Confessions of a pagan farmer

I took my truck to the shop and they put it up on the lift to see how they were gong to fix the disconnected tailpipe....   Uh....  New muffler, new tailpipe, new rear shocks, new front brakes.  $700.  It may only have 83,000 miles on it, but it *is* 11.5 years old and the road salt is taking it's toll.  They will have it fixed by the end of tomorrow, which is necessary, since I need it on Sunday to move pigs.  I really like my local mechanic, almost as much as I like my truck.
