Doin a few shake down drives. Idles decent, clutch needs a bit more adjustment, got the new wiper resivor in finally. Noticed she shifts better with the proper T/O bearing too. One side blinker dosent blink. likely a ground issue. Forgot how fun they are to drive

Too bad my wife dosent feel the same. Woke up with a slight cold. reply: "Maybe you got sick from breathing in the fumes from that truck". followed by "what are you doing today/ Me: I am going to p/u a fuel filter for the pig this morning. reply: "Are you keeping track of all the thousands you are spending on that thing?" Am I one of the only one with a spouce that has dislike for this hobby? Maybe I need some more advanced pig management techniques....open to suggestionsWoohoo!
Point out that a Mistress costs more?
Fortunately my spouse is ok with my Toyota obsession, although she has voiced she would rather have another 40. She isn’t very fond of the 55 for some reason, the kids love it though. Have you let her drive it yet? Maybe that will convert her.

Continuing on the shakedown drives. A good thing as it tirns out my battery is toast, I found that out about a block away from home. I. got only 3.5 years out of it but , likely because it was sitting for a yr. Where is eveyone getting their batteries these days? Looked at Costco but they didnt have a size 27 w the correct orentation for the 55.
