it went mainstream and have stuck with it. Used to be only a few grocery stores and not many bars carried it. Now you can get it on draft all over. They make other flavors, but the only other one I like is "wild hare" pale ale. Never did care for light beer - runs right through me.
