Good afternoon all! I picked up the compressor today. It is a pretty good size. About 4 feet tall. Belt driven... I ran into an unexpected problem. I don't have any air tools. Yet... I went to Home Depot and purchased 100' of air hose and a blow gun kit. Air ratchet and impact wrenches are next!

I wouldnt get your air tools at Lowes or any big box type. Get them somewhere like tractor supply or Rural King. No more than we use them they will last us. Not like we are mechanics by trade, if so, go for the gusto..Mine are all still chugging on

Good evening all. Hope everyone had a happy hump day. Going to eat some pizza and wach the cattle drive through town tonight to kick off the rodeo this weekend. It used to be a big drive, now it is like 12 cows and 30 riders. lol I will try to get a video if I remember.

Space, I passed the final inspection so time to move in. Moved the heavy stuff up to my house. Need to put the closet racks, towel racks, and shower curtain up as well as curtain rods and move the tools out. Leaving tomorrow for my grandpa's house to finish cleaning it so it can be sold. The the beach friday and my very last class on saturday. Sunday will be the rodeo. I will try and check in this weekend and keep the blog updated. I will officially move into my house monday for my first night there.

It was confirmed that 2 F-1 tornados touched down in the Chicago northwest and west suburbs (and they are very populated - tons of trees down). My town didn't get hit very bad, or the town that I work in. I could just imagine driving to work and all of the traffic lights down because of all the power outages. Below is lighting striking the Sears tower and Trump tower at the same time.
