What the trunk!
This is just a quick snippet on an experience I had yesterday with the trunk. My next project is to weather seal, insulate, and carpet the trunk. So my new trunk seals came in yesterday and I promptly installed one on the body and one on the lid. Makes sense right? So after the new pretty seals are on I try to shut the truck. Attempt #1: the lid bounces back up at me. Attempt #2: same as #1. Attempt #3: SUCCESS; with quite a bit more force I might add. Happy with those results I decide to start laying the moist-stop layer to the floor of the trunk. Only one problem: the trunk won't open. Yes, it was unlocked and the latch was not engaged but still she was tightly "sealed". I tugged and tugged and nothing. I even stood on the bumper and lifted with all my might. Nothing. Turns out you're not suppose to have both seals on, just one or the other. After I slammed it shut the third time the two seals meshed together and jammed the lid tight. I had to use a screw driver inbetween the lid and the body to very carefully push the seal off. Eventually the lid popped open. Lesson learned.

Keep your head up Mike. You're still Baby Jesus's little sunbeam.
So stinkin' funny... too much of a good thing, I guess.
What the trunk! Oh, I laughed about that for hours! ;) Ok, not really, but I did chuckle! Hey, sorry to hear the kids at your church aren't as smart as the kids I teach...I guess it just goes to show who the smarter teacher is! ;) That would me, in case you're wondering! I also see that you have started sending messages to yourself and I'm very concerned Mike! Have you thought about seeing a doctor? I know one if you're interested! ;)
