Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life, but define yourself. Harvey S. Firestone

The people with whom you work reflect your own attitude. If you are suspicious, unfriendly and condescending, you will find these unlovely traits echoed all about you. But if you are on your best behavior, you will bring out the best in persons with whom you are going to spend most of your waking hours.

Some people get spiritual because they see the light and some people get spiritual because they feel the heat!

How do you know if you're truly a servant? See how you react the next time someone treats you like one.

Transmission Removal Update

Rear driveline: Removed
Front driveline: Still intact (Need a 15 socket)
Crossmember support: Half the bolts out (Need a 15 socket)
Bell housing bolts: All still in (Need a 15 socket)
Transfer case shifter: Still attached (can't get to it because crossmember is in the way, can't remove crossmember without a 15 socket)
Muffler bracket: Still attached (Need a 15 socket)

We ran into a little snag. I just about have every tool imaginable at my disposal in multiple toolboxes, in the house, in the workroom closet, in my pickup toolbox and a few other toolboxes setting around here. For the life of me I can't find a Metric 15 socket. Called Papa up and he has just what I need. I will be stopping by there tomorrow to borrow a 15 socket. If you need to work on a 2000 Dodge Ram 4 wheel drive, make sure you have a few Metric 15 sockets available because your going to need it.
