    Problem being.....This could potentially throw a major obstacle in front of me as Black Mountain approaches. The employee I'm dealing with looks at full disability as a "goal". He want's to quit now. As soon as a doctor approves it and he can file paperwork, poof.....He'll be gone. It will be next spring before he let's me hire a suitable replacement.

    Hmmm. I don't have much respect for people that set 'goals' toward being dependent on other's.

    I won't say anything further on that subject

    Yeah....I COULD quit, but I don't want to. It would be VERY tight, but we could survive. I'm wanting to keep working as long as I can. So many people today look at being a dead ass and on the dole as a life long goal....an ambition.

    Living on retirement is one thing, drawing disability when you're not 100% disabled is another.

    It's rampant where I am. All of it, all the bad shit.

    If this guy get's disability, there will be 5 people living in his house that "get a check". His wife draws over $55K a year (because of kids) and hasn't had a job at all in her 36 years. He brags about how "smart" she is to get that kind of money. They get subsidized housing, food stamps, money, insurance, etc....and 3 of the 4 already on the dole have NOTHING wrong that prevents them from working. They just sit around and get high all day. What kind of life is that? Granted, he is loosing his vision. But he's HAPPY about the prospect of being able to quit working. Something is wrong here.

    Sliders are "out for delivery" according to UPS tracking!

    All that's left to be delivered is the Baja Designs fogs.

    Will order headlights in the next couple days.

    No idea yet. I would be good with OEM "stock", but would like something a little nicer if possible. Wanting to keep it inexpensive if possible. (Which won't happen with OEM...)

    I have to start from scratch with NEW lights. Parking lights have burnt/melted the lens, and the lenses are discolored on the inside. I've got a couple ideas, and will be calling the vendors to get further info.

    You could keep it inexpensive, and just color match the housing that sits in f not of the bowls. Or you can retrofit and have a complete one off setup. If you're going to replace the headlights, I would suggest going with Depo headlights they are pretty inexpensive for oe quality.

    Lens has a big burn in it on the inside. These are toast. That's why I'm replacing 'em.

    Sliders are here! In prime! Gonna shoot black in a bit. Install tomorrow.

    Just checked how much I've spent so far.

    No headlights this month. We hit the "wife approved limit". Done for now.

    Damn. This was fun.
