I saw that on IG. What happened?

Copper line on the seal housing separated from it. It didn't look like it broke off, it's gotta be a manufacturing defect.

Load this stuff up and leave on Wednesday!

I haven't gotten anything done yet today. Sitting in the er with the wife. She can barely move with back pain, so I keep calling her Dan. My day and time is dwindling away and obviously its difficult for her to deal with the kids. Could be a week full of very late nights for me!

Lol.

I've never dealt with such back pain, it really sucks. I am currently planning on bringing my jeep, but it may not see the trails.
 
She is telling me its worse than labor pains. I feel bad for her but j can't do anything besides play Mr. Mom.

Dang it sounds like back pains are common in the Midwest. Mine has been sore for a couple days now.

You gonna be wheeling yours Dan?
