For Stock Rigs Only

Headed over to my sisters for the family gathering. I gave my nephews cash in a custom engraved envelope, wrapped in another envelope, wrapped in a box, wrapped in a box, wrapped in another box.

 

Trolling with gifts is great.

 

Afternoon folks. Hope today finds you happy and well. I'm enjoying a quiet, peaceful day with my family. Couldn't ask for more.

For those who find today a tough one for a variety of reasons....hang in there.

 

Sounds like they're offering a $500 discount on the next hernia repair... Probably on the advice of the Lowe's appliance delivery installers.

 

Morning stockers hopefully everyone had a great Christmas to much food that my docs don’t like me eating

 

Morning Mike

 

Mornin’ Stockers
Can relate. Bein’ Celiac this time of year makes me more nervous than a long tailed cat in a rocking chair store.

 

Merry Christmas everybody. Hope the time is going well. Never got on the laptop during my two days at home. Here the temps are middlin and it's dreary and drizzly. This means the dogs are making a mess of the new floors. We've had a houseful. Kitchen is in full swing constantly. House smells amazing. Most interaction among the inhabitants has been positive. Generally, good stuff, realizing I'm blessed.

Back at the office today. Tacoma bed is full of trash that wont fit in the rollout barrel at home. First world problems.

 

Good afternoon, stocker friends.

I hope that everyone had/is having a nice holiday season.

Last week I saw a classified ad for some 2nd gen parts, I finally sprang for some of those OE rubber inserts for the front "tray" at the front of the console. I wish I had just bought the darn things when I 1st got the truck 3.5 years ago... what a difference in not having to wedge the Yeti coffee cup against the cell phone to keep it upright. I can now enjoy my hot beverage like a civilized man!

 

wait...did the rapture occur? Where the hell is everybody?

 

Good Morning Stock Truck Faithful Friends
Hope all had a nice Christmas.
My main Christmas activities are putting up lights outside and buying a piece of jewelry for Kristi. Kristi and my DIL liked the lights, and Kristi loved the piece I picked out. And she found the Winter work gloves I like on Amazon, she said the delivery looked sketchy for a bit, but the four pairs showed up (hadn't been able to locate them locally after I bought the first pair) ... which makes me good on gloves for a couple Winters I reckon.
Overall a win.

Things are quiet and peaceful out on the mountain now, life is good.
Hope all are healthy and happy.

 

Yup, just got the Statement this Mornin’.

 

Howdy do, gang!

I changed the engine drive belt on the 2.7 (under)powered Taco. I spent more time pondering ' why the bloody hell did the engine-nerds only have 2" of belt contact on the water pump pulley' then it took to actually change the belt. Oh, by the way- I used a Gates belt! I know, I know... I will go get in line at the elevator that goes to Dante's 4th level of suffering.

 

I spent two days traveling, and a day recouping. Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays

 

Only time Shag carpet works. Toes just scream for it once you’re home. Sometimes dirt works just fine too.

 

I didn't make the cut either.

 

Did New England get snowed in?

 

Morning stockers washed and gassed her up yesterday

 

Depends on what New England you mean….
Near the coast…


Or in the White Mountains area (Appalachians)


That’s about an hour and a half drive from one to the other.
