Can't wait to get rid of the other car. Going to be nice to have my entire driveway back.

It usually happens when I turn to the left. I feel like it is happening more and more Just hit 48,1xx on the truck. My calipers are rubbing the rotor rust shield and he said not to worry about that as it is not hurting anything braking wise. Truck stops great. I noticed as well when I accelerate at say 2900+ rpms, I hear a rubbing noise on the back of the truck I want to say the passenger side rear. Almost like a rubbing, but it skips? I bet that is the caliper on the rotor. Now my brakes squeak a bit when I stop. Not all the time, but it happens as the truck slows down. He said the pads and rotors looked good. I hate freakin' noise

now it's time for yard work.


Had to jump the truck off today. I guess the Griffon killed it since it hasn't been driven in a month. Started fine the last time I was home.

Hello slacker's! I'm busy working my AZZ off, everything that goes against the Slacker's Creed! Also waiting for some oil to show up at my doorstep, maybe some Mobil 1. Look's like 5 or 6 dollar a gallon gasoline is right around the corner once they figure up how much it's going to cost to clean up this oil spill. Got to feel sorry for these shrimper's who were just getting ready for the opening of the trawling season. Oyster harvester's too taking a loss not counting the recreational fishermen including me. Got to get back to work. Catch ya'll later.

Just set-up paypal and an ebay account. I have a few nice mods taking place in the next couple of weeks. I may hold off on unveiling until I do my wheels
