I think it does, and jojo, would you believe after replacing both pads and calipers on the front end of the truck, it all comes down to a single 15mm bolt that had worked itself loose. That was the entire cause of the problem

Sounds like when we work on the trucks. Last time we did maintenence on the 250, it started as replacing a blown thermostat cap on the radiator, then when we went to move it out of the driveway the starter blew, then we found a major issue with the rear fuel sending unit on the test drive, and when we crawled under to replace that, we found frame rot that needed to be cut out and repaired.

I dread when we finally do the oil change on the Ranger that's due. It's making a weird grinding in the front and we have a bad feeling that it's a dragging caliper. It needs an over haul and tune up, but we just don't have the time to do it proper with everything else that's going on.

I keep trying to convince him, sometimes it's worth the $60 to just take it to the shop so they find the issues for us and we can use the extra time for other things.

This weekend, we have to try to finish banging out this laundry room remodel that got hung up, cuz I'm not going another week without a dadgum washing machine! Need at least another coat of mud, paint, yadda yadda.

Lol. Does that qualify you as a grouchy old codger today?

Absolutely! Just realized...... since I can apparently only get out da wrong side of my bed..... I'll try getting out backwards tomorrow and see if it helps!

Gonna kinda miss the backyard once we move, looks so wastelandish in the winter. It's a mixture of dirt patches, grass and moss, that turns various shades of brown and grayish greens when it's cold.

Sounds like the house my former coworker purchased. It was a foreclosure, so it wasn't in very good shape. The former owner was a bit ...... that he was losing his house so he stopped up the drain and left the water running. The house was flooded and basically the entire interior had to be gutted. He bought the house for less than 30k. He bought the house in the winter so the huge yard was covered in snow. When the spring came and the snow melted, he saw the entire yard was littered with beer cans and bottles. He ended up filling 20 trash bags.

Know how people say "I could use a vacation"? I need a vacation from being out of work.

Yep, so I'm looking for some side work while I decide which trucking company I'm going to. CRST and CR England have a training program in Fontana.

check with Robertsons Ready Mix..they are always hiring, and do paid training as well.

View attachment 631087 I have no self control...added to my wish list, but may just switch to the mod, even though I love the color of the tank, I'm not sure I'd use it much. Of course, still have the pink and green sigeleis on the list, too.

the baby beast is a pretty decent tank

Man, all this talk of mods. I was gonna buy a new set up as my birthday present to myself. Oh well, Deadpool hasn't failed me yet.

which mod is deadpool?

 

[wvloony]

Well i got to the shop today....but my rdta didnt...at least not while i was there. The shop owner was explaining that he was still expecting it today, but his usps delivery is apparently related to shanipua. His mail hasnt been getting to his shop till 8 pm, and he closes at 7, so if its there tomorrow i will jump over the mountain and pick it up. On a side note the bolt did the trick, truck is back up and running, so it wasnt a total wash out
