    Satoshi'd grill. blacked out badges. aftermarket sound system. De-chromed and color matched. OME 885s + Dakars with 3rd leaf removed. LR UCAs. Scs stealth 6 with 285 duratracs. BAMF sliders
    Thats awesome, very unique. I did the same thing with that same toyota badge except i did MGM letters with a white outline. After doing a few color match jobs i have found buying better paint is worth the money. Duplicolor isnt great and the clear coat sucks, automotivetouchup.com makes really nice stuff. If you want a real nice durable finish buy some catalyzed clear coat in a can. Expensive but worth it, easier to wet sand out and polish for a factory finish. Just my 2 cents. Make sure you post pics of it complete.

    Im not sure if other carriers have anything similar, but we had horrible cell reception at my house with verizon. We bought a "network extender" from verizon off Amazon for $150ish. It connects to our internet and gives us full reception, we were very satisfied.

    Meh. Doesn't really make a big difference to me. I'm awake around 4:30 right now; when the clocks change I'll be getting up at 5:30 instead. I don't need to be out of the house until 6:45 anyhow, so I'll still have plenty of time. It always makes me laugh when I show up for work the Monday after we spring ahead and all my coworkers are :pccoffee:

    I usually get up pretty early too to walk the dog and shower. I like to sit and have coffee after prior to going to work.

    Though, this morning I got up a little late, took the dog for a walk, hopped in the shower, and then heard my damn phone alarm going off. Forgot I had a call at 7am, so now I'm working from home in my pj's:D

    Fall Back always leaves me with more spare time than I know what to do with in the mornings.

    Yeah, this time of year I get up, load the woodstove, take a shower, put a pot of coffee on the stove and go out and feed/water the chickens. The dog comes out and does her business, and by the time we come back inside the coffee's about done. I'll have a cup of coffee and watch the news, then wake the girlfriend up and go to work.
    During the summer the only real difference is that I don't have to load the woodstove, but it's offset by the extra time that goes into the chickens (meat birds in addition to layers means double the work)

    I don't like rushing my mornings. And I always wake up well before the alarm goes off, so it's easy. The girlfriend is NOT a morning person, and she sleeps in just as late as she possibly can. Can't really see how she finds that enjoyable, though, because she's always running around like a crazy person in the mornings because she hit the snooze button half a dozen times.

    I'm too easily distracted to work from home effectively. I've always got a list of projects that need doing that I just know would suck me in.

    But then i just feel like i'm wasting daylight. Even if I don't set my alarm, my dog wakes me up at 6am regardless. That's when he gets up and wants to go out to pee.

    X2.

    My dog's a big lazy lab/pit bull mix. I have to make her get out of bed in the mornings. The GF says that it's a sign of my insanity, that I'm awake before the dog is.


    Edit: Side Note-
    What the hell do I do with reputation points? Can I trade them in for a TW sticker or something? I sent TC Bob a request for one months ago but haven't heard anything back or seen one in the mail yet.

    Sleeping too much makes me less alert/ groggier.
