    Ya know... if you put 35's on there and used the 4x4 switch... Might be insensitive to say this (but sensitivity m,ight not be my strong suit) but, your truck could identify as a truck. A beast of a truck in fact.

    Hey, my fine 2nd gen is absolutely a beast of a truck! He likes to be the grey man most times, but every so often he lets his inner beast come out to play, and damn if it isn’t freakin glorious to experience!
    Bystanders have been seen bowing in awe, admiration and respect.

    You were born in the year of the dragon.

    That explains a lot.:D


    I was curious so looked it up and I was born, year of the snake.
    This is what it said.
    Not sure if I agree.

    The Year of the Snake is of particular significance to people born in 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001 and 2013. Snakes are the emblem of cunning and evil. They are revered owing to their supernatural power. The Snake is born under the sign of wisdom.

    Did a quick search for fun. Apparently I’m a water pig? Legend says piggy was last to show up to the emperor because he had to stop and eat a snack. Explains why I’m always late to show up at Tigerton I guess lol. Celebrities who are the same sign are Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat) and Ahnold Schwarzenegger so yeah I’m sure the similarities are obvious. Very nice.

    My dad had an old mobile tool cabinet/carving table that was locked with a padlock and mom never found the key for it. I cut it with my bolt cutters today and found some neat antiquities and treasures inside.

    My favorite find was his old slide rule. I remember seeing in a high school year book of his that he was a member of the Slide Rule Club. We thought that was pretty funny as kids. Dad was a nerd long before being a nerd was cool. After serving in the Army he went on to become an engineering draftsman. I kinda want to learn how this thing works now.

    My dad had a slide rule as an electrical engineer. It’s amazing the things they were able to accomplish with those.

    Looking at the year of the ram, I'd say it isn't too far off.
    Particularly the bottom paragraph. ;)
