    I’m holding back from saying something stupid here.

    Logging off. Be smart, @Just_A_Guy, be smart.

    I wish! She thinks she's too old for that kind of stuff..

    Can relate in general, I'm a minimalist with phones. Part of it is mine is provided by my second job but even if not I would not spend a fortune to buy an iPhone. It just isn't something I would get the value from versus a Motorola or Samsung.
    I
    Definitely happens. Some artists are very picky about that even if it's a concert video..and one at least that I can name goes to great lengths

    You don't want to mill the head unless it requires it to make if flat and true within spec. Milling the head will also have the side effect of raising the compression ration ever so slightly unless you can get a slightly thicker head gasket to make up for the material removed from the head. Where milling the head becomes a bigger issue is on a V configuration engine. Depending upon the amount of material removed from the cylinders heads the shop may then have to mill the intake manifold and have a corresponding amount of material removed to ensure the intake seals properly.

    I would want them to inspect the head and check it for straightness before making any decisions.

    It wasn't the artist that time, but the manager/producer; I ended up removing the videos for nothing because JD backed out of the deal...

    Just for the record, I have two friends named Doug, and three if you count my longtime barber. The other two Dougs, to avoid using last names, are Doug who has Aspergers like me and Doug the former Marine. The Doug who used to be in the Corps has a beautiful wife, and she's agreed to pose with my truck!

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    I doubt your's is warped. It hasn't seen extended periods of high heat. The temp gauge on a toyota isn't a good indicator of temperature.

    She's sick right now, but it will be before the truck goes in for a new head gasket...

    We had a fan group on Facebook that turned out to contain one of the artist's employees, I forget the actual job title..ended up losing a lot of threads/videos to copyright claims.

    I remember we talked about Aspergers Doug for sure.

    I love Aspie Doug like a brother, but at the same time he is a royal pain in my ass.

    And I just remembered that I was going to show Doug the Barber my truck today but I forgot. He's not open on Sundays or Mondays, so I'll probably do that next Friday. I'm bringing Porter over to my friend and former boss's house to play with her dog, and she considered posing if she had a mask on that totally concealed her face, but she really isn't wild about being featured on social media. She will no doubt let me get pictures of her puppy with Porter in front of the truck, but getting either dog to sit still for the camera is another issue entirely.

    I'm also taking the truck to a local cars and coffee tomorrow morning and a Halloween-themed car show next Saturday, where I'm pretty sure people will want to pose with it, and then my cousin is likely coming on the 23rd and will pose with the truck if she does. My cousin has made several appearances in this thread, though the pictures are from like 2011-2012 (before I was even a TW member) and 2017, respectively.

    Always apply decals to aprons on 100% flat surfaces!
