Apparently finding an entry level IT job around here is more difficult than one would think unless you're laced with gold and have a government security clearance. Lol. Trying to stay away from the shiet jobs as much as possible, might have to cave for a retail job though for the time being. Hasn't been much I've wanted to spend money on lately luckily, so I haven't really needed money although it's always nice to have.
Truck still needs the whole front suspension rebuilt, all the parts are just sitting waiting lmao. When I have a chance to do it the weather doesn't cooperate, and then the weathers nice when I'm doing other things, go figure. It'll get done as soon as it warms up enough here.
Newfies gonna Newf


Hahaha. Got caught up with life and hadn't thought of checking in or it slipped my mind when I did have time to. Just been doing shiz all around the house and applying for jobs and getting signed up for stuff to get more IT certifications.

Couple familiar faces in here...
GO SOX!

So my neighbor just lost his '99 to a woman hitting him head on. The impact wasn't powerful enough to do any frame damage. From what I was seeing it wrinkled the hood and obviously destroyed the bumper/valance/grill area. Insurance totaled it due to the fact that the damage repair would cost more than what these trucks are worth these days. It got me thinking though. I'm a pretty alert driver anyways but even more so knowing the repair cost out weighs the truck cost.
I already leave my hitch in for added protection in the rear. This actually helped me out with my '03 when I owned it. I'm torn on putting a bull bar on the front strictly for the protection. The same impact he took would have been minimal if he had one. Hmmm...

You better wear shin guards...I have scars that are painful to look at. Anyway, you'll know when you walk into one...and you thought you couldn't dance lol.

Yeah, I've noticed the difference in some of the manufacturers. I'm willing to pay the money to help save a potential costly repair.
