The Lair

Ugh. After many years of not happening, my mysterious blowing fuse (IGN No 2) has returned. Right as I was considering putting some money into the truck to extend its longevity given the price of new/used vehicles right now...I wish it would just start on fire or someone would hit me and put it out of its misery at this point...

 

Damn. That truck ain’t been right since the accident. You can’t catch a break.

 

When are you coming out here to fix the morale of this crew, first mate?

 

I refreshed my spare fluids container with all new stuff since my old one had gear oil over everything. I’ll most likely box the tote in with plywood so that way I can easily stack stuff on top/next to it behind the seat (coats and such).

 

There is room for about 30 twizzlers in there, Randall. You are underutilizing your space.

 

I store all of those under the hood so they get nice and warm and soft.

 

We made an executive decision that some morales are not worth fixing. Budget cuts 2022. I hope you understand. In the mean time I have ordered 3 large pizzas from little ceasers for you & the crew to hold you over. Happy sailing

 

Tony still fits back there?

 

Definitely not, but Tony just stays home now. The truck is really only good for just me now.

 

How does he feel about his new brother?

 

He’s fairly impartial unless George is all up in his business, so we’ve been working on gentle hands and waving at doggy instead of getting near him. So they’ve gotten better about coexisting as George gets older.

 

Tony is probably like "I was never consulted about any of this business!"

 

Alright good that it's not just me that has random leaky gear oil bottles lol. I swear they just sit in a tote in my closet and somehow leak out into the bottom of the tote

 

Well to be fair this one was half full and then was yeeted around the tote in my bed. My new fluids container has all new unopened fluids (except coolant) and everything fits fairly snug in there so minimal yeeting.

 

I installed the new starter cable this evening and cleaned up my terminal wiring while I was in there. Very pleased with the finished product and the truck fires up nice and quick now. I have a 2’ cable on order to replace the one running from battery to winch disconnect. It’s just an eyesore so I’ll tuck the new wire out of sight.

 

I wish I could blame it on the accident...it started doing it long before I hit the deer.

 

@EatSleepTacos

your suggestion on the hoonigan channel has been a good one. I am hooked on the hoonicorn vs the world series & the This vs Plaid

 

I absolutely love those series, same with this vs that. Any of their drag racing ones. The most recent this vs plaid with the pickup truck was absolutely insane. I want to see it race the hoonicorn.

 

Don't worry, I didn't weenie out on the pink. Got drafted to fix 3 toilets toilets instead

 

The 1,500hp Silverado owned by my homie Beto?

That thing is a MONSTER
