mostly it continued to be "funny"... God, neither of them are fit to serve... and just fodder for the cranium - if that was a presidential candidate debate.. where are the other candidates?!?
peanut butter and banana sandwich actually sounds great today.
I just picked up a breakfast burrito, so peanut butter might clash with a burrito. Then on the other hand who cares, it all mixes in your tummy anyways

Hey bartender!
I actually slept during the night time when normal humans actually sleep ....I still cant believe it!!!
fell asleep around 10 and slept all the way to 3 MST.
I don't even remember falling asleep but when I woke up, everything was weird because I have a clock that is out from a power outage so it flashes the wrong time. So I woke up and realized that I didn't even know I was sleeping when I was ....weird
That steering coupler is kicking my ***, the rectangular followers were put in wrong, the pin is tack welded to the steering shaft and the cover is also tack welded on. Why this was done????????

well - that's enough of that normal stuff outta you!!

yeahoo... can't grind the tack welds off?
so, hypothetically speaking.
If someone were to get a van and mount tool boxes and make a mini workshop out of it.
how would one know if it is over loaded ......like that is to say that tools and tool boxes weigh a lot and then when gathered in one place, that is going to be a lot weight.
The van in question is a 73 extended 3/4 ton van so what is a "healthy" weight ?

I would venture you could get away with 2000lbs without hurting anything
Now... I know Tike didn't do that did he ???
It should have a GVW on the door or post for manufactured recommended weight.
This is 2300lbs in a 1/4 ton Jeep Comanche.
No the previous owner changed the steering Colum out. It did not even have the spring between the shoes. I hate to do it but if I cannot get theat pin out this am I might have to pull the column. The one in there is from something else like a Cordoba or something, no idea why.
You'll know... When the rear tires POP !!!

just did a quick google - most 3/4 ton vehicles can handle another 1000lbs over what I initially said without concern - so even 3000lbs should be ok
That's what I was thinking double the rating.
heavy vehicles scare me because of the full floating axle bearing. I have seen a bunch of bearings go bad and the axle comes out and you have a wheel in your mirror ....You'll know... When the rear tires POP !!!

Or the springs snap!
