I took a picture of the picture sure enough! Not the best quality...


Definitely sucks to be sick! Glad to see you back on your feet!
Now Tristan, you know it would take us at least a case of beer for that picture to become unfuzzzy, but on a side note she'd be friggin Ms. America by then. Beer Goggles...... Nuff said.

Good afternoon everyone!

Just got back from running some errands, had the guy at the P.O. drooling over my truck! He asked me why someone my size needed a truck that big and if I needed a ladder to get in it. LOL!

Oh Brandon, I don't have TMJ. Just a stupid random, never ending headache.

Hey, everyone. I'm here now, but pretty soon I'll be off to get a date to take my on-road test for my license. FINALLY. What a PITA this whole process has been.

And now I have a bird hanging around here that I have to kill. It sits on top of my mirrors and pecks at the mirror glass and scratches it. The thing must see its reflection and want to peck at it. Either way it's going down...

I had one that attacked my window in the EARLY morning. He saw his reflection and would ram the window while I was still asleep. Two hours of that and I sat out in my truck waiting with an old BB gun. Needless to say he doesnt bother me anymore...

Be careful...you might shoot yer eye out!



Not to get off topic but....dinner here is kicking *** tonight.

Slow smoked (and then slathered with barbecue sauce) whole chickens, real scalloped potatoes and corn on the cob.

Threw it on the pit before I went to work this morning and had Cody tending fiire and temps.

It's falling off the bone good. I'd take pics but it is disappearing too quickly....

Comon you guys. I have replaced both before. I mean I realize I am not a master mechanic or anything..but you guys like to analyze everything I say. So I'll start over.

The ICP is a sensor, like the CPS, has an o ring on it. From what I recall, the ICP pushed in, and then screwed in. You could feel the o-ring seat just like you can with a CPS. The CPS, however, does not screw in itself, but instead uses a clamp to put force on the sensor to keep it seated. The clamp screws in.

Better?

Aren't you tired of people asking you that? If I have one more person ask me why a little girl like me needs such a big truck, I think I might curb check them.

I think you should install an owl on both mirrors.

So I dropped off all the crap I need and they're gonna call me when they know when my test will be.

After that I got dragged to Big Y. While in the parking lot I saw 2 pretty retarded looking trucks.

1: 200? F150 2x4 with a huge body lift on it. It looked retarded. It had stock tires and no suspension lift, but there was enough room between the body and the frame that I could stick my hand through if I wanted to.

2: A beat up old little Toyota. It was squatting so hard that the tires probably rubbed the wheel wells whenever the guy went over a bump of any kind. The rear bumper was rusting off and the roof was all rusted. Then there were 2 little what appeared to be cut off bungee cords hanging from either side of the back of the truck dragging on the ground. All I can think of is that he's got them there to ground the truck out in case he gets hit by lightning?

Then on the way home there was a ghetto-tastical Chebby in some guy's driveway.

It had chameleon paint and 22" rims with the itty bitty rubber that is maybe 1" high off the rim. You've got to wonder how they'd know if they had a flat tire.

It should be a crime to do that to a truck. Even if it is a Chebby...
