i hate stupid people. i got rear ended again this morning.
pouring rain, visibility is around 250 ft, and this jackass in a BMW coming down the turnpike at 80+mph when everyone else is doing 45 never saw me till he was right on top of me..
he locked up the brakes, tapped the back of my truck, then spun out into the guardrail backwords.
put my trailer hitch through his driver side headlight.
troopers gave him 3 tickets.
reckless driving, creating a traffic hazard, and speeding.

Drinkin doesn't do a whole lot for me anymore, doesn't mean I won't have a drink with a friend if it means a lot to them.

Well, yeah,
I mean, first with the car that hit his big truck, and almost killed the cop..and then his work truck gets stolen, now he gets rear-ended.
It's like a zombie movie, except instead of zombies they are all after Tom, trying to hit and/or steal his trucks.

Do the therapy just like they tell you too and just take it slow. I recommend an Ice Pack and they have them on e-bay, they are a God Send!! Again, do your therapy!!!

Never, not even once. In the year I have owned it, it has been flawless.
Like I said, in the super duty console, it snugs right in. I'll grab a pic later if I remember. Like I said, if I never had it, I'd think it was dumb. Now that I have it, I like it a lot.
My stereo in the truck is far better than the one in my shop, so I use that one more. The one in the shop tends to project into the neighbors yard and they dont like that. They are 88 and 90 years old, respectively...lol
Again, I've never had a dead battery. Super duty 7.3 has dual batts and they are big. They last forever. I have often worried about it, but she always fires right up. I remember killing the batts in my 5.0 all the time though..lol I also had a Alpine V12 amp and 2 Orion XTr's...lol It sucked power pretty bad.
Sorry buddy, I dont often have much time to post it seems. Between emails and baby crying to wife wanting time to....you get the idea. I read everything though and I'll get back to ya!!!
Good morning!!! lol
Fingers crossed!!, you guys are never far from my thoughts anyways.
Mojo sent brother!!!
I have not, but I hear they take a long, long time. Sorry but thats all I know.
now this makes me wonder how often you get up to having a dead battery in your truck... cuz a buddy of mine went to the mall while one of his friends stayed back in the car.. (of course running the stereo the whole time).. we came out a 1/2 hr later to the car being so dead it wouldnt even try to crank over...
Good morning!!! lol
Good Morning Everyone! Please, once again, keep your fingers crossed for me. Yesterday morning I filled out an application for a job at a company called Pavestone, and they called me yesterday afternoon for an interview today at 9 am. I will keep you all posted as to how it goes.
good morning all!!
good luck Jim!
how's everyone today? I'm feeling... LAZY. HA! I woke up at 4AM, took the dogs for their walk, and it was POURING rain. Joy. So, after 30 minutes of that crap, we returned home, pups got their treats, and I crawled back in bed. Just work up about 2 minutes ago. Now it's time to brush up on techie stuff - I have a phone screening today at 5PM. If y'all can spare a little extra mojo and send it my way it'd be much appreciated.. but keep pulling for Jim!!
