Most of you read my post on racing the truck last week.  On the way to school yesterday and new Mustang pulls beside me and slows down.  He then proceeds to give his car that "Let's Race" action.  First off I am not stupid enough to race a Mustang.  Second their was a car about 50 yards in front of me. Third I was not going to turn off my AC to race. It was hot out. I just look over at him and he looks at me and then he takes off.  Why do people always want to race me.  My  truck don't look like a hot rod.  At least it don't to me.

Its called ego.  Imagine just how much re-enforcement this guy needs if he tries to race a 1989 3/4 ton pickup!  What I do is go along with the whole idea, getting ready, revving up, the whole nine yards until the light changes...then just sit there and take off at a regular speed.  then hope theres a cop somewhere around!!  Remember, the reason your truck looks as good as it does and is in the shape its in is because you dont do stupid stuff like that!!!!

Now here is a man with self control who knows how to stay cool under fire.  Congrats, let some other numnutz get the speeding ticket-

I've found the best way to get rid of people like this is to roll down your window and have them do the same.  Then give them a complement.  Something like "Hey, nice p*nis!  or somehting to the line of insulting his manhood by having such an egomaniac car.  Not that all men are like that, but if they need to race to prove their manhood, let the insults fly.

A note in your window that says " Don't try it....you don't want to know what's under the hood" might work.

    • Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?  
    • I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery. 
    • The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.
    • Got heavy rain, hail and light rain yesterday. 
    • I'm putting in an A-pillar pod/gauges, and I'm asking if anybody can identify a (preferably) fuse for a switched power and illumination circuit on the driver's side interior fuse panel. Offhand, everything I checked with a test light was constant-hot, and I'd much rather uses a piggyback fuse. I can certainly find a wire, but I'd rather not half-tap.   Thanks in advance for any help.
