Ha! That figures...I'm all screwed up this month.

Is it April yet?

I notice Dave's signature has changed...do you no longer have the F350?

It was mid 20's and no not running wide open maybe short bursts of 50mph but otherwise cruising around 30mph. Fan belt is loose when I looked at it but it was still tight enough to turn fan. Carbs were cleaned last year. I'm afraid to do compression test but I know it inevitable. I may putz around on it this weekend.

Good morning guys! Its Friday!!

I see Dave's sig changed to having a convertible. Probably easier for him to roll in with the top down being so fat and all.

Good morning everyone!

Yes, I no longer have the truck. Because what I am doing at my job is changing into some extra things I wasn't going to keep running my personal truck. I was pushing 50-60k per year in miles. To many for what I can recap. So went to a work supplied truck and got a fun car instead.

On a hilarious note, the VIN starts, 1FAT!!!

Nice! I had a couple of Mustangs that I really enjoyed...I sometimes miss my '11, but then I think of how much fun it was to put a car seat into it.



It cracks me up because I think you're about as bad as I am with cars...I still remember this one:

Yeah, I am worse I bet.

I almost kept it anyways, but it's to damn expensive just to have because I liked it.

Thanks guys. I was going for the blue one, but they made me a deal on this one since it was a dealer demo and had 2,000 miles on it. $15k off which was 5-7k better than I could find anywhere and this has a few extras. So silver it is.
