a game cam is a camera that hunters use to strap to a tree and they are motion activated so that if you think a spot you are thinkin about hunting has alot of animals coming through, you can strap it to a tree and it will take pictures of whatever comes by. when my truck kept getting egged this summer i came damn close to buying one to strap on the telephone pole next to where i park, but they stopped happening so i never got one.

Dropped my truck off at the progressive repair center today, they are going to have if for a full week but I did get my rental. they gave me a 2007 f-150 quadcab 4x4. I really miss my dodge now. The ford is gutless, feels cramped inside, radio controls and other controls are in inconvinient places. I am however impressed and thankful that they gave me a 4x4 to utilize while ine is down because I wanted to go quading this weekend.

Took the ford off roading today through dried river, (rock) by the phoenix interntional raceway. took it through sand and some mud. The pro's, the suspension is pretty soft and absorbs bumps well off road allowing me to go faster and less bouncy off road, It is a rental so you feel confortable going faster off road.. the con's Major lack of power. traction sucks felt like I was going to get stuck in sand, Mud was very little and I made sure to go in at 35 mph in 4 wheel high (about 25-30 feet of mud est..) Hands down the dodge beats the ford for power and traction. The ford was only smoother.

I will make sure to take the truck to a extremely reputable shop, Last nightI kept waking up and looking out the windows to see if anyone was messing with the rental, I guess Saturday night had me thinking. I really miss my truck and can not wait to get it back, I still dont understand why it takes a week for tires, rims and a tailgate.

This is making me rethink my decision to replace my lock lug nuts w/ standards...

Oh, Corky, while the 06 is a FANTASTIC ranged weapon, it's darn near USELESS in close quarters. If you insist on a combat rifle, go with an AR.

I did install a game cam on the corner of my shed this weekend, and discovered the ID of my "mystery beer and soda theif." (I have a tendancy of leaving a 128 qt cooler full of beer, soda, gatorade, and ice in the bed.) Turned out to be my neighbor and long time drinkin' bud... When presented with the "proof" he owned up immediately and has already paid it forward...

Now if only I had it up in time to figure out who made my animated reindeer hump on the front lawn on Christmas eve........

I have a feeling that a gagillion is more than 6.
