Good morning, today is my sisters 21st bday. My 23rd is next week

 

 

It's Friday! That means Lil cinnamon rolls. Good!

 

Ok - so I am sitting here in the office, working away, and I keep hearing this dog barking outside - over and over and over. I get up and walk outside to see what is going on (since there normally are no dogs barking in downtown Marshall) and there are 2 cowboys riding their horses down the street (this is probably one of the busiest downtown streets in Marshall). Very curious now, I walk out closer so that I can see down the street a block or two - and I see that these guys are roping steers that are running down the street. Cars are stopped and backed up down both sides of the street.

There is a packing plant just a couple of blocks down the street and it seems that someone left a gate open and the steers escaped.

One by one I watched them rope the steers and drag them back down the street to the packing plant. There are blue heelers helping keep them "corralled". That's where all the barking is coming from.

This has been going on for about an hour now. Strange. This would probably happen only in East Texas.

 

Yep, we close the gate in West Texas.

 

I keep waiting for someone to walk in and say that they hit a cow and want to sue the packing plant.

 

Michael is probably out there handing out his business card.

 

Just made an offer of $275. I think I'll get these instead of the exhaust. I actually need these.

I would think that would be money better spent. Just my "conservative" opinion. I need shocks, I'm sure, just haven't made myself spend the money. The Bilstns I want will be about $500.

 

Yeah, the front shocks suck. The Eibachs will make my setup much better, and Bilsteins will help your setup.

 

Bought the damper kit last night.

 

sweet congrats on the purchase! I guess you are gonna make a trip down to austin now

 

Nah, I just have to do the coil swap. Shouldn't be too hard. If not a shop here can change the coils for me.

 

Took the Expedition for it's annual oil change and state inspection. Then wahed it and washed my truck. Was a bit cold while I was playing in the water. I hate washing the Expedition. The paint is different from the truck and it's hard to get clean, plus that sucker is BIG. Lots of crevices, too.

 

Cat hit the wheel?
