The headache rack looks good.
Wife gets her wisdom teeth pulled on Thursday. Going to be an interesting weekend taking care of her. She is getting some easy stuff for me to make for me and wee man.
After the getting rid of the leaves my back was killing me.
The guys at work said if I keep replacing stuff on this truck I am going to have to get a paint job.

New grille installed on the truck.

Stitches are out!! Still have to be careful for the next week or two not to rip it open. It looks much better now that they took them out.
New grille emblem and the instrument surround came in for the dodge but I have not had a chance to put them on. I think the last thing I am going to get for now is get a new cup holder.
The wife says she thinks a mouse or something is in the heater fan of the Hummer so taking it to work to drop it down and find out what going on.
Wife gets her wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow so nothing going on but taking care of her and little man over the weekend.
Pulled the check engine codes on the hummer and I have a bad 02 sensor, I got one on order.

No mouse in the blower motor, some leaves and a piece of rubber that I have no idea where it goes too. Easy fix!!

Seems like I never think to look in this topic to see what's going on....

ChiefM, we should meet one day for coffee or something. I drive thru Cave Springs almost every Tuesday, on the way to Gadsden, AL to visit with my Dad and take him to lunch. He's 95 now, so I try to visit him every week.

Had to replace starter on truck a few weeks ago, and damn if it wouldn't crank when I came out of Gold's gym this morning. I called AAA to tow it to house, but had one of the guys come try to jump it off, even though I was convinced it wasn't the batteries. They had tested batteries before I bought the new starter. So it cranks up.... I drive across the road to Advance Auto.... and yea, I have a bad battery. Warranty covered one battery, so I had to buy the other battery.

Had to laugh.... as I was thinking as its close to turning over 490,000.... man this truck runs good.... then this happens the next day. LOL

I still work but you can run by Ag-Pro in Rome it would be great to meet you.
Wife gets her teeth pulled later today so I am taking the afternoon off and all day tomorrow to take care of her. She made dinners for 2 days last night to take care of me and little man in case she can't cook. I told her I can cook and manage that all she will just need to do is just rest.

My grandparents on dad side were from Abbyville. Mom side was Mcullars from Pineview.

The brush guard is on pic later. it was direct bolt on except for air damn. Stupid "add stuff to the truck bug" now it saying window tint , fender flares and maybe a winch. The bed liner will be here tomorrow. If Fedex get here in time will install before a function at church.
Fell into another good deal. 4 11R22.5 and wheels for 400. Tires are 8/32. They are in Sugar Hill. DRiving up early Saturday to pick them up since canton is not too far will drop them of where the truck is at. Chief may swing by your place. I have to pick the camper up from dealer in Macon and Donna has her family Christmas party at 5. hope to be in Sugar hill by 0700.

Been trying to learn a bit about Torque Pro ap and how it apples to this old truck. Sometimes I think I'm to old to learn all this new stuff...

Trying to decide if I want to buy some used chrome step bar runners for the truck. Ford got over $500, and this guy wants $100, but I have to pull them off. Wife says,,, that's your Christmas..... geezzz

I got the instrument surround put on the dodge yesterday. I got it cheap on amazon and it's OK and it works. At 1/4th of the price that they want at LMC, I'm not complaining. My daughter even complimented me last night on how nice the truck is coming along.
