Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

This is why I don't fly.

4th amendment might as well not exist. That and my political leanings and what type of stuff I post on Facebook and internet search and purchase history...

I'm on a list somewhere. Hi there FBI guy, how are you doing?

I would not doubt that I am on several lists. I know I got an increase in spam from non-conservative groups when I renewed my conceal carry.

You did not give enough time after the words spoiler alert to allow me to divert my eyes!! Now it is ruined I will retreat into my WaterBox 230 and curl up into the fetal position!!
Or do I still have time to change the ending?? [emoji851]

Unfortunately, no matter what we do the ending is always the same. The important part is what happens betwixt now and then. Yes, I realize I'm preachin' to the deacon.

The entire flight a really stern looking gentleman with a bulge under the left side of his member's only jacket, watched me like a hawk.

You'd be wrong if you thought that bulge was a gun. Mr. Members Only wanted to give you his Lonely Member!

What's a 4th Ammendment?

I cannot recall if you are married to the lady who rescued you from the zoo. If you're not I hope you have a cheese fountain at your wedding!

I have a really funny story about the airport. Btw, when an officer asks your name while checking you for weapons, do not respond with "what do you want it to be?"

 

[12gallonsofhex]

@dantimdad what a great story! It had me laughing so hard in the beginning, and then mad at the TSA for banning you from flying for 90 days over what amounted to a nothing burger. Thanks for sharing! I needed the laugh this morning!

That sounds like something I would say for sure.

I had a cop read my license and say "Are you Steven Brown" I said, if that's what the license says, then yes. Not really my finest moment.

You are welcome. I crack up everytime I remember the whole thing. At the time, it wasn't very funny though.

Routine traffic stop. Cop asked me where I was going.

Pointing in front of the truck, "That way."

Cop asked where I'm coming from.

Point thumb over left shoulder, "That way."

"Ok Mr. (butchers my last name), I'm just going to give you a verbal warning for filling the street with black smoke when you left the hardware store. Try and keep from doing that in the future."

Did I hear "black smoke?"

Nope, not married. I've managed to "avoid" that twice now. Long story on the second one. Let's just say I'm glad we split when we did. Six days later and it would have been really expensive. Maybe 3rd time is the charm tho?

 

[dantimdad]

I know the third marriage will be the charm for me.

21 more days!

Yes sir! Not intentionally tho. I just really didn't want to sit there and wait forever, so I pulled out kinda hard and fast to get in front of someone.

I don't go around making my truck smoke for no reason tho... it's just tuned on the mild side of being fast. Dynoed 400hp 730ftlbs, but it needs injector work and isn't up to full strength right now. Someone, keeps buying fish and won't spend the time to tear the top end down.

Married once, got it right. Going on 14 very happy years. Maybe it worked because I am my wife's 3rd husband. Neither of those lasted a year. I was also in my 30's when we got married so I knew what I was looking for.

 

[dantimdad]

Nice! I see you have a block heater. Great piece of kit. Had one on my 85 300sd.

Very glad to hear this. I noticed how happy you two are with each other.

Yes, helps in the "winter." The truck was originally sold in South Carolina, moved to Alabama, then to Alaska for a few years, and then back to South Carolina. The original 99-04 grill had snaps all the way around for a grill cover... that one got smashed by a white tail(I've hit 4 with this truck), and I updated the front end to the 05-07 style, since it is a 6.0L after all.

I recently installed a battery maintainer also. I have two red top Optima 1000CCA or so batteries in it, and they are only 3 years old now. I had to jump the truck off several times and the starter was getting slow when they did start the truck. After the maintainer, the truck starts fast and I never have to jump it off.

Try jumping a cold diesel with with dead batteries and no glow plugs. Those glow plugs pull so much power, it's faster to unplug the GPCM and crank it pumping gray smoke out of it than wait for enough power.

I'll tell you how much power it is. The alternator can't keep up. For the first minute the truck is running the glow plugs are still on. My scanner will show 10.5-11VDC until they turn off and it jumps up to 13.5-14V. Headlights dim, wipers slow... its crazy.
