Worked from 0430 till 1800 today got home had a quick bite to eat. Went out pulled the alternator and took it for testing. Took it to an auto parts store and had it tested failed but the price was significantly higher with a limited warranty so went to a second store. Had it tested again with the same failure but this time it blew the breaker on the test unit. Now with a new rebuilt alternator and a life time warranty were back home I'll install the part tomorrow can you guess the two socket sizes used the most..

As most everyone know by now I am moving to Colorado.
ASAP
I need help big time with moving. I am busy boxing and packing trying to get this done as quick as possible.
But right now I have no one to help me load the trucks. Yes I said trucks. I need to load one ith stuff I am taking with me plus a trailer with my truck. I do have someone to help me drive back to Co. provided I am able to get him back to Colo. by the 12th.
The other truck is going to my storage in Visalia. So I need to get that truck plus the Mini (so I can get back to SJ) over to visalia.
Is there anyone who can help me, Please.

Steve I can help you out on Sunday if needed. I would be willing to drive you back up to SJ if that would help you out. Let me know or Suzie could drive you back up Saturday morning, we both have a previous meeting to go to on Saturday night but she could leave in the early morning and be back in time. Or we could help you unload here in Visalia just let us know.

As of right now I have a friend who will help me load on Sat. morning. here in SJ, then we head to visalia. thats where I can use help to make it go faster. Then we head back to SJ to pick up and load second truck. So If I only have to bring the moving truck to Visalia and not the Mini and had a ride back Sunday morning with Moving helpers that would be sweet. let me know.

Looks like between 2-3 Steve will be at CMS. We should be able to leave by 3:30 and head to Visialia. Those from the south valley can meet around 4:30 at the storage.
