That sucks you left your lights on. Hopefully your roommate can get you jumped! Just remember if you have to call a tow truck for a jumpstart don't call and say "can you come and jump me"! LOL

They would probably enjoy "jumping people" a whole lot more than what they're supposed to be doing.

I got my truck back on Saturday. Dave & Mike finally have the truck from hell out of thier shop. I bet the shop looks alot bigger now.
But man that thing runs good now. I do not know what really did it (IPRvalave or HPOP), but it starts way way way better and there is no injector stiction now and I have heat, alot of heat.

Thanks Dave & Mike

Now they get to work on the Focus. Should be alot easier I hope.

Lots of vehicle hoists on k-bid.com auctions, ending Wed, in Oak Park Heights. I'm going to get one someday, when the time is right.

Afternoon fellas.

Desiree is off but Mason was only two hours late. Ten mile difference.....I don't get it. Maybe she will shovel the drifts in the driveway today.....or more likely I will plow when I get home.

They'll probably hit about a grand to $1250 each.

To me, there is tremendous value in cash and carry> I don't want to spend a lot of time disassembling it and loading it myself. These maybe be down already as they charge a loading fee.

If I had higher ceilings, I would sell a kidney, or a firstborn...
