I have been on a super hot streak lately. I won't get into all the details (simply because I am too lazy ) but I will say that I have been "chuckling" all the way to the bank.

I did have a minor mishap while at my favorite crap hole in Ontario, CA where a driver parked to my left pulled out and took out my bumper and part of the left fender. The good thing is that I am at home for the holidays and the truck is currently in the shop for repairs.

While it is there, I am having a few "upgrades" done. I am having both fenders repainted a different color, a 14" drop visor to replace the existing OEM one, replacing my existing 18" Texas square bumper with a 20" square with lights, and the clutch brake replaced.

When the truck is done, I have a set of Dyno Flex 8" straight pipes sitting my garage waiting to be installed.

She should look (in my opinion) pretty sharp when everything is done.

PS. Im told to tell you to get a load to the home ranch, wife has beer and wants to see the purple pete with the new stacks, and other "stuff" you have added, willing or not
Make sure you tell the family I said Happy Holidays! Also tell the boss that if Kathy can get me a good load out of there, then I will be more than willing to come on up and drink some beer

BTW, when the Pete is all done, she's gonna look great. Just need to get the grill and JJ lights next.

Yeah I have been doing extremely well over the past couple of months. We all knew Arrow was on the way out, just surprised they lasted this long.

Happy Holidays to you and yours!!!!!!!!!

Not real sure what prompted this post, but I do agree with it.

Merry Christmas from my family to yours. Happy to read that you have been earning a solid wage for all of your hard work.

Make sure you post some pics when you get your ride back. I am drooling to see 'em.

I am registered for MATS 2010. We will be there Friday and Saturday (26/27 March). Like I said earlier....if you can make it, a meal or two is on me.

I am still sailing the Seven Seas....will be underway for a month on americas favorite carrier USS CARL VINSON in January. We will be observing GQ's and Flying Squad Drills ensuring she is safe to sail to the west coast. Once I return I will be ensuring my personal record is solid for my....get this......8th look at Senior Chief. Not sure what the heck else I can do......oh well.....you know how this drill goes...... Being a Damage Controlman was fun when I started back in '89...not so sure anymore.....should have been a cook.....LOL.... Enough of my whining.......

I wish you a Merry Christmas and may the New Year find you safe and prosperous.

Thanks brother and a very Merry Christmas to you and yours as well.

When I get the truck back I will certainly post pics of her.

Oh how I remember the drills, I was on DCTT for years and I definitely know the "drill" when it comes to board time. Best of luck to you.

p.s. If I do make it to MATS, I'll take you up on the meals and in return I'll provide the cold amber beverages!

MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone. Hope everyone was as fortunate as me and made it home to family and friends for the holidays. If you're out on the road please be safe and enjoy what you can.
