My thought is, if you don't know how to spell something when you're posting, just look it up online -- you're already on the internet, just go to dictionary dot com or google it. Just a pet peeve of mine I guess.

Good tip, and I agree. I bagged and labeled some of the important bolts. I do remember that as I was taking it apart, I was being concious to the fact that I was going to have to put everything back together. I have a feeling that once I start putting things back together, most of it will drop right into place. I also have the habit of putting a bolt right back into the hole it came from when a part has been removed, so there's no question of where it goes.
I second that as the best way to do it!

Yeah, you could say that. Not sure when I'd fit in time to go out on a date right now though, with all the time I'm putting in on the truck. Once I'm done with it, I definately need to make some time for the social life. Oh, and if you happen to find a good farm girl, let me know...they're my favorite.

Nick, I feel bad for ya man. Not sure I could handle Mama Mia either. I don't really like movie theatres in general. I always get the seat in front of the person with itchy legs.

A few years ago, was on a date with this guy...I had people behind me kicking my seat. Suddenly a foot popped through the armrest hole and my date (big guy) grabbed it and yanked the guy out of his seat and onto the floor. Has to have been one of the best dates I've been on.

Hmm, that excuse..it sounds so familiar. Oh yeah, I used to use the time excuse when I was single too. I'll keep my eyes peeled. All my girlie friends here are taken and whatnot.

No excuses, Lisa. If you hung out with me for a week, you'd see what I mean. Almost every single evening after work, and both days on the weekend I've been working on the truck. It also wouldn't be fair for the girl for me to try and go out on a date right now, because I'd likely be thinking about what I could be working on with the truck while I was with her. I just want my truck back... Injectors are supposed to be here tomorrow though, so everything is getting closer to being finished.

Ok, I'll bite. If you're thinking about a truck while on a date with a nice girl, well, yeah, I'd admit that's pretty bad. lol.

The folks at Photobucket have added a photo editing feature to their site. I was playing around with it a little.

No one forced you to watch it.

Cris, glad you didn't have to put Troy on timeout.
