    I have a nifty lamp test setting on my truck that tests all the lights as I walk around. Tires get thumped multiple times a day as well as having those cat eye gauges on the valve stems.

    Oh and a PSA for everyone. Check your driveshafts for mystery 2" ratchet straps. They come the F out of nowhere.
     
    FlaSwampRat and Cattleman84 Thank this.

    When I was working in the welding shop I put a few zip ties on a guys driveshaft lol. He couldn't figure out what the noise was.

    Thank you Tucker.

    I adored my mother in law. She was an ER nurse and a beautiful person with a sharp mind. She beat back cancer twice and when it came back the third time she said eff it. The whole family got together for her passing. She got to do her goodbyes and then peacefully went.

    I’d never seen a family love each other so much. My wife and her sisters are amazing. They love each other and laugh constantly. None of that BS you usually see. It weirded me out at first. No #### talking at all. No guilt. Nada. They just love each other. Their mom gave that to them.

    They have a truck at the alignment shop that may be suitable for FL Swamp Rat.

    So heading north on 93 out of Wells. About 2 hrs before sunset just minding my own business. Getting close to Contact NV you know those turns about 3 mi to the south. Start to go around a curve and see this ####### Bison trans driver coming the other way eyes down crossing the center line. I throw out the anchors head to guardrail blowing the air horn. He snaps too and yanks it back and his mirror just misses mine.
    I #### near STT ing my drivers seat. What's up with those Bison drivers I swear they are worse than any of our mega drivers

    I love that this is a perfect description. It makes me happy that it is being immortalized on Internet.
