    Oil change follies...hilarity ensues

    So it was finally time to change the oil in my PSD for the first time. I got everything I need, or so I thought. As it turns out I forgot to bring forty rolls of paper towels and some smarts. Lucky for me, the navy has a place to use that has lifts. Makes it easy to get the oil changed...

    Worst Stuck......

    I went out with a buddy of mine to just about the only place out here on the island to fo wheelin'. There is a good but of mud everywhere but there is rok underneath so getting stuck usually isn't a problem. He was in his 4x4 F-150 and I had a '91 Ram Charger that I bought just for wheelin'...

    How do you like your hash browns?

    Everytime I fly into Bush Intercontinental Airport there in Houston I stop at the Waffle House right there on the way to 1960. Not in Texas for more than an hour and already feasting on a patty melt plate, scattered, smotherd, covered, chunked. I'll probably eat there once every other day...

    Grille Guards

    I was looking at the Buckstop bumpers. www.buckstop.biz They aren't cheap but they look good. Powder coated 1/4" steel instead of stainless. They have 6" light buckets built in and there is an option for a 4" too. You can also get matching rear bumpers with light buckets for backup lights too.

    Lift Questions

    What is the lift height based off of? When you buy a 4" lift, for example, is that 4 inches over stock or four inches over where your truck sits currently? I figure its over stock but then what is "stock" height and is my truck sitting higher than "stock". It looks like most lifts lower...

    Question for the gun guru's

    I'd have to say that the sweetest gun I've ever shot was the Thompson Center Omega 50 cal black powder rifle. The way the trigger system is set up make it super easy to clean which is really important with black powder rifles. A little bit more work to shoot but I love it. If a .22 doesn't...

    Woohoo!

    I just got tickets to see Robert Earl Keen with Kevin Fowler opening up on Saturday in North Carolina. Still have to figure out how to get from Raliegh to Winston-Salem on Friday. As it turns out, you can't have an F-250 as part of your checked baggage. :eek: When did they make that rule...

    Moving:

    If there is somebody out there please let me know. I'll just go on and on about how great it is and blah blah blah.:roflmao Its too bad that it will take a year and a half for somebody to go to school to learn how to do my job. That's ok though, my replacement is already here.:hail I kind...

    Remote Start

    After doing some looking at these things, I still have two questions. It looks like they wire these things all up into the computer of the truck. Is that how it knows to wait until the glow plug light is off? I'm sure it knows how to do it but the webpage didn't provide the answer. I also...

    Joke of the day

    Why did men invent shopping carts to use at the grocery store? To teach women to walk on their hind legs. :roflmao

    in the sticks

    Hey, Quitman Texas eh. You know there is awsome bass fishin there in Lake Fork. I think the state record came out of that lake. I've only heard though as I pass through to go up to Oklahoma to get some of that monster whitetail action. My family has some cattle pastures out there that...

    Hows the weather?

    Not too bad here Well I guess it was a toasty 90F outside today. Even got a little sun on my lunchtime bike ride across the air force base, about 17 miles or so. I was a little bit worried that the jeans that I was changing into were going to be too hot and would have been right but I didn't...

    What is a jake brake?

    I've seen exhaust brakes in the diesel magazines and I saw a featured truck with a jake brake installed. What is it and how does it work? If it is just a type of exhaust brake then I already know how it works. Thing is, the way the guy described that he used it makes it sound like its not an...

    My dash is sticky!?!

    Well I'll be giving it a good washing in the morning. There is alot of dust on it. I figure I'll pick up some of those Armor All wipes for the dash and try to get the sticky off with that. Hope they don't rip apart.

    My dash is sticky!?!

    Well I just got back from a two month underway to San Diego. Not a bad place and saw a rediculous amount of PSDs. Don't remember if that many was normal because I've been out in Hawaii for way too long. Anyway, my truck sat for the entire time and I come back to find that the top of the...

    YAY! I got the WIF warning twice in 25 miles!

    Well I finally got it. First on Sunday and then on the way home from work today. I was a little excited because it would be the first time I'd get to put a tool to my truck. It was all fine and dandy until I realized that I would have to walk around the mall with my new diesel cologne. Well...

    About the cat...

    Well I haven't been up as far as Charlotte. Been on her namesake ship USS Charlotte, a friend of mine is on that sub. I guess that's about as close as I could have been. I might make it that way sometime next year if I can score some NASCAR tickets.:D

    NSA program...ruled unconstitutional

    Abuse of the system is a definite concern about the phone taps and so is false arrest. We also have other programs/laws in effect that also have these same downfalls. It really sucks that you could possibly be mistaken for a terrorist but you could also be thrown in jail for a murder you...

    About the cat...

    Well so much for the exhaust plan. UPS wants $177 to ship it out here to Hawaii. I guess that will have to wait until I get back stateside. Oh well, I won't have any warranty arguments until then if somthing comes up. Doubt anything will go wrong anyway. Shouldn't be more than about 6...

    NSA program...ruled unconstitutional

    So some judge ruled that having somebody monitor all phone calls in the U.S. or however they decide to monitor whichever phone calls is unconstitutional. I haven't met anyone who is on this forum so I don't know how you feel about this thing. I'll tell you what though, I have nothing to hide...

    About the cat...

    Sounds like it only gets loud when you want it to, sweet. I'm sure that once I install it I won't be able to keep my foot out of the go pedal. But as it stands, I'm only 24 and drive like an old man, at least that's what my girl says. We'll see if that changes with the new pipes. Ordering it...
