Found a bunch of "minor" problems with the truck up in the air, leftover from the recent ValAir install:

also this is why you buy after market bumpers, just incase some one decides to tag you on your way from from the grocery store.


two lanes turn left i was in outside lane, he did not maintain his inside lane and tagged me.


bumper needs fix/replace
headlight fix/replace
fender fix/replace.
tire has a big scuff on it unsure how they will handle that. and i dont know if it needs alignment yet.

Sorry to hear about the wreck! Looks like you came out better than they did. Did that Taurus? actually damage your bumper?

yes it did. right under the headlight there is some thin metal and it broke a weld and bent that up, so his insurance will need to replace it. or pay to replace it.

Just thought I would stop in and introduce myself. I work with Robert (TexasCTD). He keeps trying to get me to come up to one of your get togethers. I will try to make one here in the near future. Keep me posted Robert in case I forget to check in here. And to make it confusing I am Robert too.....

We will not hold it against you for knowing Robert, Robert.

Stay tuned and come up the first chance you get!

Try to make it over here sometime. It's 3 hours from my house to LA Downs and about another 40 minutes to The Ranch, via I20 and US 75. Cutting across 69 at Lindale is probably a little faster.

Oh great!

Not only another Robert - but another dang copper as well!

Too bad DPD has such good pension & benefits - we need the Roberts to work here in McKinney PD so us locals could get a break on Excessive Smoke, Worn Tires, Too Many Headlights, Loud Exhaust, Failure to Signal While Changing Lanes During Powerslide (who would've guessed that last one was a ticketable offense - go figure! )

I plan on being at the ranch after class on Fri...

Hope the truck still remembers how to run after 2 weeks of down time

Almost feel like I'm neglecting her! Replacing all the compression fittings and nylon hose with push-lok stuff... I miss only losing .5psi per hour!



RJ: Haven't tried out the new tune yet, need to go pick up a truck load of mulch on wed... Sounds like a good excuse!

Man I'd like to make one of these things and meet y'all....

But diesel is rather expensive, I'm rather far (240 odd miles) away...

So it ain't looking good.

My truck looks like heck anyhow.
