Humidity probably had a lot to do with it. One trick is to swipe your finger across while its still on the paint, if its a clean swipe (no smearing) then its ready to come off.


Snow is finally sticking here for once.

I've been saying since i bought my chev that that truck would be the death of me. Well it came one step closer today to doing just that today. We accumulated 14" of snow between friday at 8:30 and sunday at 6:00. The truck had been sitting for a couple months because of my dealings with federal government and on account that I hate the stupid thing. So after these 14" of snow everyone and dog wants to buy a cheap 4x4 truck so i went out to get it going and sell it. Well the lift pump wasn't working so I shoveled it out and crawled under the POS to test for power which ended in me hurting myself and had this INCREDIBLE pain on my right side. Hobble into the house to phone mom. Mom sends dad over to take me in to get checked out. Ends up I pulled the muscles that go between my ribs. For the first time in 15 years of working I had to call my boss to tell him I wont be into work tomorrow. Frickin Chev.

Still don't know if there is power to the lift pump yet.

That's pretty much dead accurate, unless the canal decides to rise up.

I'll make sure to stay clear of your house too when I head back to Chicago for thanksgiving break later this week, I've seen all those guns you have.

It's a sign. It's telling you to kill it.

Yeah they definitely seem like great tv's - highly reviewed too. I was shooting for a Samsung, but I couldn't pass the deal up esp with my discounts as an employee.

They'll never catch me!

Yeah 75% off plus another $30 since part of the stand was missing. Got a Roku box, hdmi cable and our warranty for 2 years coverage for 160 otd. I'm very happy Ordered a replacement stand off ebay for 33 bucks shipped and a brand new remote since the one they gave me was for a Vizio Smart Tv and some of the functions don't work. Still can't complain.

Hopefully going to pull the trigger on a new Hyundai Sonata 2.0 Turbo about a year from now and retire the truck from DD duty. Been checking out the exhausts on them, they have a ton of aftermarket support.

I should not be left unattended to surf YouTube!!


My dad has a 231 CI aluminum block V8 bored .30 over, four barrel Holly Carb, nice mild cam, with a Borg Warner NWC 5 speed behind it sitting on a pallet in our warehouse. I currently have a project tractor with no motor in it. I wonder how long it would take him to notice it's missing?

As long as you don't kick in the door you're perfectly safe.

I may get one of these signs and hang it on the garage just for giggles.
