Any update on that tranny slipping, Matthew?

 

I'd probably just do a bug bomb. It'd be super effective in that small of an area.

 

It's getting crazy here in canton. Sunday morning at 11am a woman was using our vacuum here at the station cleaning out her car and a young black kid car jacked her. Then 7:20 this morning a black man walked up and kicked one of our customers in the face when he opened his car door to pump gas. Then the guy started busting windows out of parked cars then he chased a female jogger up the street. The cashier saw it all happen and had to call 911 three times before one showed up and all he did was drive around for about 10mins then came back to the gas station and told the cashier if she sees him again call 911. I just don't understand why people pay BIG money to live here.

 

gonna work on that, not too inclined to crawl under the truck right now.

this^ the only way i got fleas out of my last house was to bug bomb the thing, and i mean really get it good, so, windows up and leave it sealed for at least 24 hours before you open it to clean.

Not really. It hasnt been doing it much, if it all since when i posted about it. I do have an appointment with a trans shop on the 11th, but thats gonna depend on how this frame appointment goes. if i end up with a loaner ill wait and see if its still there after.

 

Exactly why we moved from Highlandtown to Street in 2002 after growing up there. I knew I would wind up doing life in jail for murder.

What gas station so I know to avoid it? And so I can tell my cousin Donna too. She works at the nursing home on German Hill Rd. Where my mom used to be. I moved her up to Bel Air closer to me.

 

Gas station is in canton, a little ways from German hill Rd so I think she'll be alright.

 

I'm just trying to keep them from getting into my home.

Also afraid the bug bombs i bought will harm the plastics and interior of my truck

 

I doubt it. Theyre safe enough for the electronics and plastics in your house, probably the same for the truck.

 

How do you know you have fleas in your truck in the first place?

 

Cool, thanks.....didn't know if you meant the one right in Canton, or on the outskirts.

 

Long story short, worked at a place this weekend doing some demolition. Used my truck for transportation. Knew i had them on me while i was working, kept working anyway. Should've stopped and flea bombed before continuing, but I didn't. Got the work done. Picked a bunch off them off and burned them with my lighter like i always do with ticks. Drove home. Picked more off on the way home. Stripped bare ass naked in the garage and picked more off. Left my clothes on the back porch. Showered and picked a coupled more off. Got all clean and couldn't find anymore. All was well.

Worked around the house all day yesterday and didn't use my truck. Needed to go to a buddy's house last night. Got in my truck without thinking....and i was covered in them again. Called him and told him "sorry dude, it'll have to be another time." Went to walmart at 10:30 last night and got flea bombs. Stripped as soon as I got home and showered again no more sign of fleas, went to bed. Opened the truck this morning to get the flea bombs and they are still jumping around in there. Set it off at 11am and now i'm washing the outside of the truck

 

What kind of wash is that?! Does that work as well with well water? It's very hard.

 

That was done with a foam cannon...its intention is to cover the truck in foam....

Converts the soap to foam.

I use Adams Polishes car shampoo. Its the best soap i've ever used. It even takes a lot of the hardness out of my city water and helps prevent waterspots

 

Damn, that sucks! Glad you bombed the truck though. Guarantee it'll take care of them.

 

Just got done vacuuming for the second time. Wiped everything down. No sign of activity.

We'll take it day by day now. Hopefully this is the last of them. But i do have two more bombs just in case

 

I will say though, that shit gets everywhere. Not something i want to do again.

I'm glad i didn't leave the whole thing go off in my truck or the interior would be totaled.

I sprayed it into the seats and floor then held it in the middle of the truck spraying towards the headliner for 30seconds before throwing it 15 ft out into the yard.

It left this oil haze on everything that is a bitch to clean off.

 

God damn it Brian.

Going to start calling you Bad Luck Brian.

*cough* should've bought real tires *cough*

 

Wood.

 

In the tread, yes.

On the shoulder or sidewall, NOPE.
