You may find a place but in 5 or 6 years it will be overrun anyway as people try to get away from everyone else.

 

Yea I think all of us should not go there...
At least in here....

 

Hello friends! Happy Wednesday...

55F this morning.

Yet another layer of complexity to my life: Daughter passed her driver's license test yesterday...

 

I’m glad I’m way up here...



JK.

Wishing her the best... congratulations..

 

She wants a pickup truck... I'm looking at Rangers, can't afford a used Tacoma. Wife didn't bite on the idea of building myself a 70s F250 with a Cummins..

Sorry ,can’t fix what’s not broken.
Get another car outside.
Saw a younger man walking to car
I go over and try to get some info.

So I told him it was system and bulb checks. Start it up and count to 10.
All light off.
They were never on driving down the road....

So I explained it and he was real happy..

Went in a blasted the writer. Didn’t do any good.
Never should have come in the shop.
And you wonder why I am the way I am.

 

I got nothin...

 

I recall a bubble under the skin that had to to be checked 48hrs later as the post deployment TB test. The other one was where they jabbed a needed covered with virus 18 times in the same area. After they have you watch a training video of all the dangers and how you're supposed to stay away from small children and elderly because you were contagious.

Good morning.

 

I forget the year models of ford pickups but it was the older 70s models I believe . You can can take the front clip from a crown vic ie pursuit engined vic or wrecked marauder and bolt it right in place add rear disks and done :} Just a thought , I am sure a little research will tell you which one.

Good morning all
Watching Leave it to Beaver

It's always something simple.
You should feel good because you educated the young man.
The place I take my truck the owner will scan for codes before the vehicle even comes in the shop.

 

I never want someone else to touch and check a vehicle over before I get it.
I've been burned to many times with button pushing.
Don't touch it, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars.
Stay away..

 

Your 110% right
I get burned like this alot at work and never learn. I will finish something my 1st shift counterpart starts only to redo what he did. Because it's my clock# that on the paperwork. After yesterday thats not going to happen anymore.

 

Morning all

I had a burning sensation in the 80s...probably not the same thing

Not taking the bait again

Nobody was wondering that Mike

I know, I’m sorry.

 

Good morning folks. Didn't mean to stir the pot. Just thought about how we're losing identity with history (though I've never heard of the historic "Battle of Elk Grove") and the ridiculous suggestion of using sticks and saying bang-bang.

 

I give.

 

Good. We need more "givers".
