    Perfect time to buy a dometic. It’ll hold at least 3 frozen pizzas and some ice cream.

    Double check because you can charge shocks with argon. Nitrogen is just cheaper which is why it's more common. I had mine charged with argon. Any inert gas will do.

    Then you just need this.

    I have the firehouse marquee sign at my house but its been too cold to do more outside work on it and finish the paint. Do you have any gold paint laying around?
    Need to sand the noses down since the wind over the weekend was too brutal and I couldn't get the gun dialed in properly. But the plan is to have

    on the front facing 55 and then have the frame all black and have Engine4 Tanker4 Medic4 Tanker4 etc stencils along the frame.
    Gold would like sick on the red; not sure what color would pop the apparatus pieces against the black frame.
    Come by my house if you wanna see it.

    Yep. Pack out this Friday for NTS and next week for HHG. Those two parts of my move had to happen since I sold the house. My orders aren't until June, so technically after the current stop move (even though it will likely get extended); I'm being told now that the Corps will be doing a 3-tier system starting July 1st, so everyone who had orders prior to July will get pushed until at least then. Based on my interpretation of the tiers, my move would happen in August at the earliest.

    We don't have any paint laying around. The painters mix paint as they need it. Probably be best to just have vinyl lettering made up in gold for that

    Have you checked YouTube? There’s a super in depth king one by filthy motor sports (I think that’s who does it). I imagine it’ll closely mirror a king shock.
