    Crap?
    Through your mind?

    Was your ring-gear puckering that much?

    Crikey!

    Some mistakes are too much fun to be made only once.
    I don't know everything about anything, and I don't know anything about lots of things.

    It was puckering a bit. It doesn't take much throttle to get this thing moving and I wasn't watching the gps so I didn't have a clue how fast I was going. I just figured it was well over 55 and it wasn't going to be a cheap ticket.

    I got all the glue removed from the fender trim and emblem for the blue excursion. I replaced the 2 sided tape and got them installed. I have to figure out why the RH front window isn't getting power to roll the window up. It's looking like it might be the main switch on the driver's door. That'll have to wait until after we go on vacation in 2 weeks.

    I haven't had any time to work on this thing. I cut a hole in the bed floor and shoved the goose neck ball in, and put it to work. I still have a long list to get done before I start making routine trips. I had a neighbor that needed a skid loader hauled, and a friend that needed a small tractor hauled. I used this truck since it is the only truck I have with a goose neck hitch currently. They were both short trips. I could have used that front drive shaft yesterday morning though..............
