Sucks having to worry about thieves. Surprisingly, because there's a lot of teens around here, there isn't any theft.

BTW- My travel trailer is finished finally. It's sitting down in Delaware Ohio, - have to pick that up soon. But, I kind of lost interest in it lol. Trying to re - kindle it.

Yeah... my old neighborhood was getting rough. Crime was going through the roof. A teen was shot and killed in a drive-by about 6 houses down from me.

It was time to bail.

I drove past there on Saturday.... I was the last person to water the lawn, and mow it. It's going to get trashed. Guaranteed.

Nice on your trailer!

Well I'm glad you got out of there. So the new owners haven't done much to the lawn ? There's people living there now right ?

Yes, they moved in the day after I left. I watered and mowed it right up until I moved out. Oh well.... I got my money, lol.

I was going to ask you Brew, which Denso Iridium's are you using? I just put the Denso Iridium Power's in my Toyota. I was really surprised to find NGK's in it because damn near everything under that hood says Denso on it.... which is why I went with Denso. Even though I've only had the car for a week, I can already tell it starts faster and runs a little better.

Why all the exhaust build up on the threads? Kind of weird isn't it, that far up the shaft?

Jeezz, I can't remember, that was back in 07/08. They are still going strong and are the iridium's. However, I pulled a few and checked them back in 2013 and they were black lol. Wait, I know what I did, pulled the rest and cleaned them up. Then adjusted the gap. I need to change them now or soon, finally got 60,000 on them. I think they are the 16's though. I'm going back to Motorcraft in the truck.

Well today lil Red finally got a chance to prove to me that he is a good boat puller. I put my 4500# boat and trailer behind him and took him 60 miles to a buddies to sit for the winter. I'm tired of paying to store things, when I can put it there and have full use of it anytime. It is closer to the lakes and stuff anyways. This way, my buddy can use it too next year, and it doesn't go to rot. LOL

This is without the 2 inch blocks in the rear. I'm considering putting them back in, but I'm on the fence about that. Maybe just a helper leaf to raise it an inch or so. Decisions, decisions. Thoughts guys?

Imho- put them back in- it looks like a dog trying to tuck tail! Id rather see a little rake in a truck w/o a load rather than it stoop when you put a load on.- but thats me!- nice looking boat btw!
