    Take a stand! Go after their asses!


    Had to quit early because a hydraulic line came loose on the excavator. On the way back to the asphalt I sidewalled a trailer tire. So being the considerate guy I am, I knew there was one shade tree to park next to so the tire tech would be a little more comfortable. Get to the tree, park the truck, call the tire shop then grab my lunch box. Sitting on the trailer bed I start looking over the tree that I've passed hundreds of times by now.

    Never noticed the bee's nest before. I told the tech, he was good with it.

    I saw that so was the cold air intake versus stock air filter - the only thing that made sense was the fact that if you do not re-tune then sure the cost of the cold air intake is moot - no efficiency gained but would anyone accept that - NOPE - as far as a lot were concerned it was only a noise maker. Go figure!!!! I didn't want to even go down the added benefit if you add a cat-back muffler system and re-tune everything at one time.

    Yeah, the stuff we could do when we were young. Hot ass summer construction jobs, making snow at at ski resort when it’s so cold out the snow guns freeze up. I know why I’m a grumpy old man.

    This Detailer spray is awesome , water just slides off any surface you spray this on and leaves a deep glossy shine
