The day from hell

Well I decided to drive my truck today since it was nice out and I haven't drove her in such a long long time. Well I went and dropped off my plastics to get painted for the roll pan and end caps and stuff and as I'm leaving my bassani cat back blows off my truck and I finally got to hear what straight pipes sound like. . Yeah it was loud so I took it to a local shop that I know of and they put my truck up and fixed it all back up and good, and I had the guy go ahead and tac weld the pipes just so it holds better.

Well I'm leaving the shop and this is the kicker of them all!!!!!!! I hear this tapping noise and I'm going what the hell is that, well I hear it and I see tthe ford dealer so I pull in there and what happened, the bottom bolt that holds my caliper in came loose on me somehow. What even harder to imagine is that I use locktight on those, nothing to strong but enough to hold it I would hope. So I pull that in there and the guys jack it up and retighten those down and re lock tight is, red stuff this time. No damage to the brakes but it pissed me off non the less.

So I guess I'm just having one of those days today where I just need to go slow and relax and park the truck but I'm not going to do that. I'm going to play hard and have fun cause lifes to damn short.

oh well that was my rant for the month.

Well to top it all off, my gandpa is in the hospital and I just haven't had time to fix my sig yet. Maybe tonight after I get home from the hospital I'll take care of it really quick. I need something new anyway i guess.

Actually, I like your new signature. The other one was way to busy and cluttered. Ari is hot, but it was just to crowded.

Joe with all these things happening to your truck this is what you need to do:

Tear apart the motor and replace as much of it as you can with the best of the best.

Since you're having brake problems too, it's time to go for some Brembos...

I would say replace the Bassani with something better but....

Put the L on the shelf for a few days and forget about it. Take the bike out and go for a ride

That's what I did today.
