All that makes it a new truck. Good luck and I hope the warm weather finds you.

I greatly fear that it makes it a truck with over 150K miles and a lot of expensive reciepts! :undecided:

Fire06 · Jan 14, 2014

At a point you have to make the call before you get buried or are the repairs just a lot of maintenance type issues all at once.

Porkins · Jan 14, 2014

Doing some electrical work, then move and setup the wifi for the printer.

HARDTRAILZ · Jan 14, 2014

Sneaking out of work early i think

Fire06 · Jan 14, 2014

Just finished 2nd toilet install now off to get hair cut.

IllogicTC · Jan 14, 2014

Well I should be getting off to bed, but I was too busy surfing YouTube for a while there.

Ended up watching vehicle tug of wars, and found this one for those who need to complement their vehicle with a superiority complex:

[video=youtube;baT5Ytj3A-E]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baT5Ytj3A-E[/video]

Also, ever notice how in the videos where one guy's vehicle breaks (or sometimes like straight-up disentegrates) everyone's all "OH MY GOD WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO (HIS/HER/MY) RIDE!?" Like they don't understand that no matter what badge is on the hood, the engineers have not yet been able to suspend or change the laws and formulas of certain aspects of physics to better suit their redneck needs.

A close second on the freakout list that I love is the people who can't believe X brand pulled their Y brand. There was a video posted around here a while ago, Envoy vs. Dodge I believe. Envoy won, the Dodge had horrible tires. The guy goes "Dat thang ain't pull naw DODGE." Again, as if the very badge on the hood is some certificate of infinite performance, and can (once again) suspend the laws of physics, such as friction/traction.

Trust me, if the "Proudly made by UAW #xxxx" badge on the inside of the door isn't a guarantee that my vehicle will hold together (we've all heard horror stories about this model and that sometimes having manufacturing errors not caused by engineering/design teams), why would a symbol or a few letters adhered to the front be different?

Yeah me too, but not be choice... Been digging through different websites and watching demo videos for Digital Asset Management packages, and dealing with the salespeople that come with it, for a new (to me) project at work. I want nothing to do with this, as I'm not gonna be the one using it, or the boss of anyone who will be.

We've tried to go this route 3 times before, failed miserably, and all of the people who chose the packages are no longer with the company.

The only other consistent action, was after the previous administrator was gone, management came to me with "We have this thing, no one to take care of it, and it doesn't work right, can you figure it out and fix it?"

So now instead of bringing me in at the end, when it's a huge steaming pile of crap, they are shoving me into the fire right off the bat. Joy! :suicide:

Fire06 · Jan 15, 2014

Going to clean the headliner for the boys car so new material can be added.

CaptainKD · Jan 15, 2014

Business meeting. Time to act like an adult.

blazinlow89 · Jan 15, 2014

Got my hair cut this morning, then changed the full pressure regulator, threw on the pickup wheels so I can get my other ones balanced. Now at work, and have to go the eye doctor to make sure I didn't fsu when I got splashed with fuel.

dmanns67 · Jan 16, 2014

Another day at the manufacturing plant.

Fire06 · Jan 16, 2014

Just up with the day to start again.

Hatchet · Jan 16, 2014

Just got word that some of my cousins on there way back from Ohio hit a patch of ice and hit a semi. Early reports is one cousin is in bad condition in hospital, and one might be dead. Waiting on a god damn phone call for confirmation on who is what.

Aarkon · Jan 16, 2014

Sorry to hear that man

Hatchet · Jan 16, 2014

Just got the call. My cousin is dead. One of my other cousins has broken vertebra and ribs. Still unsure of his condition.

Edit: My other cousin was air lifted to a different hospital. Has 6 broken vertebra. He's in critical condition.... Not good.

Sparky · Jan 16, 2014

Holy crap that blows.

smt 59 · Jan 16, 2014

Fire06 · Jan 16, 2014

Hope the rest pull through Hatch... And my thoughts are with you and yours..

TexazReece · Jan 16, 2014

Im so sorry that happened :frown:

my condolences

Envoy_04 · Jan 16, 2014

Hatchet, I am so sorry to hear about your cousins. My most sincere condolences to you and your family - I too have lost family members to an auto accident involving ice. Hang in there, we're all here for you.

Hatchet · Jan 16, 2014

Thanks all. It happened in Ohio on a turnpike beat state route 66 north of archbold, oh. Still waiting to hear about my other cousin.

glfredrick · Jan 17, 2014

Asking the Lord's grace and peace for you and the family during this time of loss, and that He guide with wisdom the hands, minds, and hearts of the medical professionals who are working to save those so horribly injured.

Sorry for your loss. My cousins just came in from Omaha due to their grandfather passing.

Had enough of this death...y'all be careful out there!

Hatchet · Jan 17, 2014

For the last few years, all the deaths have been early in the year for me.

And thank you all for your support. On good news, my other cousin is doing ok. He can move all body parts, he's alive and well. Just a few broken vertabra and some cracked ribs.

redleg6 · Jan 17, 2014

sorry to hear Hatchet :grouphug:

as for me, I was on the way to Texas this morning, but got a message about my daughter from my ex saying she isn't feeling well and will be laid up this weekend getting better...so I turned around and drove to work...Witchita to Kansas City, MO in 2 hours 12 minutes

BoldAdventure · Jan 17, 2014

Genuinely sorry to hear that, life is short.

redleg6 · Jan 17, 2014

I would like to point out that, that while a member of GMTN.com, I actually feel comforted by posts from other members at times. Partly because we all share a common interest and we all share parts of our lives while posting bits and pieces of things that all of us are familiar with. It's good to have an extended family on here. And for that I appreciate all of you. I may not talk a lot about personal stuff, but it feels easier on here.

Now where is Uncle Roadie?

Have a pleasant and productive weekend everyone. :thumbsup:

-Sean

Waiting for my papers. I got my paper W2 from my former employer already, and am still waiting on the electronic W2s for the temp agency and my current employer.

Such is life.

I'm waiting for mine still too. They'll wait until the the day of or day before the deadline before they send them out. It is one of their attempts to push us to get them electronically. Can get electronically around Jan 13th, but I keep forgetting to sign up for it (need to sign up the year before I think).

But I already got the paper one. I need my two electronic ones. lol
