They would gladly be payed in....................bird seed (pellets).
Romeo and Juliet are Green Cheek Conures. Romeo may not know how to work on my truck but, he supervises pretty good:



And in his spare time he works out:

Maybe his birds would pay him more attention if he didn't insist on paying them chickenfeed for what they do!

I think AJ has been watching too much "American Chopper"---using the claw hammer.

Please don't tell me you use adjustable wrenches...backwards to boot...as well?

Our attention span is about 34 seconds! So, threads routinely wind up talking about something other than what we started with. Jag

Attention what?

Actually it used to bother me a lot - we had more hijacked threads than we had normal ones.

Anyway, after much discussion and hurt feelings, we decided that the guy that started the thread got to call it - if he did not want it hijacked, he could police it and ask other members to stay on point. If he did not care, or already had his question answered, he could ignore what others posted.

The moderators and myself will not get involved!
If it bothers you just use the hijack sign, and ask the other posters to stay on track!

It doesn't really bother me to the extent of getting mad, I just thought it was rather strange that it got that far off topic. Other boards I'm on never let it go that far. I'll take it as lesson learned, no worries.

Don't worry about it Sean...I frequently feel less important than the droppings of a cockatoo!

Hey, I'll use a rock, boot, or stick if it makes it happen.

McGiver kind of thing I think.

Welcome Sean. My brother goes to Chico state and has a 97 F250 7.3L powerstoke. He's pretty good at wrenchin' on that thing and I'm sure he wouldn't mind giving you a hand when you need it. Unfortunately he doesn't frequent this forum, instead he spends his time on a ford diesel forum; more guys with trucks like his there. Welcome to the chapter buddy! Nice truck

-Chris
