    True dat but then I have to wait for management to schedule the repair guy.

    Naw. my plan is to have something paid off by retirement so they can't kick my ass out. A 30 year mortgage means I'm not retiring until 70...

    that would be awesome. I haven't done a lift before and not sure I have all the tools required. I also need to change the belts on my gen 1 taco. They are getting old looking and cracking.

    Who is this "we" you are volunteering? ;)

    Desert Rat has gained my favour as of late.

    And I've not had the dealership on Eubank and Copper let me down yet.

    Otherwise, can wait for the next wrench meet or start one and everybody pitches in to get stuff done for the cost of food and drink.

    And I usually advertise when I'm going to be out in the garage working on the latest project. Will help peeps that stop in. Have most every tool needed except a floor jack and jackstands. Typcially somebody lets me borrow them if I have a heads up.

    I'm actually going to be out there this Saturday, probably tearing the interior apart to do the audio install. Either that or I gotta drop in and see Scott sometime to do some wiring and drink a beer or two.

    I need to get the taco jacked up, expand the coils with that spanner wrench, check re torque everything and possibly change my oil... but I need someone with a floor jack, you, to do half of that hahaha

    none
    Hey guys...Fall is in the air here in NM and I'm itching to take the boys trout fishing. The biggest thrill I've given them thus far is a fishing excursion over at Isleta Lakes. They limited out as dad watched & offered his hard to come by do this and do that... but I'm hoping I can show them something a little better than a hatchery bait & hook Wal-Mart level experience; if you know what I mean. Maybe some fly... Got any suggestions short of the Quality waters below Navajo?

    Thanks in advance!
