Paul you O. K ? Is it really broken

I think I have the Nextel disease... sorry...
Shoot me a PM...
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I broke it. It doesn't bend and it's all sorts of pretty colors. No big deal though. I'll just limp around for a couple weeks. Due to a couple snags like snapped hydraulic tubes, I didn't finish. I also have a hose on the right side that must have been built wrong, because it won't go up to the caliper the way it should unless you twist the hose. I think I'll be sending it back.
Well Tim, Did your phone Number change?
Things I learned, 1, Pictures based on a 3rd gen, don't work on a 2nd gen, No surprise.
2, Richard of GDP is in on Sunday, to answer questions about his lift pump kit. 
3, It’s some how easier to get work done in Derby, instead of at home.
Paul, Get well soon, I'd hate to see you hoppin' mad! Moose 00 Oo.

Moose 00 Oo.A little old broken toe will slow me down, but I'm still getting around. Maybe I'll just let the truck stay down until I get the battery relocation/onboard air install and cab lights in, as well as finishing up the brake job. The turbo should arrive someday soon, too, I hope. I gotta get all the boxes out of the garage. I have a nice, big 80 gallon compressor, hose reel, regulator, water separator and so forth I could either share with the shop or I need to sell, because it's gotta leave the garage at home. Guess I'll show up to say hello on Friday, but I'll have to fly by Harley instead of diesel power.

Now for a little humor: The 2006 Darwin Awards
You all know about the Darwin Awards. It's an annual honor given to the person who improved the "gene pool" the most by killing themselves in the most extraordinarily stupid way.
As always, competition this year has been keen... the candidates this year are . .
In Detroit, a 41-year-old man got stuck and drowned in two feet of water after squeezing head first through an 18-inch-wide sewer grate to retrieve his car keys.
A 49-year-old San Francisco stockbroker, who "totally zoned when he ran," accidentally jogged off a 100-foot-high cliff on his daily run.
Buxton, NC: A man died on a beach when an 8-foot-deep hole he had dug into the sand caved in as he sat inside it.
Beach-goers said Daniel Jones, 21, dug the hole for fun, or protection from the wind, and had been sitting in a beach chair at the bottom Thursday afternoon when it collapsed, burying him beneath 5 feet of sand.
People on the beach, on the outer banks, used their hands and shovels, trying to claw their way to Jones, a resident of Woodbridge, VA, but could not reach him. It took rescue workers using heavy equipment almost an hour to free him while about 200 people looked on. Jones was pronounced dead at a hospital.
Santiago Alvarado, 24, was killed in Lompoc, CA, as he fell face-first through the ceiling of a bicycle shop he was burglarizing. Death was caused when the long flashlight he had placed in his mouth (to keep his hands free) rammed into
the base of his skull as he hit the floor.
Sylvester Briddell, Jr, 26, was killed in Selbyville, Del, as he won a bet with friends who said he would not put a revolver loaded with four bullets into his mouth and pull the trigger.
The following mind-boggling attempt at a crime spree in Washington, DC appeared to be the robber's first (and last), due to his lack of a previous record of violence, and his terminally stupid choices:
1. His target was H&J Leather & Firearms, A gun shop specializing in handguns.
2. The shop was full of customers - firearms customers.
3 To enter the shop, the robber had to step around a marked police patrol car parked at the front door.
4. A uniformed officer was standing at the counter, having coffee before work. Upon seeing the officer, the would-be robber announced a hold-up,and fired a few wild shots from a target pistol. The officer and a clerk promptly returned
fire, the police officer with a 9mm GLOCK 17, the clerk with a . 50 DESERT EAGLE, assisted by several customers who also drew their guns, several of whom also fired.
The robber was pronounced dead at the scene by Paramedics. Crime scene investigators located 47 expended cartridge cases in the shop. The subsequent autopsy revealed 23 gunshot wounds. Ballistics identified rounds from 7 different weapons. No one else was hurt in the exchange of fire.
HONORABLE MENTION:
Paul Stiller, 47, was hospitalized in Andover township, NJ, and his wife Bonnie was also injured, when a quarter-stick of dynamite blew up in their car. While driving around at 2 AM, the bored couple lit the dynamite and tried to toss it
out the window to see what would happen, but apparently failed to notice the window was closed.
RUNNER UP: TACOMA, WA.
Kerry Bingham had been drinking with several friends when one of them said they knew a person who had bungee-jumped from the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in the middle of traffic The conversation grew more heated and at least 10 men trooped along the walkway of the bridge at 4:30 AM.
Upon arrival at the midpoint of the bridge they discovered that no one had brought a bungee rope. Bingham, who had continued drinking, volunteered and pointed out that a coil of lineman's cable lay nearby. One end of the cable was secured around Bingham's leg and the other end was tied to the bridge. His fall lasted 40 feet before the cable tightened and tore his foot off at the ankle.
He miraculously survived his fall into the icy river water and was rescued by two nearby fishermen. "All I can say" said Bingham, is that God was watching out for me on that night. There's just no other explanation for it. " Bingham's foot was never located.
AND THE WINNER:
Overzealous zookeeper Friedrich Riesfeldt (Paderborn, Germany) fed his constipated elephant Stefan 22 doses of animal laxative and more than a bushel of berries, figs and prunes before the plugged-up pachyderm finally let it fly,
and suffocated the keeper under 200 pounds of poop!
Investigators say ill-fated Friedrich, 46, was attempting to give the ailing elephant an olive oil enema when the relieved beast unloaded on him. "The sheer force of the elephant's unexpected defecation knocked Mr. Riesfeldt to
the ground, where he struck his head on a rock and lay unconscious as the elephant continued to evacuate his bowels on top of him" said flabbergasted Paderborn police detective Erik Dern.
With no one there to help him, he lay under all that dung for at least an hour before a watchman came along, and during that time he suffocated. It seems to be just one of those freak accidents that proves that "Sh-t happens!"
