    Well yesterday i was looking at my broken winch.Seen it was broke up top like where the cables are.I put some bolts in the front and tighten it down and seems to be fixed.I will be trying it later.
    I hope it is fixed because if so that just saved me $300 LOL

    I have been hearing brake noise was like **** looks like it is time to changes the rear shoes.So i said let me check the fronts out first and the passenger side inside pad was wore all the way down.Glad it is the front and not the rear atleast it will be easier to do but still dammit lol

    Had a flat trailer tire the other day $10 fix then today my truck tire was low must have ran over something another $10 fix.I hope they are done for awhile lol.
    I got a car picked up today and **** was it cold hooking it up.I think it will sit on the trailer for a few days until i get warm enough to go mess with it lol.

    But on a side note i have since around nov 6th or so started selling used auto parts on ebay and i have been selling a decent amount.I have sold 16 things since then with a profit after ebay fees,paypal fess and shipping charges of about $300.So that isn't bad consider if i left it on the car i would have gotten maybe $10 bucks lol.

    i siphon gas out of junk cars as well. i put a fuel filter on my gas siphon kit. i may later put a cheap eletric fuel pump in its place later with a switch to turn on and off with.
    what i nomaly do is take a fuel sample. if it clean fuel then the rest gets pumped into the gas can or truck or whatever. but if its real dirty,gummy,funny colors then i will not use it and not bother pumping it out.

    **** John that truck looks good with the plow on it.I got sick and here lately havent had any motivation really just been feeling lazy for about the last month or so.I need to get back at it lol.
    I seen a 06 f-250 4x4 on ebay the auction ended at 4550 but the reserve wasnt met.I am thinking of getting one here soon maybe.
    My old truck does ok but if has a few issues that really p me off lol.Just wanting something newer and i would like to have a newer cummins but cant afford that right now so i think a v10 wouldnt be bad really i dont guess.

    I saw the potential , don't worry. Anything that sits for 10 years in a field half sunk in the ground is not usually salvageable. Never thought gas could smell that bad.
