Gonna go with the compression test but not the leak down test...

 

Compression test came back totally normal; Just over $74 for oil change, compression test, and new air intake filter...

 

That's great news, your rings should be fine. I just did a compression test on that shitty Dakota a couple weeks ago and even it was about normal.

 

I want to make a much much longer response to this thread and i will as soon as I get some down time from my two kids.

But a few things that people don’t realize is this:
1) a lot of cops became cops because not only are they good people at heart, but they too also had a bad experience with the cops and what better way to serve your community and make a profession better than by joining up and becoming part of the solution.

2) as a cop, with in the first second and often before that, we need to assess who we are contacting, the environment that person is in, what’s happening, the environment we are in and everything in between. And where you are saying you have Asperger’s syndrome, which has its uniqueness, there are a thousand other things that have uniqueness as well. So aside from being proficient at assessing a situation for safety and the actual reason for the Interaction (DUI check point in that case) there is the matter of negotiating the intricacies of one of a thousand different unique personal situations.
3) fakes. The sad thing for people with legit syndromes and disabilities (I am now disabled and I get the dirty stares at the handicap parking spot right up until I start getting out of the car lol). But almost every cop has had more instances than we can count of the fake whee chair bound, the fake mentally disabled or physically disabled, the fake medical
Emergencies etc etc etc. And where the answer is start out as of every thing is 100% legit, the investigation never ends. After you have been scammed once or 10 times and got duped, it’s hard to not be suspicious and weary of everything. After all the majority of our clients are less than honorable people.

I want to type a lot more, especially on the military side of stuff too (we have a coast guard installation near where I worked and those guys thought a mil ID card was a get out of jail free pass).

but I’m going to leave for now with this one last thing. Some call it the “dust off”... I called it the “service”. I could never understand when cops would detain someone who turned out to not be involved or not doing anything wrong after a citizen complaint but we were legally obliged to investigate... afterwards why they wouldn’t say a simple “hey sorry about that. Here is what’s going on and we had to do “x”. If your late some where can we call them and tell them you were helping us as a witness etc?”

how hard is that?we get paid my the hour not the haircut. Why can’t we forward some civility and courtesy?

 

preach on, brotha’

paid by the hour thing made me laugh. My TO said that a lot. “I’m gonna be honest with you, sir, I get paid by the hour, so I am more than willing to get overtime off this”

 

Got some new magnets for the Taco (I’ve had the sticker for a while)...

 

Also got these...

 

First thing in the morning on August 7th; Didn’t enter in “judged” though...

Judges think that “stock” means it has to be a low-mileage garage queen with no dents, and I’m still pissed that the one guy deducted points because I had scratches in the bed!

 

Don't get it judged then! Join me on the non-judged field!

 

I've been going to the Carlisle Truck Nationals since 2012, and every consecutive year since 2016; I was gonna go to Ireland with family this year (was supposed to leave tomorrow), but COVID-19 brought those plans to a screeching halt. So, I'm making my annual pilgrimage to the Truck Nationals (8 days from now) like I always do.

A while ago (I'm thinking August or September of last year), another member recognized their 3rd Gen Tundra in pictures that I took at the 2019 Truck Nationals and invited me to park alongside them at the Truck Nationals this year; I forget the details of the Tundy (possibly a white SR or really basic SR5) they were from Virginia. This person may have in fact been on Tundras.com, and I will be posting this same thread there too...

Anyway, I've searched the whole site for this exchange and can't find anything. PLEASE HELP!

 

99% sure this is the Tundra in question...

 

And that this was the picture the owner of the white truck commented on...

 

Most miles I’ve put on my truck in a single month in a LONG TIME!

 

Looks like you are racking up a few, I probably only did half that last month.

 

Showed the truck in Pottstown this evening...

 

I was pulling weeds in the driveway this evening and heard a healthy V8 rumbling toward my direction so I stood up to see. Was expecting to see the usual Camaro, Mustang, or even a Pickup but to my total surprise a tubbed Maverick rolled by!

 

Tornado damage to the daycare center at Doylestown Hospital...

 

Football field at my former high school...

 

Literally across the street from my old school...
