fighting wicked infection, hospital did nothing for that. guess they figured I could handle it.an IV of hydrogen peroxide would be nice about now.

hence, off to the fair (oldest? one in America but have to check)

ok fellas- bacon, fried potatoes with peppers and onions, sausage, pancakes with home made maple syrup, french toast for chaikwa, rabid coffee for those who need it. Giving CIN the day off to rest....

Scotty, only you could shuffle sidewalk blocks you Canuck you! rest!
Did they at least give you a tetnus shot? Went into Luther for a couple tacos and a beer last night. Just after the buffalo farm, had something small and light colored shoot across the road into the weeds in the ditch. A little further up by the 4 way stopwhere you turn south into Luther, there was a husky in the road looking for trouble. He must've discovered "cat corner" there and was hot on the trail of the one that ran in front of me. There's a vacant barn full of ferrell cats there. Haven't seen them out hanging by the road last few days, usually you go by there after dark and you see eyes lit up all over. One of the old timers at the bar started telling me about this " BIG COYOTE" he saw up by the 4-way earlier, one of the biggest he's seen before...

well I get to try round two.......... was trying to finissh up instalation of new shocks yesterday, front passenger side gave me fits. The captive nut broke free and then the fun began. no way to get a wrench on the nut with the coil in place, out comes the floor jack, up goes truck lifted on frame. Out comes bottle jack between axle and bump stop. disconnect roll bar at top of end link. Jack the axle down loosen shock tower, shock nut. compress shock, and quick get level kit out from top of coil, recompress shock, get coil off over top of shock. Try for 3 hours with various methods of stopping that nut from spinning on that bottom shock mount bolt with no luck. Put everything back together in utter disgust and call it a night...... headin up to a friends with better tools to see if I can win this battle. lets see, in the midst somewhere along the line, floor jack handle sprung up and cracked me end on along eyebrow. lost half a pint on that maneuver, now I know what those mma guys go through trying to see with blood in the eye. with any of m y typical luck it will rain while tying to attempt the final fix. to any of ya with 100k on the truck, I will let you know that the shocks fromthe factory are tired, and need replacing. I was steered away from bilstein by a front end shop, and went with rancho RS9000 xl's on the front, and rs9000 on the rears. there is a 100 dollar rebate on a set right now, search rancho rebate, brings the price I paid shipped to $269.

That's kinda redundant. Wouldn't ALL of your visitors be from out of town?
Not if you live out of town. Then you never have visitors, you have INVADERS.

Sure he does, once a year, after his hair cut, he gathers up the 'pile' and re-roots it in diesel fuel. Some time later, family secret (nobody knows for sure) a dustbunny pops up, and grows up through the belly button lint stage, then on to full fledged furball. That's why there are furball sightings all over the world...



As far as giving advise, I don't ever mind. I know I need plenty.

Be glad you didn't have to try to find a replacement shock bolt for a grand cherokee... metric, but they're souldered so you can't just run to the hardware store. I ended up drilling and replacing with grade 8's. Been leaning towards some 9000's, how long is the wait on the rebate? I heard it was quite awhile.

While this little fairy tale is quite entertaining, and may even make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, Im afraid your logic is flawed....



No haircut has ever taken place.
