Hey guys, I hate it when the weather threatens to get nasty and all the work orders are outdoor jobs.

I'm on call, nothing new, I'm one of the 2 guys on 24/7 call
I just got an email from my brother, the truck isnt where he had it, when he goes on lunch he's gonna call the city and see if they took it, it's not looking good, my father in law keeps pawning his old Dakota on me, like I said yesterday, I like dodges, but I was born to love fords.

So while I wait for my buddy to get here with my engine hoist, I've gotta run real quick down the road and grab the other shadow we own, my wife's car started knocking this morning, and we think the oil pump is starting to throw the white flag.......gotta pull the 2.5 outta our other one and drop the one I just finished building, a 2.5L Turbo.

today is gonna be FUN.

this isn't the first I've heard of this happening to be honest, it's pretty common here (sadly)

all of my friends and I, grab a bracket and bolt/pad lock the tires into our beds.

You know I think I am going to put some type of lock system on my spare too, esp since the PO must have purchased another KR wheel, as it matches the rest of mine.

I was thinking of running a heavy cable and padlock through the rim, and to the frame.

Yeah I am thinking something similar to that, but have it easy to reach in case I need to quickly remove it.

well the ranger is gone, city towed it a few days ago and want almost $300 to get it out, we wont have the money soon enough to get it out, so I'm just gonna save my dimes for an older ford diesel.

6.9 preferably, but I'll go with a 7.3 any day, I'm a coal fiend, but it's all about affordability.

Night guys, I'll be catching ya later.
