Ha ha ha... I didn't hear the Fedex guy. Discovered the wheels had arrived by the delivered email notification. Nerd.

Evening Y'all,
Well today I learned something that I am not to thrilled with. My boss sold a car and he wanted to replace the fuel pump, just because it was fifteen years old, thats cool BUT. He didn't want to wait until I got back from lunch and decided to start the job his self. Instead of removeing a couple of lines a few wired, the real half exhaust, and two straps he took a skill saw with a metal blade and cut a hole in the floorboard under the rear seat.
Rickie ain't gonna work in a place that will do some jack leg crap like that.

It is in an area that will not be seen by anybody other then a tech but it is a hack thing to do and I won't play like that, or be associated with any sort that would, so I am one the hunt for new digs

Simple, I can take that spare tire off that truck with two fingers, well a thumb and finger

I'm pissed about it, guilt by association and all that jazz.
Oh well, gonna have some fun tomorrow, the grandsons do not know about the M1078 yet so I am going to just drive over there tomorrow and lay on the horn, which by the way is the weakest little sissy tooter I have ever had the dis-privileged to lay ears on. I am gonna have to get my hands on a set of train horns, it's not like I have to worry about plumbing air for them

Wow, I always forget how expensive gas is in other countries. 37 gallons cost that much!

it was about that much, here in utah, just a couple of months ago. in US dollars. the exchange rate is .78 US to 1 AUS. so, a couple of months ago, that would have been a bargain, here.

Well final inspection uncovered a blown 1156 bulb, other then that the M is completely inspected and the army did a full resto on this thing before they sold it. It needs nothing, not even a single fluid changed

Remember he is in AZ. Touring a neighborhood in a golf cart on a 115 degree day will never sell a house, just kill the clients.

Good morning folks.

I think Sid has a little bit further the travel than a hood, although I could be wrong.
