Good morning everybody. Just a quick pit stop. Getting going extra early this morning down here in beautiful Mexico. Today is chain saw, pick axe and shovel day. The winch on the truck is going to get a workout, uprooting trees. Every day here is fantastic. The weather here sure beats the cold and severe air pollution I have been living in for the last few months. Been very busy since I have been home and still have not had time to go back and read the old posts, but even if I did, would there be anything exciting that I may have missed?

Filled up the truck yesterday and am shocked at how much more it costs to fill the tank. It now costs more than twice as much to fill up compared to when I bought the truck.

Bob, are you by any chance painting a round room and looking for the end? Maybe you should not be drinking so much ph00?

Adios.

Howdy ya'll. Saw on the news this morning that the northwest got a pretty good blast of cold weather. Shut the roadways down because of zero visibility.....I'll take my chances right here where it's clear, sunny, and 45* .

Had a LONG day yesterday and have a lot to do today but my motorvation ain't showed up yet. Oh well, I have the right to be tired after being up for 32hrs. Have I mentioned that my shift at work sucks? No, it's not a 32hr shift....only 12...but when I leave outta there on Monday morning I have to start getting things done because I have class from 1-5 the rest of the week.

I could take a nap right now. Thinkin about it. Yep, I might just do that. Nah, need to get going.

Later.

Even Jake had had enough.

No. We got together a few weeks ago. I wouldn't have been very good company yesterday anyway. I did 3 shifts worth of training, back to back and by myself, and just wanted to get home and crash. Still recovering from that one!

Greetings from windy Indiana.
Had to get all six tires (general altimax ice radials with 25k miles) swapped out after rebuilding the front end and still having the driving on jello feeling. None would balance properly from new. After doing the front end repairs...the jello was worse.
Got 6 Firestone Transforce HT's this time. Nobody would say what was wrong but all agreed it was a strange ride. lol

I posted a couple questions in the 3rd gen all yrs non drivetrain section...heater blend doors and blower motor related...maybe someone from this great room has the answers.

Hello to olive ewe lovely dtronians and dtroniettes. Heading back to Canada tomorrow. My shoulder stayed home for this trip but if still hurts. dang phantom pains.

Hey, buddy. Good to see you posting again. Hope your shoulder is fixed this time for good.

My recirc door took a crap right after I got back from the Stan... I'll take a peek and see what you have.

Evening. Went over to our neighbors and had supper... the guy that cooked the burgers didn't know what was going on, I guess... I had two raw burgers for super. That's ok, I like them rare. I took Angie's outside and cooked it again.

Beer and pain... not enough of one, too much of the other.
