Lol I'm usually drunk on the weekends so you are good.

They don't have enough bunks in the parish prison for me to work weekends.

See, I would have, but…nah. I decided 1) to be lazy 2) to not do anything while on pain meds, since I tended to not think clearly.

My friend wants me to help him do stuff to his car over spring break, so we're gonna exchange labor. And I'm planning to just dump the trans fluid, and force myself to do it lol.

sounds all to familiar lol. but before my truck went to the shop, it was also very cold and that pretty much kills all motivation

and i read the posts with guys at 9.99% interest on their loans...damn. im 19 with a cosigned loan on my 03 and i believe my interest rate is 6.3%. it was through a local credit union...they also knock off like .2% because i used one of their checking accounts for the payments to come out of. it was hard to find someone to finance my 03 too

Oh yea, that's the biggest killer. I don't like doing stuff at grandparents' house, cuz my grandpa likes to "help" and by help, I mean yell and not listen to me, but it's the best place, physically for me to do work, it's covered, and level. I can't get in my garage at home and my driveway slopes, so it's not ideal. That and the cold is no fun.

***…lol

I hate selling stuff. It's a pain in the a$$. I need to go get my grill guard and running boards off my aunt's porch. Had to drop em there because the turd that was supposed to but them never called/showed. Waited for him for 45 min then said *** it.

So I got an inspection sticker lol. Then it was like 8:50 and I had class at 9:30 and had to drop my aunt off, so I ditched the chit and went to class.

Yea it sucks to have the percent that high. Once I signed papers for the bank that offered me a loan with the offered lowest interest they told me that my bank also offered a loan. Had they told me that I would have gone with my bank and had the rate lower by a percent or two. It's chitty.

Luckily the weather is starting to warm up again so I can get working on my piece of junk.

Never gonna happen. I had a bad experience w/ a 7.3 had no powa. Thought I was gonna die trying to make a left turn. Luckily the light changed and saved me.

Lol, but it was bone stock. Needs a tune or something, it was just sad really. But it felt like a diesel workhorse, minus the nemo mirrors.

Oh, and the water separator is, in fact, at the back of the fuel bowl. Better design than the 6.0…at least I wasn't covered in diesel…
