Or comes in 3's or something like that right ? First I pick up a chunk of steel on one of the rear tires which was to large to repair then after observing the fronts were wore because of lack of rotation ended up buying four new treads, 
not in the plans.
Then 
's starts loosing tranny fluid , easy 2hour fix , bad factory to motor clamp design crimped line causing pinhole to wear. Cut out and installed compression fitting.
And to top it off, the old Ranch King's blade spindle bearing locked up half way through the yard.
Spent half the night on the computer trying to figure out the actual part# I need to order, think I have it, but still not 100% sure.
Should have stayed in bed this morning.

That's bummer! I've got some car repairs going on right now as well that would have financed the purchase of a nice Dan!

Ron- Are you able to share any info on your deployment?
Also, once you get there, some of us like to do stuff like this:

Guys here were great when my son was in the Gulf, he was sharing packages with his entire crew.
Thanks,

All public information:
I'm the Command Sergeant Major for the 3rd Squadron, 89th Cavalry, the reconnaissance squadron for the 4th Brigade, 10th Mountain Division.
We just completed our deployment ceremony last Thursday, to case the colors, prior to moving to Afghanistan for a year.
The first of our Soldiers have already departed and the Brigade will be closed in Afghanistan, operating in RC East, by mid-NOV.
My Squadron has over 500 Soldiers and any care packages would be greatly appreciated. Last deployment I was the Operations Sergeant Major and worked with several organizations to get them linked up with my different Troops (5 in all w/about 100 Soldiers each)
I'll have internet access when I arrive and will be able to send an email with the APO Shipping address shortly after arriving.
The last deployment, Dean (and Tigger from SP Forums) got me hooked on Dan Wessons and I hate to see what he'll talk me into on this next one. I may have to take up flying 
.

thanks to all you guys who have and/or are still serving.
Blactop: Sounds like a bad day at black rock to me.
I just discovered that my AH neighbor's dog, in addition to running around without a leash, peeing on my lawn and peeing on my gaslight, is also peeing on my very expensive car.
Now I have to lay out big bucks for a secutity system with camera and DVR so I have evidence and can get him charged with criminal damage to property.
Wish me luck.

Actually it's not the dog's fault. He has been trained to do this. The owner is a flaming AH. If you llok up that word in the dictionary, I'm sure his pic will be there.

Ron, a year from the family is a long time. Godspeed your return [Image Can Not Be Found]
Mike, I don't think SHOOT's suggestion was for the dog

Blacktop, I had a day or two like yours, fortunately it has not been recent. It'll will improve for sure.
Mike, What about applying a fence charger to your car for the dog 
.
Ron,
I would be very interested in also knowing your deployment address when you know it.

Sounds like a tough run of luck there BT, keep the faith, what doesn't kill ya just makes you stronger. At least that is what I keep telling my self.
Ron good luck and a safe return for you, and of course thanks for all you do.
Mike good luck to you, I have a similar problem as the neighbors pit bull mutts like to harass and attack the wife's horses in the middle of the night. So far they have managed to retreat just before I can 
. Sooner or later they will miss a step.

Wow, Lawrence. That's really bad when they harass your animals.
I think Phil's idea may work. I've been trying to think of a way to leak 12 volts from my battery when the car is locked. Have to give that some further consideration. However, it may be illegal.
An even better solution would something that would find the owner and ZAP him/her (the wife's just as bad), whenever the dog enters my property. Insert a little Twilight Zone music here.
I really don't want to hurt the dog, or go to jail for that matter. A solution will come.
