    There are a few people around here that will let you use theirs, it gives them a place to fatten their animals, and you don't need to worry about removing thistles or berry bushs, but Dave's cacti could have a new problem.

    As soon as we started back towards Phoenix, it stopped leaking.

    Can't see it. Somewhere on the passenger side behind the frame that holds the radiator.

    My ### is so thoroughly kicked. A little mobile, and going like 75% retired is looking awfully good anymore.

    Serious question:

    Is your recent mood based solely on your fuel pump, radiator, and trailer frustrations? From afar it seems as if you have had a really good run in regard to repair costs. Perhaps this is no longer a challenge but more of a pain in the ###, or just not fun anymore?

    Personal life as well. But that truck is by far the worst, biggest mistake I've made in probably the last 20 years. I'd be +$100K right now if I'd never had gotten it, instead of looking at selling the casa.

    I could pay it off now, then sell it. Rather wait one moar year. Or sell the casa, then pay it off. I've heard about trucks like it, everything just breaks. F that. It can sit, we'll pay it down, then off, then bye bye. Maybe a sink hole will envelop it.

    I don't know. I do know we feel awfully old right now. Just never wanted that much. Guess didn't want it bad enough.

    And all the breakdowns are just part of it. Every time we've left for the last.................nine months??? Right out of the box it's big hassle, F'd up trailer, F'd up receiver.
