Son has a soccer tournament Saturday-Monday at the great park in Irvine.

Schedule is a little Fubar so probably look for something to do between games.

Staying with my mom in HB Harbor.

Woke up to a flooded garage....water heater decided to give up the ghost and the drain didn't work so....thats a freaking mess with carpet and ALL of my stuff from the CC house in boxes on the floor. :eek::rolleyes:


I just had that exact same thing happen. Luckily nothing on the floor got wet besides a gun safe which wasn’t damaged at all.

I caught it just in time. Walked out front to take the trash to the street and started to see a trickle of water coming out below my closed garage door.

It’s still a pain in the ass to deal with.

Kids have off the following week Monday , so planning a 4 day weekend then and hopefully the crowds are smaller where we decide to go...

Flying to Tuscon Sat morning to buy a 28 year old truck and attempting to drive it 1300 miles home to Montana on the word of a total stranger. Since I like to share my adventure with my ride or die, she decided she was coming with me as opposed to wondering if I would be stranded in the desert somewhere.

What could go wrong?
SW’s VGG?😁

Thankfully most of our stuff is in the big plastic tubs. Lost some owners manuals and kids books in cardboard boxes as well as some drywall damage and the carpet is soaked so it’s coming out. (our garage is partial indoor outdoor carpet)

Crap timing but it is what it is

Got called into driving duty to get friend’s stuff to Indy for the US Nationals. Got behind the scenes tours of Force’s race shop, Tasca,s race shop, and Bruce Litton’s museum. An epic trip so far and we’re just getting started.

There are several members here that live in Tucson. I think both @bagged97taco and @SW_GLASS both live in Tucson off the top of my head.

I'm actually going to our lake house to mow the yard and come home as my boat is still in the shop and my wife is quite preggers. Maybe I'll at least jump in and have a beer for old time sakes.

The rest of the weekend will be spent trying to not let my wife bankrupt us on a nursery and hanging out by the pool. I'm sure we'll do steaks one night.

Where is the truck at? If it’s doable I can check it out. I am leaving town tomorrow afternoon, but could swing by if it’s close in the morning.

I am planning on waking up Saturday morning and lighting my boat on fire………. Then using the insurance proceeds to find a new hobby. LOL
You have graduated from tax fraud to insurance fraud, this is a huge step worthy of celebration 👀😁

I have a 2017 Husky TC350 I ride up there, I try to get up there every Summer for at least a two day ride. Grew up riding up there from 1974 or so.

done before the weekend..still have to run new drains, replace flooring and cleanup some more damaged drywall…but function is key atm… hopefully now I can have some fun!

Found the receipt for the last one.. was just over 6yo…cost was 825$ installed with haul off of old one.. (2018)

I am.. $850 in this with the stand, new pan, hoses, and gas line… not including the rest of the stuff still to do, and no labor since I did it… these things have went up, even buying though my supply house channel 😳🙄

Make sure you add the leg to the pressure relief valve on the side of the tank.

@Flying_Lavey you are correct. Good memory. There are a few other members here in Tucson but I dont remember their names off the top of my head.

@Sportin' Wood I will be in Tucson all weekend. If you need anything while you are here feel free to hit me up. I will PM you my number. Also if the truck you are buying needs anything you want to fix before leaving town let me know. You are more then welcome to bring it over to the house and put it in the garage and work on it or if you need to borrow tools i can bring them and meet you if need be. Safe travels and good luck with the purchase.
