That aint so bad. I had heard about using garden power tools to dry the truck and got a little confused once.........My kid tackled me and took the weed eater away before I could do any damage.

I never heard of such a thing ?

Well, if you mulch leaves with, just make sure you clean the prop before pointing that thing at a wet truck.

Morning

Off to go pick up one of out flat beds because I don't trust the shop it's at. The yard took in for a simple clutch replacement last week now they say an injector may be bad that makes 7 Injectors in 6 months plus they're telling us it may need a rear main seal.

Got back to town an hour and half ago. Truck was about bone dry on fuel, 3/4 of a gallon low on oil, and 2 gallons low on coolant I'm about about ready to come unglued.
