I hope so Darin! The UPS man just dropped off the PCM, pins look great. Picture isn't the greatest Jonathan should have gotten my chip yesterday, I hope to get it back next week.

Thanks Mike!

The mare is lookin really good like she is all ready to go. So now that you have the pcm back do you have to wait to run her until you get the chip back, or do you have another chip you can use to test the pcm? All this waiting now must be making you

I can run it without the chip, I'm going to so I can find my oil leak. I could pull the TW chip out of the mule again but I'm not going to bother. There is one thing about waiting, I work on other stuff to get ready, LOL. The oil leak will probably have to wait a day or so, pulled my back out last night, ouch! It happens a few times a year whether I like it or not,

Thanks Sam, its the kind of truck that looks great from a distance. Once you get up close, you can see the imperfections of being sixteen years old!

I here ya on the back, mine dose that about a couple times a year too, and if I start thinking about how long it's been that's when it hits me. I was a little sore after unloading a couple of yards of dirt the other day but maybe I got lucky
Good luck with the recovery, you really don't need that kind of problem now.

You ever hear of a 'hang-up' inverter? I bought it at a garage sale and you lay on it with your angles in a clamping device. Then you rotate it to where you are hanging upside down by your angles. The first few times I did it, I hated it because all the blood rushes to your head. But I got used to it and its great for back aches. I only hang upside down for a minute at most but it stretches out your spine. My chiropractor uses one every day.

That sounds interesting, I would think you would need someone to turn it for you that you trust my wife would probably just leave me hanging there

Getting back up you grab the handles and bend your knees. This moves the center of gravity forward so when you force your legs down you come right up. Sorta hard to explain.

OK so I got it now, that thing might work, and it would fold up so it wouldn't take up much space. Oh ya then you would be all set to go for a ride in that pink kayak, those things just kill my back, I can't go far in one because I can hardly stand the pain, but they are fun the dog likes to go too.

It folds up but not small enough for the camper. I would like to take it but can't. I stuff a life jacket in behind me, helps the back if I go with her kayaking. She took the dog last week and her googles sank

I got my center cap off because I'm suppose to get my PCM back today that has been retinned.





I noticed something in the last pic that is just too cool! There are two OBS Fords in the back ground on the street! One coming at you, and one going away from you!
