Wow, I thought my dash was full of dirt on my work truck.... I'm going to have you do that on my 02 For Christmas, I get time off and the 3 daughters come over for a huge meal. it is so great.... slept almost the whole day yesterday after much work and travel time ea. day.

A dash removal job then.

Nice work / nice shop too. Thanks for the pics.

Amazing battery/ cable condition shown above........ Did the owner pop the hood and go,'' Merry Christmas'' Mike.

Great snow near in the mountains anyway. Just have to wait on the pic of Diesel till a bit deeper.

Mike how much snow? Can you get a pic of Diesel in the snow w/ just his head showing?

Merry Christmas to all you folks. Mike, I would love to build a house just like that. It would be vey unique inside too.

Good that you have a manufactured home with two feet of snow. Yours sets up higher than a regular home so your floor elevation is better.

One thing interesting in the world today is the more we see this ever increasing anti Christian sentiment, the more recent archeological discoveries are made that support Biblical history. For example, never before have they found anything related to king Nebekualezar and King Solomon. Just about a month ago they unearthed a temple showing evidence it was built by king Solomon and inside found an ancient coin with king Nebakezulars name on it. Never before in the history of archeology has anything ever been found so closely related to Biblical history. It is very significant and shows that God has his time line for these revelations. God loves all us and wants us to show faith and love toward all and everything we do. We are indeed supposed to protect ourselves, yes, but with enough discretion and wisdom to not hurt the good people around us.

She is a natural born leader, a real American and wish she'd run for president.

Oh' that's a good one. I've had some like that. Is that snow I see? How much is on the ground?

Yeah I think Michael likes to do everything twice to make sure it's right when setting up the forum. That or we drink so much beer we see double.

Dripley, you shouldn't be passing and doing 90 with that 80 ft. long fifth wheel.

Can you provide a link please. I have not been able follow any of your latest topics since nothing shows on my side.

. I fired two HVAC guys for price gouging and not telling the truth.

Yes the whole world is going crazy.... City of Portland did a fire life safety review on some plans, spent 5 minutes to tell me no special requirements/ changes and charged $452 bucks for the review. I put in a brand of flooring called Moduleo in a commercial kitchen 6 mos. ago. It was tough stuff. Now we are putting in the same brand different pattern/ color, same price per sq. ft. but it scratches if you slide cardboard on it. Don't know what we are going to do as after 1 day installed it has burnishes and scratches everywhere. It's defective and will call the rep, but, it's getting to where there is little honesty, just greed. I'm going to make some changes also here pretty quick.

That's crazy price for contractors. Oregon is about a grand less with the insurance for a specialty trade then double that if you are a general contractor. Working in a small town lately, I'm finding a surprising amount of people wanting to hire the unlicensed locals. Yes, it is unfair to us legal guys who pay each year, but, I've gotten to where I don't blame anyone because Oregon is requiring all these classes be taken and to sit there and listen to all the stuff you learned years ago, it's stupid. And then the minute your name is on an address with a building permit it is published everywhere so then the Gov't comes AND spies on you from a distance/ takes pictures with a telephoto lense, you don't know they are there and fines the bejeebies out of you for anything they can find safety wise. Fines you for things every homeowner has done weekends.

If you get your own piece of ground some land you will have plenty of work between jobs. Nice folks in nice town word spreads easier about a good guy. Youll live longer I think living more free with a variety of tasks. BTW, MoparMike and me have excellent motorcycle riding out our back doors.

Best thing is live somewhere you can really live and not be tied to expensive living. Be closer to a natural surrounding and no crowds. Do your own painting biz, but, forget Oregon it's getting bad with crowds and rude people. There are still nice pocket towns with great folks but usually the econ isn't too great so it's best to think semi retire and buy a fixer keeping bills down so low you can enjoy winters off. Somewhere along those lines anyhow. My log home is in need also and we got free hook ups for an rv on private land, but MoparMom is first, he he.

What's the elevation... I forget.?

MoparMom, Do you have snow out your way yet?

Yeah I'm glad that it is the cam sensor cause if it's the VP, that stands for Very Pissed BTW, your fuel pressure should be above 14 all the time for max cooling to the VP.

OK, now that I see how easy it is to steal our rolling Cummins gun safes , I remember an old thread about hidden start switches and fuel shut off valves.

How can they start the truck without the key, and they can't turn the steering wheel even if they did start it up.

Sounds like bad shock absorbers, but the stock ones don't last long. Try and get around 500 off the price for putting in some good ARB's or Bilstien's.
