Wtf I’m not a fella and I don’t think I would have stripped the front end off to change the battery. But I do love you guys and gals for the great sense you bring to this place.

I'm waiting for the Advil to kick in and then I'll start removing the last radiator hose & the trans cooler lines. Yesterday it was clear enough outside that I could open up the garage & hose out the dog pee from under the truck, but not today. Good thing I have all those clothes I no longer fit in to wipe down the garage floor.

Late last night I found my battery dead (again)—had to be jumped for the first time when I bought her 2 1/2 years ago and I’ve milked every possible crank out of it by basically cranking up every other day. This time I went out less than 48 hours apart to crank her and “click, click, click”.

Btw, employee discount family use. Damn half the price.

Also, I looked up the proper procedure for replacing the battery. Wish me luck.
The ad shows a $22 core charge but the receipt shows a $16 core charge.

I apologize for assuming, that’s my bad.

And I was just reading through the posts and saw you mentioned doing a battery and the whole “wish me luck” thing, and then the next pic down was a light colored raptor with a front end apart… it’s just my brain and my humor, all in good fun.

Finished my 7 day road trip to Wyoming to see some family, then detoured down to Colorado for the same thing. Went from 80 degrees in Alabama to -8 in Wyoming. Stupid cold. My low was 10.5 and high was 15.2 mpg with the below average. This included in and around driving as well. Now I have to get all that salt /dirt and road grime off.

Your basement
Have you ever been a fella, asking for a friend. :hidesbehindsofa:
Nope, nothing hangly dangly here, I use maps regularly so that’s asking for directions, and I can “bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan”—let your friend know definitely always been a chick.

The ad shows a $22 core charge but the receipt shows a $16 core charge.
Family employee discount also.

No apology necessary, I’m happy. I rarely take offense at anything.
I can see how you thought TomDirt’s picture was of my truck.
Have fun, I am. At least we can say our wrinkles come from laughter instead of sadness or anger.
