95 % sure the slave cylinder started leaking on the ranger, was going to drive it today and tomorrow. pull out of the driveway..hmm thats weird the clutch pedal feels a little funny, shift from 1st to 2nd and had to fight it a little bit then the pedal got spongy...yep turning right back around and swapping trucks. Guess i know what im having done this winter

been quite the week.

Late last week the brake booster went out on the edge so i had to get that replaced, water softener wasn't working right so i had to have that serviced, and yesterday had our boiler serviced, the guy called me and said we need to get our chimney inspected as part of the clay liner was laying at the bottom of the chimney, so im going to have a liner put in

Why not listen to the guy vs going against him. I'd definitely have it looked at first as that may not be what he thinks.

Know it all kids....

We did ours in SS. Easier annual soot burn off. More diameter. Ask feasibility & cost.

Normally, a really good spell-check in this 31... the 96 is SOS,) but glad you enjoyed the humor... It's all true, though. And 66w recharge in an hour. Ford 4x4 tuf sorta fits these phones naturally. The 150 & the ph actually both protect me. Material is the thing for a writer. Ford tuf & muh dawg here... this almost wrote itself. No joke about reading in bed w the short wrist lanyard. Ouch ! Not on the 31. Too bad. Good in a fight. I can, but don't generally, travel light. I need stuff that will stand up to what I might put myself through. Should shake the cobwebs outta my Tarzan mode. Loin cloth could stand to be let out an inch or so though.

​​​​These are unlocked for "any" service, except I think, not AT&T (which ripped me off,) & not Version, which is good but costly. I use GhettRo, now almost synonymous w T-Mobile. (Really dug Zorro's chick as the spokesperson.) Multi-country too. I liked Samsung, but it's like hunting w a nerf-gun. You watch out, for IT. This watches out for me.

Raccoon in the dark? HIGH Res FLIR. What car has 2 football-player sized revelers in a PRIUS outside? FLIR. Nice guys. Apologetic. But at 1:35AM? "Just some Halloween fun." "Halloween was yesterday." They left. Apparently seeing my FLIR pic of them, they assumed I was a cop or just serious. They did NOT see me coming in the dark. LOL ! This happened 5 hrs ago. (Glad I quit tighty whities & camo routines. So are they, I bet. You may be nude in the city/county of San Francisco, but I'm a cpl miles outside. And it was cold. Shrinkage factor, ya know.)
