I'm sorry but TX just does not have any good pizza places. I'm not a fan of deep dish pizza, but some of the ones here are very good. Still, the best pizzas I've had were all in NY.





BTW, I fckin hate mosquitoes (and bugs in general). They serve no purpose! I just caught one that was filled with my blood.

Insurance did a great job taking care of me fast and quick. My friend got into an accident recently and there insurance progressive sucks ***, took them like 2 weeks to wait for police report before they even started to do anything at all.

I was going to get a TL type S about a yr ago.....but I didn't want to sell the truck back then.....now I kinda wish I had in order to get it.

Q, type S is the only way to go with the TL's.

Mosquitos are the devil. I was outside the other day running the trash and I get inside and notice a big whopper chillen on my leg... Swatted that thing with a mag and there was a huge blood splat.

Nice pick up Jake. I've been using the handheld spring compressor and it works great. That will be cool for virtually hands free operation.

When I did the 370... the shock BARELY went halfway up the spring - I was like - "aw man!" so they had to get compressed ALOT and I could not with the manual one.. I needed to upgrade but didnt want to spend 3-400 bucks on the wall mount kind..

Ya I have found that my manual spring compressor has limitations. I spent a long time on some tanabe springs. Got it done, but it took way too long. That stand up unit is baller.

I usually squish the **** out of mosquitoes (and many bugs) as a punishment () for being in the same vicinity as me.. and just to make sure they don't come back to attack me.*

*I've had to do a bug project in 9th grade where I had to collect and pin 25 different bugs (after they've been killed and preserved) as a project, and I had a grasshopper and a cricket come back to life and squirm on the day the project was due. Never trust bugs; these resilient f*ckers even fake death.

Just spreading this on all the local boards I can. It's worth the read. Please help out in any way you can if you feel so inclined.
