    I had a free donut, but I elected to work parking control for 15 hours in a monsoon.

    So that was a decision. :goingcrazy: :rain:

    The 9" bed bars will arrive this week also.
    Rich was kind enough to help me in the chase light dept. So I'll have MORE wiring.
    Might rig up a 3rd brake light on 1 of the bars, too.

    Call me silly, but looking at that picture brings a smile to my face and gives me a chuckle. (And it gave me a couple of hours of buffing)

    I remember when Car and Driver Magazine imported one of them. The EPA had it seized and crushed. :rofl:

    I'm accustomed to disappointment. It's gotten to a point where losing almost feels like a relief.

    I mean, what would I even do if I had millions of dollars and never had to work again? Buy a boat, and go fishing for weeks at a time? Travel the country in the 4Runner??

    What kind of life would that be, when I could break my back every day just to get by instead?

    It brings a smile to my face, as well. But, my paint has PTSD.

    Apparently the bold text above is okay because haha funny call me a communist unprompted. Cool, check, got it. I expected nothing less.

    I just realized all my mistakes in life and I'll stop posting smack talk about Azteks because it makes people sad. I think I need a break, PM me if you need me else I'll be scarce.

    Edit: @Pixeltim apologies I cannot read good and what I said was completely unwarranted. Quite sorry. Carry on.

    I'm on board with that.


    Yes,,,
    Tim may need some emotional support.



    I've been spending some on my paint.
    It actually looks pretty good,,,,from a distance.



    I like it,
    but not a real fan of open tops.

    Maybe
    I have to fix an exceedingly expensive and vital piece of high tech equipment today. If I have time and the news is looking wonderful, then yeah....

    Yeah, I hate those. On my 4 color Ryobi, that press has been amazingly reliable and trouble free for going on 19 years new, except for the #@$)*#@ electronic ink keys.
