. Hoping that you had a trustworthy friend that could work the key for you - while you were under the truck - to "lay eyes" on the starter while engaged... Just to make darn sure that there isn't any "starter wiggle" happening? I went back and saw that you said that the rear support is on the...

. And that can be done with the Mini-Split running at about 60 to keep you cool and happy... Yep. That is the kind of perfect project for days like today - and yesterday and the day before and so on. Of course that might cause problems on the Stripper Pole. That metal might be a little...

. Yep! SALICE is a company in Italy that manufacturers those soft close drawer pieces. They sell to some of the big box stores here in town as well as specialty cabinet makers. Those things are magic for sure!

. I'm just fishing here - but having had it for three years - does the hydraulic pump "humm" like it always did in the past? Really silly question, but what about fluid? Is the fluid level okay? See any leaky spots under the truck (maybe covered in dirt dust)? I can't imagine that the...

. All the derricks we had plumbed with a pair of locks. One for the front brakes, one for the rear. Those things were amazingly simple and pretty much bulletproof too! Dump trucks and cargo trucks got one and of all the stupid things that can happen on a construction site - we never had a...

. Wow! I love the AA sitting out front! Definitely need to make a trip up there...

. Absolutely!!!

. Interesting vehicles. Me personally - I don't think there is enough government money for me to ride in one of those vehicles with all the antennas on them. Would have been just as well to paint a target on the top.

. You will be amazed to see how fast an old man can jump down out of the Gondola, three big steps to the cab of the truck (I always leave the drivers door open), flop down in the seat and bump the PTO lever down to disengage... Only seconds but a stream of hydraulic oil shooting thirty feet in...

. Nice looking truck and a well thought out list of parts. When/If you decide to sell this thing one day, having the receipts in a shoebox will add value to your sale. .

. Fryer is going to give you the ability to cook bigger stuff. Toasting is the light weight version...

. It looks like you are making good progress @Shooter308 ! Definitely cleaned up really well.

. Crispy Fries, Crispy Chicken, Crispy leftover Pizza. It does good in a short time too.

. Always nice when you can walk over to the "Stash" and find the parts to finish up a project without having to order parts!

. Definitely a faster way to cook food without heating up the house or habitat! Same thing we use here at work for lunches...

. Chances are that Joe Dope assumed removing the filter to apply starting fluid might make his job easier. Most of the motorpool folks don't have a clue (or care) about the cost of that filter. :-(

. I hate to agree with scrapping what looks like some pretty nice tires, but a blowout at highway speeds is bad news. Especially on the front axle. Your life and whatever might be close to you could be in danger. In other words, you might check out earlier than you might have otherwise...

. The view never changes... True enough. Especially if you are the second Husky on the Sled Team!

. Those electric jacks are great @Another Ahab . I installed one on a 35ft camping trailer and it was the best upgrade on that vehicle...

. That is GREAT NEWS for sure! Yes sir, broke at home beats on the side of the road any day. I don't have anything to prove that part number here. Hopefully some of the other guys can chime in
