    The ORW is not talking to me...

    ...somebody told her I drove a jeep for two days.

    She's pissed!

    Gonna have to buy her new shoes, probably a new outfit and no doubt ....

    ....some elective surgery to her rear end .... just to placate her !


    Right now she's pushing me around town in 2wd...the rear 4:77 third is a mess...

    ...blown bearing, chipped gears...general destruction

    Will start looking for 'the cure' next week....
