this still leaves me the full 4 foot of floor space between the wheel wells.
Pretty slick idea Tom thanks. I am going to so some and when I do I am going to put a double throw switch into the factory line for the horn so that I can use the steering wheel button for either the air horn or the stock horn.

Well apparently I was wrong! I got to play in a shiny T320 not a T300 like I was expecting. 340 hours or so on it now after I put 6 hours on it tonight.

I put almost as many hours in after school today as most people do in a full day.

Mowed a little over 2 miles of roadside. 1 mile of road both sides.

We got permission from the town tree person whatever his title is. So the cops kept driving right past us with the spotlights where we'd mowed and I'm sure the plates on my truck got run at least 3 or 4 times but they never stopped to bother us so I guess we're ok. I know they were there because of us since it's dead-end road with nothing on it.

That road is probably a good 15 feet wider without all the crap that was growing over the edges. I'll try to get some pictures of it tomorrow if I've got the time when it's light out.

i have mine hooked up to a carling switch in the F650 lower dash panel. the wire from the carling goes to a relay. one side for electric horn, one side for air.
if the carling is off, the electric horn side of the relay is activated. when you power the carling, it switches the relay to air horn.

You know, you could have fun with this.. Since you dont have anything real that you recall, write about the time you stole a set of hubcaps, and the police went as far as having the dog out after you, but thankfully there was a creek you were able to run down for a 1/4 mile. It sucked that it was so late in the fall, you had the shakes for hours after you got home. Yuu werent sure if it was because you were cold, or the rush you got from the whole experience..

Wrap it up with a.. " your turn" or.. "Gotcha"

Write about a time you were scared.. your in school, not seeing some theorpist..what the hell buisness is it of theirs..

Ray, I dont know what they expect from medicare, but as soon as I receive my SS benefits ( they seem to think I will get one large check to catch up) if that happens I will send them a check right away before I am tempted to spend it...

rough nite sleeping last nite, couldnt seem to get comfortable, then woke up at 6:30 this morning.

I need to get some things done today...start a bank account, wash the truck, unpack clothes and find the dog park ( they just opened one here this summer! )
