Amen Jim
I made money under Trump
Bidiot the opposite and all these illegals getting free stuff off our taxes pisses me off
I agree. I have no problem with those who come over and want to work, but the ones who come over for free handouts at taxpayer's expense **** me off too. And don't get me started on the criminals, terrorists and gang members coming over for the sole purpose of destroying this country. Many moons ago, my dad told me this country would be destroyed from within. Between the crooked politicians, and the criminals being let in from other countries, I would have to say he was right.
Anyway, that is all I am going to say about it. Don't want to get banned for being political.

Well, it only took 13 days of procrastinating, but I finally got the truck fixed. It now has two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. Did not replace the headlights yet, but I will get to those tomorrow. Had to pay rent today, and tried to get laundry done, but the laundromat was crowded. So was Walmart. Guess everyone got paid today.
I'm 12 days into my FIRST 14 day "cycle" of using Fluorouracil on my face to kill pre-cancerous cells. I'm not quite Freddy Kruger, but peoples' eyes at work just about pop out of their heads as they casually try not to stare. Essentially, your face skin cells need uracil to reproduce and the fluorouracil causes the fast reproducing cells to die off. Fun times. Can't drink either. First time in a loooong time I've gone 12 days without a Sierra.

I wonder what the mechanic next door would have charged you. Or even if they would have been able to correctly diagnose that little solenoid part. My head spins with the idea that they would have taken apart the hubs, replaced all sorts of parts, etc......
I think your tool kit paid for itself with this one little job.
The boneless turkey turned out good. My Uncle was wondering why we don't have turkey more often. Cost. When it's not Turkey Day, it's about $5 per pound. A 20 - 25 pound bird is over one hundred dollars. Nobody wants to spend over one hundred dollars on a turkey the rest of the year.
Jim, glad to hear that your truck is getting better. I’ve got Jr doing lighter work rather than paying the mechanic shop time since he’s talking about being a mechanic. I feel you on parts purchases, my pay cheque didn’t drop until Saturday evening so the replacement headlights for the Mrs. Super Duty went back to full price instead of 50% off.
@fat diesel, anything to keep the knives away from the body is good, BTDT and looking at it again. I now understand why my Dad sold his Cherry ‘67 Camaro when I turned 15. The family bought Jr a $700 ‘03 Jeep Gran Cherokee (300k+ miles) for his use.🤣😜
Why is everyone enamored with California Coors? Just my taste, since I dislike the taste of the majority of IPAs. Give me a good Porter or Stout any Day.
I'm not too picky with beer. Some beer, I like more than others. Only because it was what we had when I was a kid. In no particular order, since I like them all. We had Anchor Steam. It was made locally. They went bankrupt A few years ago. There's rumor of a resurrection. A lot of bars had Pabst Blue Ribbon back then. Why? I don't know. All the Chinese restaurants had Tsing Tao. Why? I don't know. All the Irish bars had Guinness. I still like Guinness, and Old Bushmill's. Italian restaurants and bars all served Stella Artois. Which I never understood, because it's a beer from Belgium. I drink Japanese beer when I go out for sushi. A couple of decades ago, there were a lot of microbreweries. I didn't get into any of those trendy, small batch beers.
Overall, I'm not too picky. Whatever beer is available, I'll drink it. Even if it's Bud Lite.
Jim I gave you a truck before and if you ever need something Ill help if we can
Thanks for the offer, but I am fine. Rent is paid, truck is working, just need to replace a headlight, but most likely will replace both at the same time. I found out the Stanley tool set is missing the 1/4-inch drive ratchet. I must have used it at some time in the past and forgot to put it back. I'll check Amazon to see if I can replace it. I don't know if they sell black ones individually. May have to settle for a regular one. Anyway, the repair was easy. Didn't even have to disconnect the battery. I thought I might have to seeing how close it was to the solenoid. I have not worked on any of my vehicles in a long time and was apprehensive about doing the work., which was why I kept putting it off.

He would have charged a minimum of $100. After reading about the issue on the forums there was no way I wanted to take it to him when it was something I could do myself. Today's prices are too high for me. One of the men in the Bible study tonight relayed a story about his car breaking down out of town. He had it towed to a local shop and got a quote for $1,900. He called his mechanic and they went up there and fixed it for $700. The problem? Bad alternator. I was like $1,900 to replace an alternator? OMG. Even $700 sounds ridiculous to this old mechanic. Then again, I don't know the make or model of his car, but still.
