Yes I will bring her. Yesterday I was thinking I might be in my wifes minivan.
I had a VERY hard time getting the driver side rear tube in place do to the head coolant line being in the same place the fuel line needed to go. I was thinking I might need to order some parts and make a custom line. But I got up at about 4 AM with a clear head and tweeked the line and was able to massage it into place after about 12-15 tries.

Thanks Pete.
It is a work truck and a toy. Like I tell my wife I don't play golf or go out and drink with the boys so let me enjoy my truck. We all need a way to relax and for me it is my truck and my yard.

Landscaping and have a nice truck to pull the trailer and play with.
I realize you're just doing your own yard though, but aside from that it's scary similar.

Just a little tip: If your spelling isn't all that great, but you don't want to constantly misspell words then use Fire Fox instead of Internet Explorer.
Fire Fox has a built in spell-checker. That, along with it being more secure, is the reason I use Fire Fox.
We've got somewhere around 2 acres total here at home and maybe half of that is grass.
And 3/4 of that grass is weeds right now.
I didn't really take an interest in the lawn until last year so I haven't had much time to start turning it around.

I'd be doing better if this confounded rain would go away.
I'll be there Sunday unless there is some sort of catastrophe.
