    Text just came through - Fargo Public Schools cancelled student activities for tomorrow.

    If work cancels, I'll get 8 hours of vacation time back. :laugh:

    Hello TW friends.
    30 years old, 2 kids and a loving wife who lets me spend entirely too many hours at the workshop.

    Currently working on my daily driver that I inherited from my brother who died about 8 years ago.
    2006 Tacoma 4WD

    Driven from South Carolina to St Pete Florida and all the way to Hill AFB Utah and now back to Charleston SC. :D

    Got a decent size workshop with an LLC started but still learning.
    Saying that I am grateful for this forum is an understatement.

    Current project, all around suspension that is long over due.
    Thankful to @HeadStrong Off-Road for helping me find a solid solution for my needs.

    Mrs Green is on the road today to visit her mother for a week.

    I'm left with four cats to keep me company --
    -- plus a fridge full of holiday leftovers --
    -- and her electric heated throw blanket...



    ... what should I do ... :confused::confused::confused:

    This is what one of the last take-your-own-part-off salvage yards I used to go to back in the day looks like now:

    Good morning everyone :hattip:

    After a couple of days of seeing people I haven’t seen in three or more years, I woke up with a cough and upper respiratory gunk…. The benefits of family!

    Also, the bulb I replaced a month or so ago has burned out again… Gonna clean up the connector and instead of dielectric grease, give it a hit of DeoxIT. Never heard of it but someone in the 2nd Gen forum recommended… willing to try new stuff if it works..
