Paint booth is up and running. First coat is on.

 

fn priceless,,,
Dear Mrs. Ms. Or Sir: I'm in the process of renewing my passport and still cannot believe this. How is it that Radio Shack has my address and telephone number and knows that I bought a cable TV from them in 1987 (23 years ago), and yet, the Federal Government is still asking me where I was born and on what date. For Christ's sake, do you guys do this by hand? Ever heard of computers?








My birth date you have in my social security file. It's on EVERY income tax form I've filed for the past 35+ years. It's on my Medicare health insurance card and my driver's license, it's on the last eight damned passports I've had, it's on every stupid customs declaration form I've had to fill out before being allowed off the plane for the last 30+ years. And it's on all those census forms that we have to do at election times. Would somebody please take note, once and for all, that my mother's name is Maryanne, my father's name is Robert and I'm reasonably confident that neither name is likely to change between now and when I die.








Between you and me, I've had enough of this bureaucratic bullshit! You send the application to my house, then you ask me for my #*&#%*& address. What is going on? You must have a gang of bureaucratic Neanderthal morons working there! Look at my damn picture. Do I look like Bin Laden? And "No," I don't want to dig up Yasser Arafat, for shit sakes. I just want to go and park my ass on a sandy beach. And would someone please tell me, why would you give a damn whether I plan on visiting a farm in the next 15 days? If I ever got the urge to do something weird to a chicken or a goat, believe you me, I'd sure as hell not want to tell anyone!








Well, I have to go now because I have to go to the other end of the city and get another #*@&#^@*@ copy of my birth certificate, to the tune of $100. Would it be so difficult to have all the services in the same area so I could get a new passport the same day? Nooooo, that would require planning and organization. And it would be too logical for the @&^*^%@% government. You'd rather have us running all over the place like chickens with our heads cut off. Then, we have to find some asshole to confirm that it's really me in the damn picture - you know, the one where we're not allowed to smile.


Hey, you know why we can't smile? We're totally pissed off!


Signed- An Irate Citizen.








P.S. Remember what I wrote about getting someone to confirm that the picture is me? Well, my family has been in the United States of America since 1776. I have served in the military for something over 35 years and have had security clearances up the ying yang. However, I have to get someone important to verify who I am - you know, someone like my doctor....WHO WAS BORN AND RAISED IN INDIA ! And you assholes want to run our health care system?????

 

Looks awesome Jason!

 

Kids swing sets make some pretty darn good paint booths. I got 3 really good coats on it. Got some runs and drips but it should be really easy to touch those up if needed once I mont it on the truck.

 

that's hilarious what you did with the swing set. gotta see the finished
product.

 

I did it when I got my light bar and rear bumper guard. But this was a pain cause it was so heavy.

 

yea i bet especially if your trying to hang that thing up by yourself.

 

Yeah, that's what I did. I had my neighbor help me move it back there but not hang it.

 

well its worth the hassle. its coming out good.
you mounting those new lights you got on there right?

 

Nice swing set I bet Kyle will love playing on it once the paint dries...lol Go check out the Citrus thread for Nov. Campout dates please and stop playing around....lol

 

Thats freakin great!!!

 

Which company are you guys using for extended brake lines?

 

Lynnie & I are trying to get passports and its one bullshit thing after the other..The letter sent from my Dr. pal in the panhandle is just about spot on as sad as it is..

 

all pro for mine

 

Look in the group buy section, there's a guy selling them in there. $100 for all 4.

 

So, David (trdagule) from south Florida got me thinking over on instagram today. I measured and sue enough my winch wont fit in my bumper with the solenoid attached. So, my thought at this point is to go ahead and install my bumper and hold off on installing the winch until if figure out how exactly to relocate the solenoid. What does everyone think of this idea?

 

If you've got room you could make a bracket and move it behind the grill and just lengthen your cables

 

I intend on probably moving it under the hood on the drivers side, but not sure yet. I don't want to put it behind my grill cause it would stand out like a sore thumb with mine.

 

Install the winch now. I know on my bumper I'd have to pull it completely off to get the winch in or out. You can always run wires later.
