    After going to Bridgeport this weekend and getting everything cleaned up for the most part I noticed that my truck sounds different. It sounds like the power steering is low and the pump is whining but it is fine. I know that water kills the alternator but does it whine before it dies? Any other ideas of what it could be?

    Muddy water and dirt and shit in any of the pulleys will make goofy noises. Just ask Adam.

    Hate to say it; but it beats me without looking at/hearing it.

    If you come by I will want to go to world of beers so I don't drink alone. Then drink some Revolver and Live Oak on tap. Hmmm... Maybe a mini meet?

    Beer always sounds good. It's a miracle I only had 1 tonight after the long, busy day I had.

    I'm free most evenings this week. Just need to put my son to bed first so 7:30-8:00 would be good. I'm just south of 20 so not too far.

    Added extra awesomeness to its original awesomeness.
    So is someone drinking beer this weekend? I happen to have a 3 day weekend, plenty of time for drinking and recovery.
