    Happy Sunday.

    Mix of rain, snow, and sleet on and off around here.

    In other words, shitty weather.

    Any good repair shops for Tacoma in CT. Sounds like my rear axle bearing making noise. I don't have a press or adapter to DIY. THANKS.

    I know of an "All Red" show in Orange I never paid attention to in the past.
    Think I'll have to bookmark it this year. :rofl:

    Shopping around for heating oil for the first time since being in our house. Have been loyal customers since moving to our current spot in 2015. Given them business for service, fuel, and a new roth fuel oil tank 2 years ago.

    Just learned we are paying a buck more per gallon than other companies in the area.. Gave them last look, and they are only coming down from 4.41 to 4.09. Got three companies in the area between 3.40 and 3.49.

    It never ceases to amaze me how the company that people already have never really tries to keep their customers by offering them better deals, when others clearly have better deals for the same exact thing.

    Why would you want to lose a customer, especially if they've been loyal?

    Bunch of idiots.

    The red looks stunning, as a side note, I had a red pickup truck at 1 time. And can't remember the color from the factory. But after the second speeding ticket I figured I should be calling it. Arrest me red

    That's okay, a trip to DMV is a good time. (Actually, Norwalk DMV had their S*** together last time I couldn't get in to Danbury.
    Looking good! I've got a silver dollar sized spot on the bed we need to talk about. :D

    Already called DMV.
    Last time I changed color, it was a simple change of color form.
    Now, they want me to make an appt. and bring reg and title. Title?? Why?? :notsure:

    I'll do all that when I get her back.

    Casheatingoil.com for a rough comparison. Add around 0.25 if your getting oil from a full service dealer.
