The 87-89 odometers are known for not turning all the way over for a few miles. They are also noisy. When my trip odometer's white digit turns to zero, I can hear it click.

That is obviously a 93, with the updated speedo (airbag equipped). I don't know if those had the same issues.



I woke up to this garbage on my windshield.....

LOL, JMO but that's never garbage on the first day. Depending on how fast and hard it shows up it can take as much as a month before it becomes garbage. When the kids were young, garbage day was dependably Dec. 26th.

None of that garbage yet (1"-3" forecast for today, though), but this kinda sucks considering yesterday's high was 66°.

Looks like you are a day behind us. It was 64 when I woke up yesterday morning.... and today it was 24.

I am hoping it will be warm enough to do some work outside this weekend. Right now it looks like I can.... but the forecast has already dropped about 10 degrees since Monday.

Keep an eye on your Saturday and Sunday forecast, it may drop. I can't remember for sure, but I think we were forecasted 60 on Friday and 68 on Saturday.

I want to get my he-shed all metaled up this weekend. Hopefully I don't cut my damn hands, LOL. The little DeWalt 1/4 impact is going to get a workout. I am using it to cut the metal, and then hang it. I wish I had 2 of them.... Hmmmmmm ?!?!?!?

I used a circular saw with a finer-toothed blade installed backward to cut the corrugated sheet metal for the garage. Noisy as hell, but it did a good job.

I hadn't thought of that method... I bought one of these. When I did my last shed, my hands got so damn cramped from cutting it all with my Wiss snips. I can hook this to my drill, or my impact. I would just prefer my impact because I think it's a little easier to get carried away with the drill, LOL.

I watched a lot of videos on this bad boy, and it looks pretty sweet.
