Was the cranial rectal inversion successful at the chiropractor this week. They put me on a motorized waterbed while I was hooked up to electric stimulation for 45 minutes. I have no idea what they were trying to accomplish. |

They should have offered a happy ending option.

Good to read the Fiat-Chrysler is able to sell those trucks someplace. LOL!
Just kidding. I have a preference for Ford products but Dodge trucks are just fine. BTW. The rear bumper on my 1998 Ford F-250 was once mounted on the front of a 1951 Dodge 1-ton. See, I have no prejudices~~~

I was a Ford man for many years, although I raced Mopars. Then they started to let me down. 79 Ranchero kept burning out the computer and leaving me stranded. Taurus SHO had a bunch of issues with quality control and it was going to be more than the car was worth to replace the water pump. Since the 97 pickup came out they haven't made anything that appealed to me. We looked at and drove the 2006 Explorer and the Chevrolet Trailblazer was better in every way. I looked at the Ford F150 in 13 and I hated everything about it. I also didn't want a turbo in a pickup. I was never a fan of the way Chevy trucks drove and rode, plus they were too proud of them. I walked into the Ram dealer and sitting right outside the door was a truck that was built as if I had special ordered it. I kept saying "I love this truck! Every time I drove it for the last couple of months, so I guess I cursed it. 72k miles and never had a single issue. I am not as fond of the new one, so I'm probably stuck with it. If I was rich and had a need I would probably look at the new Ford F350, but they cost more than I paid for my home. Have you seen the prices for the new trucks? And the crap they put on them is so complicated that it's bound to break. The new 4-wheel drive range selection, etc are computer controlled. 🤯 |

Glad to hear it, Marty...had a similar situation...after having already 2 surgeries to repair damage done, I was sure that I needed it again as I could feel the grinding bits of bone in my shoulder...Dr. looked at the MRI and x-ray and said nope clean as a whistle but boy did I have inflammation...so I got the shot, and much to my surprise...it worked and no surgery for me.
Sunny and cool here in central north Florida.

much diff re: trucks here. For now, my '05 Ranger, biggest 4.0l engine, 150k miles, nothing major. Bests....actually can drive it myself. As in, change my own gears when I want not at the whim of a gear changing machine. Next will be Toyota Tacoma, 290hp V-6 & manual. Only other choice with manual, Chevy Colorado, but little putt putt 4-cyl engine. Fine around town, but won't put up with at least 11sec 0-60 time on open road. Am sure some will say they have handicapped left leg, ankle,knee, hip. Fine...allow the machine to change it's gears when IT wants to. I'll drive it, not aim it. Nothing full-size anymore with an actual 3rd pedal, but I have no need for something that bulky + can be a bear to park.
Oh....the old Ranger had 4:11 rear gear ratio. Bought it new, traded in the required trail tow pkg it came with for Flowmaster dual exhausts. Cost me around $50 for that. Damn, that was a long-winded post & apologies to those offended & can't use clutch pedal

I have been mad as hell all day. Some worthless SOB complained about my dog not being on a leash. I don't need a leash for Roxsie she is never more than six feet away from me outside and stays in our space. Then the park manager spends 10 minutes looking for dog poo in our spot and finds one tiny piece. I told him I clean up after my dog and to go piss up a rope and when he was done with that he could go F himself. Then I told him I was missing packages sent by UPS and Fedex signed for by the office and I would like to know about that. So he calls back and the packages I have been looking for weeks for where there. I have been up there twice looking for them. He says well the girl does not speak English very well. Then I told him maybe you should hire someone who does. Don't ever get in my Arse about my dog or space as I keep it clean and pay my rent on time every time. Oh well might have to move and I can certainly do that in about thirty minutes. Mean while we have a lady in here who has never picked up her dog poo and he told me she carries a bag. I replied BS and sent him video footage of her. That's right I have cameras and also sent him footage of me and rockie hanging outback. Rant over.

You'll have to take them to the garage. |

Obviously, he doesn't know that you can, and will have, a short fuse with the proper armaments to cure his nosy attitude. Let Roxsie crap where she wants...and if you need some more I would be happy to airdrop some more dog poop to fling at him should you find the need to. |

Thanks Uncle Walt I knew you would understand. Now BMW for years if you change something as simple as a window lift motor it has to programed into the BCM with its serial number to work. I made a small fortune on them when I did work on the side. Water cooled alternators, leaking radiators and front ends. Don't take my word for it look at all the used ones available fresh out of warranty. However they are fun to drive.
