Good evening guys.
I hope everyone got through the storm OK.
We had what we think was a small tornado touch down in my neighborhood.
It was only about a 1/4 mi from my house.
The path was about 5-600 ft wide and a 1/4 mile long.
No one's house got hit but the trees are all over the place.
One car got buried buy a tree.
My wife was on her way home and had to wait 1/2 hr for them to clear the road.

wow.....definitely no storm up my way!

andy i got your message when i came up out of the basement, around 8. when i get back down there tomorrow ill give you a call you can swing by. i think they may be going back to monaco to buy a 2010 f-150. he was up there today considering the 2011 but the fuel savings doesnt offset the interest on a loan compared to the 0% available for the 2010.

well i have mudders on the new truck, but i also have my first gremlin.....the front passenger door switch (or wiring...) is intermittently failing, keeping the dome lights on. i will be looking into that tomorrow. i picked up a pinion seal and a driveshaft hanger bearing that i may attack tomorrow as well.

WD40 will fix the sticky switch.
