    The lady friend has been looking at rescuing a GSP. Name’s Harry, probably going to change it if the adoption goes through. Definitely a shy guy, but he does like to point and he’s still had a lot of energy. 3-5 years old as a guess. Little bit of something else in him as well, probably lab.
    Had she been looking for a puppy, definitely would’ve messaged you for some recommendations.

    Ideally - I wanted to wait till the new year since we’ll both be traveling home for the holidays, back east, but women are persistent when they want something

    I really hope nobody thinks I'm a skinny guy.
    I must say, never trust a skinny cook!
    This food was amazing. Not just because we made it but the flavor and the fruit and the BBQ. I'm going pro when I retire.

    In a dutch oven, butter (let it melt), a #10 tin of your favorite fruit and top it off with a box of white cake mix. Cover and cook til it's cake like on top.

    Tastes pretty good but avoid the really sugary cake mixes otherwise it's too sweet.

    Honestly not 100% positive lol. Just going off what others have said. Steering is loose and shakes/jolts quite a bit over the smallest bump, and small clunking noise when turning. I'm assuming the ones on now are stock and im at 140k. Maybe just ball joints? Open to suggestions though. I've replaced them before on other vehicles but never my own and seen the horror of one breaking lol

    I would at least lift the front end up on jacks and see if you can move anything around that could be the cause. You wouldn't want to buy all those new parts only to find it was something else completely. It sounds like it could also be related to steering linkage or the rack. I've got similar milage and I need to replace my rack bushings, but I've also already replaced my LBJs too
