My truck rides nice and smooth when the leaf springs are bent totally flat if not backwards.

My truck rides like a Lincoln with a ton and a half in it.

My starter is failing, but on a positive note, I got over 12 mpg going up to Wethersfield and back.

Sorry we missed you today Pete.
Glad you were working!

That's just what I loaded from the pile in the front yard and drove into the back yard to split and stack. All storm damage from Irene.
Nothing that really pays but also doesn't cost me anything.

anyone need a hood? $250 seems like a pretty good price for a clean hood...

Looks like the kilt was a good time today, sorry I missed it. I ended up working last night watching the icy Roads. That ended up changing my day.
