    Hi Jay, installed Westin Signature tube steps for the missus(vertically challenged) so she wouldn't struggle to get in. Like the look and they bolt to the frame for strength. Took about 45 minutes to install.

    Beautiful pup there Cap'n. :)

    I love her blue eyes.

    I'd take it back if I could figure out how. It's 53F outside at my house right now. :goingcrazy:

    Evening all:
    The part about looking out for your fellow Americans scares me. I think it means something way different than it did at one time! :(

    Yea Capt.; looks like here we go again! We're also in the bullseye. I usually don't mind winter, but this is getting old.
    -3 deg. here this morning, couple days of lows in the 20's , then back to single digits for lows!
    If I remember this right; they say when we are around 0 deg. here on the East cost, we are at the equivalent of something like -30 deg. in the Midwest. Something to do with the humidity! ???? Either way - BURRR!!!!

    I would stay away from the chrome because of the salt and grime.
    But the Toyota site has running boards and tube steps you can check out.

    Westin has one I would like to get. It's called a Westin, Accent Tube Bar. Like a rock slider, but just for show. Fits under the rocker panel, closer to the frame than a standard Step or Nerf.

    This proves you don't have to have any intelligence to work for the Gov't. Scary as hell:eek:

    Hospitals cutting back on staff, doctors giving up practices, insurance companies and politicians getting rich...what next...:eek:

    The hospital the wife works for is opening up 2 more "Doc In The Boxes"(clinics) and they are still laying people at the hospital off...mostly senior people making good money...:facepalm:

    :eek:

    Calling for possibly another 12 inches:frusty::notsure::pray:...we'll be in the snow till mid May this keeps up:eek:

    Attached wedding photo of my mom's younger sister, Helen, to Uncle Roy Charrier. He passed away Tuesday in California, age 93, a survivor of the attack on Pearl Harbor and a crew member of the USS Oklahoma on that fateful day. RIP.[​IMG]

    Hope you can stay home until it's over

    :woot: for new pup

    I meant mom and sperm donor or drug addict and sperm donor or addict and dad stepping up and being parents. Way too many folks having kids and then forgetting about them. There are many good black/minority kids - those who have two parents (some only one) that actually care about how their kids turn out. But way too many don't care. There was an article in the paper a couple of years ago about poverty. A lady had 7 kids by seven different guys and ALL OF THEM were in jail. Not a one paid a red cent in child support. Just went around and got women pregnant. There's a guy that has OVER 25 kids and only makes minimum wage, so he only has to pay like a single dollar in child support. These are the kind of people I'm referring to.

    Hope the crooks avoid your place.

    My pockets are about to be gone. Seams are held together with strings :eek:

    :eek: :burnrubber:

    That's messed up. Typical federal bureaucracy

    :facepalm:

    :( sorry for your loss RIP Uncle Roy. Nice looking couple.
