We decided not to do Universal because of how tired everyone is and the fact that Universal starts jacking up the prices for busy days in the park and it's Spring Break.

Packing. Getting ready to vacate Disney and go to our hotel for the night to lay around the pool and sleep....

Got home from work yesterday and noticed the fish tank was about 6-8 gallon's below normal so I put 5 in and went about getting trash /recycling ready for today ,dinner then sleep . When I got ready to leave at 4:15 this morning I noticed the tank was just as low as yeasterday . UFCK , GLUE FAILURE , DOUBLE UFCK !! So costing me a day of work and maybe some hardwood flooring also need to check basement ceiling . Oh joy !!
TRIPLE UFCK !!!!
Fan's going aimed at the hardwood floor and one in basement aimed where a ceiling tile once called home . On a good note no water on any guitar's but have to wait a couple day's to let the hardwood do what it's gonna do !! Also had a little 10 gallon tank in basement so the fish survived . They just went to apt living :rolleyes:20220325_073413.jpg20220325_072102.jpg

so besides vroom vroom juice prices, i wanna talk about something else. so yeah im gonna mod the hell out of my new frontier, so of course im making a shopping list. i got suspension and tires pretty much figured out. truck protection (skids, sliders, etc), is kinda strange. now of course all our know bumper people are gonna need some time to design and prototype b4 they go to market and yeah there is one im seeing along with skids. now granted all of are the aluminum meme so yeah they coast money. but one thing that has me go, "ok really, guys?" on price is they have normal steel rock sliders for like 1500 which is like double of what and sliders ive seen. im just glad my truck came with some passable "rock rails".

but yeah, is the price of material still silly?

Whelp. Plywood on the trailer is all sealed up. I also got the lights mounted (gonna have to pull them off when I skin it). Gonna try and talk the wife into letting me run to Lowe's in the morning to get the plastic sheeting to skin it.

Name me a good gangster movie to watch that isn't one of the best known. Don't tell me gobblefather, goodfellas, casino, Scarface, the departed, a Bronx tale, etc.

may not apply if you’re looking for New York/Italian mafia type, but I enjoy the following movies which could be classified as ‘gangster’:

Layer Cake
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Snatch
 

Prime

yup. i know what youre thinking cuz im thinking it too. just go buy gen 2 skids and sliders. my question is, is the rocker panel lower or higher on the new rig?

now the skids im a little hit an miss on that too. with the new engine and trans in there, im wondering if they changed something in some of the cross members so thing may not line up 100% like a gen 2 truck.

im hoping by the time im ready to buy all that, a few more guy get more stuff made to level the market.... if the damn market wants to behave..
