It was too early for that and trees shouldn’t shout ho-ho-ho and wave their branches at you. Glad you got your shopping done. Loved X-mass when my kids were home. Now days I am Scrooge. Glad you are keeping the gremlins locked up for us tonight.
If you didn't live in the land of grizzlies, you wouldn't think like a tree moving close to you meant you were about to become snack food.

Morning folks.

HAHAHAH, that happened to me at the COOP here last week. My daughter had a good laugh. This was a Santa in his chair, I walked by and his hand hit my LEGG and the music and singing started while he wiggled and waddled like he needed to P EE real bad. All I did was swipe his floppy little arm. For the price of 29.99 for him, I should've tackled him and tossed him across the store. HAI YA!

-12C here today...ccCCcccold.

Wannabe, glad yer here!

BobbyLeadPaintSpeedo must be sleeping.

Morning boys.

Did the wheel bearings in my truck last night. I went with the Napa SKF (CR) bearings for $206.00 each. Took 2 hours, the drivers side came right out, the passenger side needed the help of my 6# mini sledge. I am happy to report my vibration Growl is gone. The culprit was the driver side.

Taking the wife to see Brad Paisley and Darius Rucker tonight.


See ya'll tomorrow, (maybe)

Glad you got them changed Tim. I put the SKF on one side in the rear. They're Chinese but what the heck. I saw in another thread that Snapon actually makes a tool that looks like a deepwell socket to use the power steering to assist in the removal of the bearings. It was in the $45 to $65 range I believe.
