That road is FM 1097, which is also that bridge going over the lake. Last weekend when I mentioned running the jet ski up to 60mph but having to shut it down because of the bridge coming up...that's the bridge. I was coming from the north side (bottom edge of the pic) towards the bridge.

no all i have to do is fix all the broken down stuff, and i can get the chip put in.
i have a focus in the driveway at the garage door with a broken axle, and the wiper motor died on my crown vic at 4 am this morning.
Are you waiting to install the DP until after you fix stuff because you need motivation to fix stuff?

I gotta send my DP back I think. No "no start".

Lisa, what does the no start do on the tuner? Is that like a security thing?

I hear ya Tom. I thought I was getting things caught up too, looked under my truck today, and I have either a brake line leak (brake fluid hasnt gone down though) or a leaking shock (Ive never seen a leaking shock before, do they actually leak?) So ill have to get that fixed up.

Gotta give er a good going through, new set of tires, check the brakes and the front end before my trip this summer too.

Yep. Exactly. Feature where you can remove the switch and the truck won't start.

no, i am waiting because i am running shot rock out of a quarry in Pennsylvania, and hit the road at 4AM, drive 600 miles a day, and am beat when i get home after 13-14 hours on the road.
plus i have been an "adult babysitter" to 5 idiots on top of the 600 miles of running for the past 3 days.
















but you are still welcome to come "motivate" me any time you wish

I am still pretty swollen above and below my brow. Just thought you would get a laugh out of the pics!!! I know I did when I saw myself, I thought I looked like a character out of Star Trek or something. LOL!

Sorry everyone who is lost, I had the nerve block today and look like I got the holy chit beat out of me. Not bruised just swollen.

Scott, your pics of Texas are great!

Lisa, sorry to hear you might have to send your DP back? Are you still getting your new tires on Friday?

Ed, hope your new computer is much faster!

Tristan, congrats on the new gig!

Chris, sorry to hear about your truck.....

Tom, congrats on the DP! Hope you can get it installed soon!

Evening David and everyone else!!
