im ordering the lights this week and should be able to do the fitting this weekend. itll be a tight schedule. . . it may end up being JUST the headlights and no bezel at that time. just depends on how much time i can get off to do this.

Unhappy

Well, it's official, my engine is SHOT!!! Lost compression on my way to work. Driving along in 5th gear about 3K then very big hesitation, a trail of smoke and it ran like crap so made a detour to my mom's since it was on my way. It quit just as I pulled in her driveway and rolled on in. After work I went to check it out and there is absolutely NO compression from either rotor. Well, it's D.O.A. at 114666...

Well, I just got a call YESTERDAY and I'm leaving for basic on Tuesday (I'll be in Nashville Monday) so I'm not going to be able to join all of you. Sorry about that, this was really short notice for me and I'm a bit on the overwhelmed side.

Well, I joined the Air Force. Basic training is in San Antonio Texas. That's where I will be. Yea, monday I will be at the Maxwell House Hotel, tuesday I go to MEPS where I leave for the plane. Fun, fun. Tonight I'm going out so that should be fun. Kind of sucks having such short notice, but hey, I have the weekend to hang with family and friends so I guess all is good.

Man, that was quick. Well, give us a shout over there. I am sure you will still be able to get on the computer after basic. Good luck.
