Thanks Bob, like I mentioned, just a little time. I'm not feeling a whole lot of pain today. She fixed me right up with another injection. Comfortably Numb...

I hope this computer chair counts as bed rest lol. A man can't lay down but so long. Hopefully I'll be out and about in a week and this will be in the past.

Be Good!

And my favorite Pink Floyd song, right after "Wish you were here". It's the meds. As long as I stay off of ebay and amazon and don't buy another Wii..... Long story, done it before.

Wish you were here is a song I like playing on the 12 string acoustic.
Nah, my thing happened several years back. It was almost Christmas, and the first year Wii came out, and sold out everywhere.
Well I bought one late one night "Hammered" and playing on Ebay. I don't remember what I bid it up to, but it was WAY more than they were new and on any shelf.
Go figure huh!

That "Hammer" got me in trouble now. But the kids did get the toy they wanted. And I think I paidit off on less than a year. Yeah, I paid a bit too much for it.

That's a fact. Any time we'd take Ka'Bluey out to play in the mud, I'd wash him a few day's later, and pretty goo too since I had a pressure washer in the garage.
When we did the cab swap the frame, top of the tranny, the frame, etc was still coated in what was now almost cement. So the pressure washer was fired up and more cleaning before we put the new cab on the chassis.

Bob,

Sounds like you have had some fun with the DMV.

I've been fighting with the CT DMV to get my title fixed for my car so I can register it down here. They had branded it exceeds mechanical limits. Dang thing has a 6 digit odo and I'm the second owner. Though finally got a new title in the mail yesterday. Only took 3 months.

I think I have a battery tender around here somewhere. Not really a charger since it takes about 2 days to charge up a dead battery. Two battery model.

Mine is just beginning. I have the Theft inspection Monday at 11am. I can hardly wait for this. He already mentioned I'd have to ad some kind of a bonded insurance coverage for 3 years. And eventually end up with a new VIN number...

Damn, that sucks. I'm guessing you can't show them you have the title to the cab?

Its a similar process if you found a vehicle, or can't find the owner. The bond gives the "real" owner time to come forward. Though the new VIN is weird but, I'm no expert.

Can you sell the truck before 3 years is up? I've seen restrictions where you can't.
