Everyone is ok. A couple homes were lost in another town. We've had record setting draught, heat, spring tornados, fall tornados, hail, and earthquakes just this year. Next up is flood and blizzard.

I just read in a article on yahoo that walmart has released their black friday discounts. They said they are including goodyear tires for $59... Im sure those are small little street tires but all the goodyears may be marked down, so if you need/want duratracs I would look into it.

Just wanted everyone to know the X has failed me.. haha. SO, was driving down the road and felt this horrible shaking in the steering wheel. I thought, oh its just bumps in the road.. So, i kept driving. After getting off the highway, I turned into the gas station parking lot... "Grrrrrecccc".. (sound effects are awesome). I yelled, " YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME!!", as people were wondering what was wrong with me. Got out, crawled underneath the X and discovered the problem. Broken tie rod end.. Very sad and very expensive to fix.. Luckily, I drove straight to the dealer and no extra damage could be found. So, nothing major I know but sad... Only thing I have had to replace that I did not cause to break.

yeah, it happens... Almost $400 to fix but it's a maintenance thing.. Or at least that's what i keep telling myself and my check account..haha. The dude said it was not anything I did just happens over time, which I can understand. Anything that is put under enough pressure over a period of time with eventually break.

Bummer that it busted, but at least you're taking pretty well. I've seen people blow a gasket whenever they have something go wrong with their vehicle. They start ranting and raving about how terrible it is and how they're going to trade it in.

Well, the way I look at things is realistic..haha, Such as, if I sell my vehicle, I would lose a crap load of money. If I don't fix the issue, my wheel would fall off causing a horrible accident. If i just pay to fix it, my car is happy, I will get over the money loss and move on and will not die in a horrible fire as a result of me slamming into a concrete barrier at 75mph considering I am leaving for Wisconsin in a week. haha.

Sorry to hear that! Me and head gaskets dont have a good history, 2 cars....2 blown heads.
I almost spent more on repairs than I did for my first car. The X still has about 4k til that happens. Which im hoping it wont! lol

Yeah, thanks bro. I seem to have bad luck with cars recently.. My cobalt I added in my build decided it wanted to go crazy.. Had to have final drive replaced with only 25,000.. Xterra... New drive-shaft, transfer case, front u-joints, blower motor, and tie rod ends... Of course, it is 6 years old so its to be expected.. Owned the X for since July 2010.. Total cost of repairs? $1,684. But I still will not sell even if I could.. I love my X.

I am the same way lol

I like to stay busy and with my left leg not wanting to bend, due to a longboarding accident the other day, I am stuck inside watching American Guns on the Discovery Channel with my leg up, at my parents house before the Texas A&M game.

Well when people get that bored they usually resort to sex and wind up with another baby. I feel yah though. I've had severall weekends like that but the past two have been half way busy for me. But the weather is still nice here.

This always happens to me, and I almost always go into the garage and find something to mess with, most of the time its the old leaf blower that wont start lol. Or I do things like take the door panels off my X and just see whats behind the panels :D

Or go to walmart or gander mountain and find things I want but dont have $ for lol

I just hit hour 7 of a 12hr shift...trying to watch the Clemson Gamecast on ESPN Bowl Bound app on my phone, read a book, and plan out my build budget, but work is getting in the way of that.

I'm a former MP, and security is what has been getting me through college, since HRB is seasonal. I'll be done with my EMT in May and I hope to have another fire job after that so that I don't have to come back to security.

Well, I work for a hospital out of NYC as a remote system admin.. So, basically I do much of nothing.. Hints why I have to comment on everything from this website because I have nothing else better to do. haha

We finally got all of our scheduled trucks done with, so now I just sit and wait for 4 more hours to clock out and go home.

Good news is that Clemson finally pulled a win out of their butts.

Okay brother, we got to get you into turning your own wrenches. A tie rod should not run more than $200 for the set, only four nuts, and then a $50 alignment and you would be set. :)

Yeah, I know... It is definitely something I could do but I just do not have the time to do it right now with work and holidays coming.. To much driving to do.

The Duct Tape gobbles have smiled upon me today. I came home from the gas station to see something in my front lawn next to the road, and upon closer inspection, I discovered the offering. Behold!

Half a roll of duct tape! The good stuff, too! :D
