So I come out to my truck this morning, it's parked underground in my apartment building, and there is a note tucked into my door handle. Now I'm used to getting looks and people approaching me about my rig but this one is a doozy. It reads, and I kid you not!
"I like your SUV, let me know if you'd like to sell it to me for the real off roads of Africa"

signed "*****" and a phone number.

The thing is I came home late last night. So this dude is either stalking me? or up at whee hours of...

I've had 2 notes left on the Sami sitting in the driveway at home. And I'v=

Years ago I had a date and I was running late. Did very bad parking job and didn't take the time to fix it. After the movies I came out and there was a note on my car that said "Nice parking a$$hole, Merry F%$&ing Christmas!"
It was written on the sleve of a cigarette pack.
I know, nothing to do with tire size but still funny.

I'm usually pretty good as catching waves, whatcha driving Terry?

It is possible he leaves earlier than I do, but man I'm out the door at 6:30am. Who knows, still a strange one.

Jen is your Jeep red? saw a lifted Laredo on what looked to be 31's last night on Island Park, first one I've seen in Ottawa.

Either the Buick, or a red Dodge Intrepid. I know, I know, it's not a truck, I wouldn't notice a little car waving to me either.

[SuziCrazy]

That burning isn't from the Jeep thing, Chicken Fingers & Fries anyone? (Only ppl who go to the lounge will understand that) LoL

 

[Farm Boy]

I always hate the "You goin' Jeepin?" when I have a Toyota.
I can understand people too stupid to realize what a FJ40 is but phuleeze, it's a frickin pickup on my trailer. :banghead:

 

[Mitko]

LOL - They even wave to the FJ40 - :

Yea, remember that funny time

But my favourite one is: It is NOT a jeep thing, you wouldn't understand

Mine is Burgundy, close to red. But no that wasn't me. It's a rare occasion that either of my Jeeps make it into the city limits now. Man I love this country life (Except for the shoveling)

Came home from Christmas to shingles blown off the roof and a flood in the basement. Oh and got the water results and the water has bacteria! It's great!!

Welcome to the wonderful country life

Bacteria is easy to deal with, just need a jug of bleach. And get yourself a battery powered backup sump pump, it's worth the investment.

And if your house is near any agricultural fields you may want to get your water tested for pesticides, the one used on corn lasts for many years and can reach underground water sources. Let me know if you need details.

 

[JeepJen]

This bacteria is AFTER a jug of bleach has gone through the system. I shouldn't need to bleach it on a weekly basis.
I don't think there are any crop farms near us, there are 2 horses right in the back yard. I suggested to Ty that it might be the manure but he said with there only being 2 it's unlikely.
I did one more test today and we'll see those results. If it's the same I'm contacting the lawyer. Worth a shot seeing as we paid him a flat fee for any issues after the fact.

As far as the leak we would have been fine if the second sump pump was working. They had dug 2 separate holes and had 2 pumps, but just left dirt at the bottom. We put cement in the holes but the dirt had already damaged one of the pumps. We figured we had more time before we needed them. Guess we were wrong. We've since been able to repair the second so we'll be fine next time.

 

[Richard]

That's pretty bad for the well, only thing I can think of is an animal fell in the well.

I had 2 regular pumps then one burnt out due to the hose being clogged. We're not sure, but we think a mouse crawled in from outside and died in there, the water was 1/4" from the edge of the sump pit when I noticed. That's when I bought the battery backup one, that way I have some protection in case of a long power outage, and it sounds an alarm if it comes on telling me the primary pump isn't doing it's job.

 

[Buster]

I just have to continually point to the grill where is says SUZUKI (not Jeep)
