"Hi Jack" is one thing that you don't want to say on an airplane.

On my next flight, while boarding I will be sure to answer the phone with that line.

I'll even do that procedure myself!

I tell you what, with the last two days we have had here, in the 60's, I'm really getting sick. Might have to call in sick and go see Doctor Nature for a few days, for some health concerns. Concern one: It's too nice outside to be stuck in an office.

Maybe this will get you feeling better Josh.
This IS from our local news, channel 9 out of Kansas City.
My truck is covered with ice, and Tim tried to get to work with his car, and it's at the bottom of the hill.

We had Thunder Sleet, and Thunder Snow both.
On that map, where it show's Kansas City, we're about 3/4's of the way to Marshall.

It looks like I get to take the tool box out of the truck, again. We're going through the firewood pretty quick, and I'll need to get another truck load here soon.

Mornen fellers!
Looks like I'm finally gonna get busy working on Ka'Bluey. We're getting a little chunk back from our taxes (delay due to the government shutdown) and I'm gonna get that new air compressor wired up and fired up.
I have tires lined up already, what's on Ka'Bluey now will never pass state inspection, and I do want him road worthy.
Weather has finally let up a bit, we're already at 32 degrees and may see 50 later in the week, but it supposed to turn back cold and wet by the weekend.

Y'all behave!

Glad to hear things are warming up for you Bob.

Had an interesteing weekend. Marty came out to Broadway on Saturday to help with the camper. Found one propane tank empty, one tank pigtail leaked like crazy, but were able to get the rest of the system working, like the furnace, fridge, and stove\oven. So all that's good. While on the way out, I had forgotten to fill up the F150, so with the DTE showing 6 miles, I finally found a gas station. However, the door wiring connector broke again, it's misfiring like crazy, and threw the check engine light and the change oil now light. So looks like I need to spend an evening in the shop, looking at the dang thing. I've ordered a new harness, some plug boots (usual culprit and at 5$ worth the guess at this point). But I'm really thinking that I ran the tank down and sucked something not to good for the filter up. Gotta see if the truck has an inline, or just the in tank filter. Then if all goes well, should be camping on Saturday.

Fingers crossed.

You're having about the same luck that we did with the "Titanic" and I hope it goes better for you than it did us.
I'm pretty sure you won't find an in line fuel filter under that truck. Those seem to have disappeared, guess too many of us could service our own filters.
If this is on your 2011, I don't think so, if it's on your 1 ton, yes, drivers side frame rail.

I think there is a in line fuel filter in the frame rail, driver's side, near the transmission cross member.

That is definately true on the 89, not sure though on the 11 that is having issues. Boy I sure do miss Lucille right about now.
