I'll check it after I win the war against the DMV (Ohio's MVA). I have an expired license cause I'm active duty, but i'm exempt so it's cool. I went in to get it renewed while I'm home, and they said they can't renew it without proof that I've been out of the area. Why does it matter?! Anyway... I have to go through an extremely convoluted process involving 3 email addresses, and two computers to get the document they need.

My good news (always keep it balanced): I think the CB radio I've had in my room for 10 years actually works, and it's a 40 channel with CB/PA, Ch9/19, and it's compact. EDIT: It's a Realistic TRC-418. (Here)

thats your problem right there... its like they mounted the trac bar 3 inches way too high. the way i understand it (wait for dukie to chime in) is that you want your trac bar and drag link to be parallel (imagine a line from the mounting points on each because neither bar is straight). hence why the yellow line doesnt follow the trac bar in the pic, but goes from axle mount to frame mount.

I have a cb. I get a lot of static though. Could be cause I live in the city, or because it needs to be tuned. I smell a cb install/tuning, meet and greet at Jakbobs!

Not even a flurry down here in Crofton, MD.

I took a half day today and I've been sitting at my computer working on my federal resume and glancing out the window hoping it will snow so I have an excuse to leave the computer and go play. The job hunt isn't going that bad. Once I have my DD214(military service record) in my hand(tomorrow) then looking for a job will get a little bit easier. I had a human resources person from the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Cheltenham, Maryland contact me earlier this week and invited me to come tour the campus since they have a Driving and Firearms Instructor position opening up. I toured the place yesterday and I'm putting in my resume today for the position. *Fingers Crossed*
