Wife and I are pretty annoyed that as of yesterday we still don't have a complete appraisal on the new house... supposed to close tomorrow but still haven't heard if it's a go. I really wanted this deal on this year's taxes too.
Ok, I'm off to see my therapist now, thanks to Pat!!!

Well, I was doing well until Pat started using four letter words...

That's OK, I've just buried those unpleasant memories further down... they'll simmer there for a few more years, no problem... repression is a wonderful thing after all.... I'm sure that my ulcer will be able to handle it.... find a happy place, find a happy place, find a happy place....

The truck is awesome... still can't believe it's mine. Got the new dimmer switch installed, and also put some better battery cables on it last night.
I love driving it, but with all the melting slop around here I keep getting it dirty. I think I've spent as much at the car wash as I have on gas.

I really like the front bumper with the integrated fog lamps that's in the LMC catalog.
I did discover that I have a passenger lighted vanity mirror, but it's missing the flip-up cover. That will be hard to come by, but I definitely want that cover.

I think I'd like to add chrome trim over the wheel wells... I can't decide if I want the FORD lettering on the hood or not, I'm thinking since that is what should be there for a 79, I should probably put in on.

You could look at different lettering, from a different year for the hood, just to make it a little different. I think it would look good with the wheel well trim. maybe even drip rail trim.
