Playing

Today Dave and I went wheeling. It was some damn good fun. I got to improve my off road driving, although that doesn't mean I'm perfect yet. I got stuck in the snow twice and Dave had to pull me out. I also got high centered on my dif's which were nicely dug into the ground. But I also got myself out a few spots too. Like I got shot out of a hole the wrong way and slid strait into a tree, it only bent the bumper a bit. Then later in an attempt to fix the bumper I smashed the front drivers side into a wall of dirt. It didn't work it just turned my head light slightly to one side. But it was really good and I didn't have any problem's getting home safe and sound. I haven't got a call from Dave so I assume everything went well for him once we parted ways.

There was one other slight glitch. On the way out to the main road I decided to skim a large puddle and it kinda grabbed the whole truck and spun me off into the ditch. I didn't even need the 4X4 to get it out.

Drunken Update

So I have my truck back and it's all good except for the fact the the rear drivers wheel always trys to lockup under breaking. Not to mention that when I park all I smell is burnt breaks, so tomorrow morning we're gonna look at that.

Tomorrow night is a good by party for one of my friends.

My friend and mechanic Dave wants to got off roading Sunday because it should be nice and muddy. Next weekend I might be going camping with some friends too.

Shockingly Broken

Well apparently when my last starter motor wouldn't disengage it may have eaten the teeth on the fly wheel and as a result my new starter only got about 5 starts before what little that was left of the teeth gave up the ghost. So yet again my truck is sitting lifelessly in the Telus yard waiting for a Flywheel to come in.

On the up side I got to see Katie and Mel briefly last night.

Always remember if you want to know if a car is a lemon just ask me if I would buy it.
