Woo Hoo! Good news on the plow--was as simple as having 2 wires reversed when he replaced the distributor--not the timing chain at all--so it's purring like a kitten now. Whew! I may just pick up a lottery ticket on the way home even though that news was probably more rewarding than I'll get from the Lottery Commission. :)

I just found out my truck needs a wheel bearing. It's about $400 for the part alone. If it does fall off, then I'll still have 5 wheels left...

LOL - here's some HollyGolightly trivia for ya - I love sharing this:

I turned 13 on Friday Aug 13th at 3:13pm. I was born in 1969 - this is a fact.

I live a blessed and charmed life - clearly 13 is a good number for me - not so much for those Knights Templar though.

My dad was born on the day before you. Although his mother's birthday is the 13th.

Oh no, nooooo.... bad weather, bad bearings... I hope Santa will be kind to you and your truck.
(Don't you take any risks now Nate... you really wouldn't want The Big Bad Kiwi to start doing the waggly finger at you. :biggrin2: )

Oh geez Nate - am I old enough to be your mom?

Well, you were just a teenager when I was born, just like my parents were... :heheh:

I like to live on the edge.
Just kidding, it's in the shop

Lucky for you... 'cause I got bloody close then--had my hand off the mouse even. :biggrin2:
Damned vehicles... we need 'em but don't they just eat into our wallets, food cupboards, mortgage payments, fun...? *sigh*
