Not much of an update but I felt it was worth sharing... The fuel pump has been working flawlessly however the truck has been seeing less miles lately also. My wife went back to school this semester so we've been carpooling almost everyday. Poor truck has only gotten driven a few times over the past couple months. Fortunately it got up and around this week! Unfortunately, it also has inherited some inhabitants. Driving into work on Thursday and out of the corner of my eye I see this little shadow dart from under the seat to up and in the dash. I instantly knew it was a mouse and started to go into panic mode over what may already be chewed and pissed on in the truck. I've got a couple intersections with a signal light on my drive and at the first one, he pops out and sits right in the middle of the passenger side floor mat. Little bastard just glares at me like I'm disturbing his peace! I'm sure he was giving me the finger in whatever way mice do too! I get to work, grab the trap that's always sitting under my desk and throw it out there for the day. Quitting time rolls around and I go out to check the trap... bupkis. I get home and throw some of my traps on the floor and continue the waiting game. Haven't seen anything since. :fs2:

Really? I assume you're planning on driving across MN?

You looking for with the middle cut in or not? Examples:

Any pictures?... we love pictures.

Anything new on this project, Jim? :peek:

I'm using Google Chrome. I clicked on your link, then right clicked on the picture, selected "copy image URL", then came back here to click on the picture button, and pasted the image URL into the box. Ta da!

I've gotten this in the past when I "borrow" a picture from another website. I think it has to do with the format that the original picture was saved as or posted as... or something like that. If it's a picture that I really, really want to use I usually end up saving it and rehosting it on my own.

Back to business as usual... It's that time of year (or so I hear from the warmer states anyhow) that things are thawing, the trees are blooming, and things are getting that familiar green color again. I think there's plenty of us that can't help but feel like winter has gone on long enough! I know I miss the feel of cleaning up the yard, going for a bike ride, or just enjoying the outdoors... you know green stuff! What better way to enjoy this month than to treat ourselves with something... well... REALLY GREEN?! BLUE XJ'S '88 LONGBED!!!

YES!!! :banana: I really didn't think it'd actually be THAT easy! So... does that mean that I have to pick it up today also?... because that might be a problem. If it's cool with you, I'd just assume wait until I get out that way next, and there WILL be a next time. Not sure when, but you better plan on me holding you to it! :thumbsup:

What if I don't have a sister? :dunno: ... automatic disqualification?

Been keeping an eye on this with high hopes. Mine occasionally does this as well. :popcorn:

Score one for the rust-belt guys! :banana: Oh, wait... :doh:

Maybe he was just looking out for you and going for your keys... you been drinking more lately, Jim? :peek:

Who could forget a face like that?

According to UrbanDictionary.com... I'd say that if Mr. Skinner is into playing cards, I would BET he does not. :D

Nice! :laughin:

Harumph. Kind of what I'm thinking. Might just go with a clearance something-or-other from Target. Any other opinions on standard batteries or camera specific? I like the idea of AA or AAA for its easy of replacement but can't help but think that one with its own battery would last longer. :dunno:

I've been rockin' a Samsung Digimax S500 for about eight years now: Overall, it does its job. It takes pictures and it saves them. The problem comes in that I like to take pictures... lots of them. All too often, I grab it with intentions of snapping some history and it decides against it. It's hungry... and it loves to eat batteries. Would its age have anything to do with that? Lately, I've been able to get a couple dozen pictures before it thinks that it has had enough. Anyhow, what's everyone else using for their picture needs? Obviously there's smart phones and whatnot, but I refuse to join that crowd... just too hard on phones. I'm looking for CAMERA cameras. Any opinions out there?

Changes to green-red-blue-purple... Things have gone vertical also. :D

YES!!! Thanks for going through and getting the pictures working again! Awesome build. :banana:

:yes: Sorry... had to. Truck looks good!

That makes two idiots here then because that's the way i do it. I don't think of it as being an idiot. I think of it as doing what's necessary when you work alone. I'm in that boat, so I suppose that'd make it three. :group beer:

Neat little units!... but I think they're just too good to be true. I think the idea is great that one can throw them just about anywhere as they don't take up all that much room. You can run them on 110 or 220V with just changing out the plug which is also kind of handy. The problem with them is that they're slow and take a ton of practice to get a quality product out of it. Think of it like a plasma cutter that uses an electric current to make the material molten and pressurized air to blow that puddle through. Now take away the air so you just have a puddle. Sounds like a oxy/fuel torch, right? Pretty much all it's doing is a chemical reaction to create an extremely hot tip that just melts stuff together. Sure, you can add filler to the weld and make it a little more predictable, but it's still more of a "spray and pray" type of machine. Stuck in a ruck in the middle of an open field with a generator and no other options? You bet I'd use one! Otherwise, I'll keep my more common processes. For the price of these machines, I think there are better options.
