Evening guys. Spent the weekend having some fun with some friends, and went out today to have my truck's little tranny slip quirk return in brilliant fashion... this time it slipped 4 times shifting from 2nd to 3rd in the same attempt and jammed into gear extremely hard. A prompt call to the dealer when I got home leads me to bringing it in tomorrow morning.

Evening guys.
Matt - I hope your truck is a quick fix.
Pete - sounds like you had a typical Monday.
Alden - you need to stop rolling around in the woods!

i though it was dead! we had knocked the tree down in the winter and we were just cutting it into logs and splitting it.

Really looking forward to tomorrow, gonna try to start training for racing again since the crash, then after im gonna go replace the frame on my quad.

well..parts of it. I got a new belly pan and a few brackets, cause i was trying to penny pinch so i still have enough money for the first race. It was only $195 versus $1500 for a new frame

If in doubt.. assume poison ivy is alive. That crap is NASTY.

Ray: When we had our cutters go out it took a wear bar type thing with them. We need to order a new one but we need to cut it to length. It took us multiple hours to cut it with a demolition saw last time since the steel is so hard. Was wondering if I'd be able to take a whack at cutting it with your plasma cutter when we (eventually) get a new one?

Truck is in... my "car" for at least today is my grandmother's '99 Merc Sable. Getting a phone call later about what's up, if they don't call me by 4 I'm going to call and ask for a loaner car since I can't borrow the car for long.
