Concrete crew started work today on the heated doghouse, ie my new garage. HOA is silent on this, I LOVE living in the country!




Here's a Ford truck just to keep it forum appropriate.

No cleaning of driveways needed! Like I said, it's Waco! Shootouts with bikers, oil covered driveways, pissing off HOAs, Heisman Trophy winners; a little slice of heaven.

It just opened late last year and I had yet to go. Apparently Baylor students are not allowed to work there so I heard the staff was a bit below what you would expect or desire. I also hear that due to this incident they are losing the store owner is losing their franchise so I guess that's that. The whole area is still shut down and still surrounded by cops. It's only about 3 miles from my house, I drove past it a little bit ago.

Those concrete guys put in a 12 hour day and got the pad filled and the footers poured. I'm tired and all I did was watch now and then.

Way too high, your regulator is bad.

Called the alternator guys, they said they replaced the regulator.
It's bad and needs replaced again.

Just bought the front and rear springs of an 04 F250 for $250. The guy is going to help me create four frankenpacks. Who knows how much lift I'll get? Aiming for 3" over what I have now. I'm not worried about ride stiffness, I'm young and can handle it. I am definitely excited.

Update of what is on the way for the Ex:

08+ mirrors
Muffler delete
Cat delete
Trans filter for trans flush
Front and rear superduty springs

Planned:

Snowplow (working on a mount with my uncle for one of his old plows)
Cab lights
LED bar for front
Rear aux backup lighting
Brush guard
Waterproofing the diffs and trans (extending the breather lines)

Cheers,

Nate

I set up the new gears and bearings in the rear end of the Comet today after work. Cover is sealed and bolted on. Will slip the axles in tomorrow, filler up with fluid and go for a hopefully noise free ride!
