New Blog/Truck Excitement

So - at the encouragement of a friend of mine, I am starting this blog as a way to share random stories of my supposedly less than normal life. However, in order for myself to get some personal use out of this thing, I'll also be posting non story related items for my personal reference and as a fun byproduct, your enjoyment, and if you don't enjoy it, that's really too bad.
 
As follows, here is a picture of my 'new to me' truck. Purchased about a week ago for the princely sum of $1400, I now have about $500 into it, not including registration. Sadly, right now $100 of parts are purchased, but installed due to a bunch of pain in the ass rusty bolts that are refusing to come out. As a result, I got to spend some $$$ on tools this weekend to try persuade those bolts to remove themselves. I'm out of commission this week while I wait for some stitches in my back to heal, but soon enough I'll be back to physical labor.
 
Periodically I plan on posting some how to's or walkthroughs of various repairs, partially for my reference and partially just because.  For now, here is a lovely camera phone picture of ol' rusty.

What stitches in your back!? You didn't tell me about them. Share your medical problems with the world Hunter!

Well you see, I got knifed, I do live in a rough neighborhood after all.
