It seems like a good turnout from this thread! We might have to meet at a diner for a cup of coffee that morning!

how lucky to go to Carlisle .....all the cool members and cool happenings are out east.
I am getting the impression the population is pretty dense out on the east coast.
I am late today ....my alarm sounded and instead of snooze I turned it off in my half asleep stupor and then I woke up an hour later really needing to get going and everything has been kinda off this morning :???:

Morning Rani! And have a good one.
have a good one? your leaving already?
Hello Rani !!
hi hello
nah I was saying what happened earlier because I have to go to work at my first job by 1 a.m. and I get back usually by 4:30 so it was all in past tense LOL
today I have a strut job coming in .....late model ford needs new struts on the front so that will be interesting how it all goes back together. I already have the parts just waiting for the customer to show up.
Morning Rani !

Sounds like a good time. I am just waiting for the frost to disappear before I go out to do things. Had fun baby sitting I see.
Did you get the Quick Struts or do you have to compress and change the springs. Do you have a strut compressor?
yea, the car work seems easy after that.
Kids scream and poop every 40 minutes. I had to change my blouse like 3 times because the baby kept spitting and oozing out some clear slimey stuff from everywhere. Its like kinda gross but kinda not ...its weird. I think I will stick to the axle grease for now :???:
Rani I saw the hubcaps 
ops: wheel covers from the auction, I really like them what are they going on?

they need to be compressed ....I did the loan a tool thing at advance auto ....you put a deposit and when you bring the tool back they refund you. Pretty handy.
My son was a puker for a while there. Give him a bottle and watch out it all comes out. I know they cannot help it but every time I burped him I had a wet neck and back!

they are probably going to be spares for now .....I have a friend with a set on his Satellite.
you mean the 67 ones from Mr Mike?
it seems like 4 ounces go in and 12 come out ...its amazing
When I was in the Parts Business, we used to give the customer one of those real nice Brannick wall mount rigs, if they stocked our shocks and struts. Now I wish I had saved one to bring home to my shop.
Look it over real good before a trip to the parts store. Fords have lots of broken springs. (I know you will anyway.) tmm
8 out the front and 8 out the back! I think they just suck the nutrients out and discharge the bulk! I do not miss that part of parent hood.
the big debate in my head was whether to go with Gabriel ultras or Monroe gas matics
I went with the monroes .......hope that wasn't a mistake.
The only other option was KYB but those were a LOT more money ....almost double plus they needed to be ordered. The others are stocked.

Our inside/outside cat "convict" just showed up and wants to come in, but he smells really bad like a skunk! I guess it is spring. I think he is staying out for a day or two!
The Gabrie'ls and Monroe's are virtually the same thing. Kinda like Coke or Pepsi
Good morning I think, that would stink #-o
that is something when they break because those springs are really stout.
I am not really a fan of dealing with a compressed spring but I guess its just a matter remaining calm and paying attention to details.
