Good morning/afternoon everyone.
Happy Friday.............oops, just realised it only Thursday for the working folks. Sorry.
Those are all great Jim, I've done all of those.
Don't use regular saran wrap, it's not heavy enough. Get some of the stuff they use in warehouses for wrapping pallets of boxes and such. Much more heavy duty and it doesn't tear easily. Wrap the car aroud the middle (covering all doors) 20-30 times. The vaseline trick would make it near impossible to remove it with bare hands. You'd need a knife to get in.

Chris: Take your time getting her back, she is expecting it now, keep her on the edge for now and when she lets her guard down then get her. You can jack up her car just enough so that the tires are not hitting the ground and put blocks under it she goes to drive off and no go. If she had hub caps a few pebbles in them will drive her nuts, as well as a tie wrap or two around the drive shaft.

Chris....
Type in key bumping on youtube...pretty scary actually. Most kwikset locks and simple deadbolts like that are very easy. It slides in and bumps all the pins up and with slight pressure on the cylinder by turning it the pins cant come back down and you just turn the cylinder and it opens! I made my own bumping key at work on our key machine one day. It took less than 2 minutes!

Good afternoon kids!
Lisa, I'm sorry to hear about Mattie and your little flea problem. Hopefully all the cat food she at won't screw with her allergies..... That's the last thing you need after dealing with flea's.
All this flea and tick talk has me scratching.

Alrighhty so how is every one doing on this fine Wednesday? So here is my story....
The new 08 450 is already in the shop. On Monday my Chris and I changed the Engine oil and all went well so we decided to change the trans fluid. First the fricken ford dealer ship want 67.95 for a trans filter second never listen to the parts guy no offense Ed I know your smarter then the ones down here. He said to add [u][b]19 quarts of fluid[u][b] So we started out with adding 15 Qt just to be safe and we went for a spin and then we stopped and looked under the truck and there was a huge puddle of fluid and we about Shi* our selves so we raced home and dropped the pan because we thought the pan seal gave out. So we do the whole thing again and at the 15Qt we did before and went down the road and then then we checked it at it and saw that it was leaking once I saw that I about passed out on the side of the road so we went home and just left it there for the night. So in the AM I decided to just take it to the the ford shop. Today I find out it was 4 Qt's over What it should have been
I thought the trans was a goner but the shop says all is good

none taken
I have a tough time listening to people about vehicles. Especially at ford dealers. (Smile Ed I do not mean you. I think you are the only right guy at any Ford dealer)
Nick I am so sorry. But at least you have a tranny that lived to see another day.
And I did have another thought about his avatar but i wont even go there. It does totally creep me out.

I have used Frontline sincre the 80s excpt a short while when Diesel was a pup and never had a flea or tick problem except the short time my son used one of the others on Diesel
I get my pet supplies from Australia for about half what they cost here

Because we have so many pets, and our vet does referrals to my wife, he matched the online price, but yes the Australian online was half the list price.
