I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
I have been running a high biomix and keep a red bottle just in case.Sam, just going through you pics and saw the garage. About as messy as mine AS I STILL AM WORKING ON IT.
I secured an 05 excursion. 2000 miles away from my home (near Houston TX). buying without driving it/smelling or seeing in person. Everything that you normally don't do. I buy cars for a big family of dealerships so its kind of normal, but its different when its your cash. I'm pretty stoked since its the trim level wife wanted, and its been bulletproofed. and 5-8k less than it would be if it was up here in the NW. ill post up the pics once it arrives, were probably a week or more from delivery.

Does it have a cummins in it? Sorry, between my BIL and I we have around 20-25K in two different 6.0L motors.....With that said I've saw some that had several hundred K on the clock and mine pulled a 36' 16GVW enclosed trailer 150K before it went south. So I hope you the best luck with that truck.

Will be my wife's driver so it will never see more than 1/4 throttle. The toyhauler is the only big thing it will tow, other than the 18' flatbed. All the major stuff has been done, so at this point we just have throw caution to the wind and hope for the best. Worse case scenario it doesnt work out and I unload it at an auction. The NW diesel scene is insane and I'm sure I can get my $$ out of it. But I too have spent 10k on a 6.0 to get it back on the road, as well learning the 7.3 is a turd in the mean time. One of these days I'll have less kids and maybe some more $$. But for now it's what will have to work. Here's a pic for now
I knew you would want to see me in short shorts JR, and it has been a good mini vacation with the boys down in sunny St George Utah Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Your little man looks happy Dave. I got to bring an overdose victim back to the land of the living today. The good feeling that brings is quickly squashed however by the realization that the 2 week old baby in the house is hers and she is passing whatever she took along to it (heroin cut with fentanyl is popular as of late). Like they all do, she denied taking anything but she's not the first one Narcan had made a liar out of. Then I almost got my fool self and another firefighter killed. I will elaborate more on the details after some sleep but for now I will say that there can never be enough emphasis on doing the little things perfectly. Not just right, but perfect, every single time.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Had the youngest helping out this morning rebuilding the front walkway at the hide/retirement place. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Youngest and I worked on a cement edger for the backyard. Pored an 8ft section then washed it. I did 12ft before this with just 6ft to go now. (pics later)Worked on the treehouse putting up temp supports, replaced 2 1/2 lags with 4 1/2 lags and drilled a 1 in hole for an all thread for lower supports (that was work).Side towards the house will be cable supported with a 3/4 eye bolt up high.
Should be done about noon tomorrow.

Dave I would find a review on BBQ brethren or pelletheads. I really like my RecTec. Look for heavy stainless on the burn pot and the diffuser plate. Mine has a cool down cycle that blows on the firepot removing almost all the ashes. I never vacuum the ashes. Although I'd like to have the meat probe and more Programming on the controller you probably won't use it as much as you would think. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
