Except I have to make a recovery by Saturday so I can keep my plans with Jim to wrench on my truck.

It's gettin an exhaust dammit! Whether I have to take a nap on a creeper or not!

Haha. No we can't. Not unless you want to do them by yourself.

I've got to go to Gettysburg next Friday and Saturday.

Right now I'm down to a stuffy nose and slightly sore throat.

I'm trying to take my temperature, but my nose is stuffy and all I have is an under the tongue thermometer. Suffocation by thermometer =

Alrighty. I was able to get down to see the rig before I was quarantined. (told to stay on the couch to try to get better)

I got PB Blaster sprayed on the clamp near the turbo as best as I could get it from the ground. I didn't much feel like climbing all over everything. If I feel a bit better at all tomorrow I'll go back down and try to get it again.

And then I'll remove the 656 from the shop so we can fit both PSDs in at the same time.

If I had the shop cleaned up good I could probably fit 2 PSDs and Pinkie in at the same time.

Our shop started life as a chicken coop. Then it was set up on concrete walls and it was given a few windows and recently it got white painted plywood on the ceiling with some good lights. It's large enough to hold 2 triaxle dumptrucks at one time. It's tight, but they fit. I've seen it done.

If J-L likes pink cars she'll love the Jeep.

Don't worry about fitting my truck in there. I haven't ordered my sway bar bushings yet. We'll get the exhaust and guages on your truck and fix the dome light. Then I'll try to convice your mom to let you drive the truck.

Haha..those are the best kinds of pictures of me..the one's where you can't see my face.

That's Flag Mountain, near Taylor Lake in Gunnison National Park, Colorado. Way up above timberline, quads would barely run at that altitude.

Well either way that 656 is sitting RIGHT in front of my box and I don't like it. So I want it moved and this gives me a good excuse.

And Jim you might as well just sit down and hit yourself in the nuts with a rubber hammer. You'll get just as far as you would talking to mom. Thanks for the thought though.
