Well, it's just the boy and me this weekend -- the wife is on a "girls trip" this weekend with a bunch of her teacher friends up at Lake Travis near Austin. Nothing much planned, but I suspect bedtime will be later than it is when our drill sergeant is around to monitor the situation......

Been messing with this 99 M Class most of the morning. Dad called and asked if I could do a oil change since the headgasket is blown and it's been sitting for a month. Wanted fresh oil in it. Got over there and he had 8 quarts of oil, filter, drain pan, funnel and bars leak head gasket fix. Asked him what did he buy that for, apparently one of his whataburger breakfast buddies swore up and down it worked and he bought it for dad

Changed the oil and filter and I got over 10 quarts of water and oil out, put fresh in and started it, oil pressure light was off. Took it for a 20 minute drive and noticed steam was still coming out the exhaust along with water (headgasket).

Began the bars leak headgasket treatment within 10 mins no more steam etc. At 20 mins still running great, not overheating etc. Let it cool down topped off coolant and took for a 30 miles drive. So far so good! Going to keep It and drive for a few days or week and see how it does.

I'm not much for these fix it in a bottle but he didn't have anything to lose, if it works then great, if not no biggie and it will become a driveway ornament!

I just spent about 4 hours on the tractor cutting grass. After I got done with my yard I did the neighbors, he has a little over 2 acres. He's been away for over a month so his grass hasn't been cut at all this year. I sent him a pic and told him to take a good look because that's the last time I'm doin it

To show her appreciation, his wife invited you over for pot roast dinner. When you arrived, you noticed she was dressed more for "Beef Wellington" than pot roast, but perhaps you were wrong? However, during the meal she allowed a drop of gravy to drip seductively down her chin, across her slender neck, and down towards her voluptuousness. You knew then that this was going to be an evening to remember.......

Well you were right, it was a night to remember. I think the restraining order was a little too much though

Life is about 60/40 here. I came back looking to "steal" an 06 f150 and figured I would stroll down here and post something up. Good to see most people still have, at least for the most part, the same old rigs

Got the truck washed, clay barred and the drivers side polished. Still have to do the passenger side and hood then seal it and wax it. Now I remember why I haven't really detailed anything for a while....I don't have the patience to do it anymore!!

Wait until the Kodiak Brown is sparkling in the sun, then it's worth it.


I get compliments all the time on this color. Atleast once a week when the truck is clean.
