    Oh that sucks. It was in the 90's here on Wednesday, cooled down a bit since. I really don't mind snow this time of year, it's gone in no time.

    They had to use an inflatable boat to get a couple of security guards out of the mall. They were on the second floor.

    Hope they all get repaired and back home soon. That's pretty bad :eek:

    I wrote down how much gas I got and the mileage... haven't figured out the mileage yet, though. Watched my scan gage at times.... got anywhere from 12 or 13 mph :anonymous: while doing 85 in western texas to 24 mph doing 55 - 60 on flat road. I'll check it in the next day or so and let you know.

    This was her third trip to AZ. She did great. No butt falling asleep or anything.

    They set HOT temp records two days earlier this week :eek: Was hotter here than in AZ :eek:

    I had my Bilstein 5100's and Eibach springs done today. I've only driven the truck a few miles home from the shop, but the ride seemed to be much nicer. It's about level now. I'll put up before and after pictures tomorrow. I'm not sure if the "better ride" is in my head or not yet, but it looks nicer to me.

    :( that's not good... I try and avoid them, but, sometimes they sneak up on you. Hope it's nothing serious. :eek:

    No plans yet, but they are having a memorial in my town for a soldier killed in Afghanistan. I live in a small town and this is a first, well since Vietnam anyway. They want a lot of support when they drive down Main Street. I'll be there.
