    Sounds like the woes I am having with my pickup. I get the new gas tank in at the repair shop. I go to pickit up and the brake pedal goes right to the floor. One of the hydraulic lines at the master cylinder had rusted. So it decided that since I shelled out $600 in repairs already, I wont mind shelling out more? Painful repairs. Yet at least these things are showing up now as opposed to trying to do a emergency stop some where else.

    Hard to make money when the pickup cant be used. Out $400 worth of work already.

    That is a good gun. I have learned to appreciate about the Model 73 Winchester roughly. with the 44-40 217 grain. About a hundred yards or so take a man with it. Others do way better than me but at that 20 inches sight on barrel being 4 inches back where my fixed lens is thats where I best shoot. I asked the eye surgeon to give me 24 inches prior to surgery with a lens And he did.

    Never mind the night, the stars are always burning the brightest shortly before the Enteral Morning.

    That much? We dropped in a proper Master Cylinder with brake lines to it long ago for a hundred intact plus labor for a hour or so. Call it 150.

    I am hunting for a modern Master for my truck. Mine is the original with the snap tight fit 4 corner rubber flap. It's not going to hold up when I stomp it for whatever reason. Drop one in with a screw top and clear coat to see the fluids. Thats perfect.

    I read all 4 of the Lonesome Dove series books,
    Reading Lonesome Dove was a waste of time as the miniseries was exactly identical.
    But the other 3 books were way way better than the movie, I really liked the one where the guy tracks his tall stolen horse down to Mexico.

    I also have read the books.

    Now the books... *Fans them... whew... what thoughts and words.

    However the Movie in the first original did a good job of keeping track without all the other book stuff which probably would have turned it into a 5 hour Lonesome wolves or something.

    The only other movie I have ever watched in a epic sitting is Stephen King's The Stand which approaches 10 hours begin to end.

    Thats why i believe vehichles are. Smarter than we think . they have a sense they are in the shop , because its always that way. Get some work done on it then stuff just starts braking one after another in the next week or so. I think they love bein touched by mechanics

    The USA women are in the soccer world cup for all the marbles.

    I find myself conflicted here, because the Dutch team is pretty loaded with hotties.

    No one ever wins in a soccer game. They should all just hug, and put on sexy witch / cat woman outfits.
     
    Lepton1, NightHawk365, Opus and 4 others Thank this.
