Popped the hood, checked the oil and fluids, Visualized a V-8 under there, closed the hood and went and got a turkey sandwich.

cleaned the interior, reset my radio presets cause i got a new battery, and stared at it for a few seconds and realized how happy i am with it even though i want to do plenty with it. thats one thing i love about my truck, even though i want to change it so bad im always perfectly content with it.

Attempted to clean the mud off of it, and failed epically.

There was literally 1" worth of mud covering the entire truck, i bet that car wash dude was pissed when I drove away out of the stall and the entire stall was covered in mud. haha.

put it in the garage, let it sit there for a while, then took it to work, watched it sit in the parking lot getting rained on, then drove it home and had a little fun in the puddles and wet roads!

Had to jump it because I drained the battery, so I let it idle and now starts fine. Then put it back in the garage out of the rain. Although she does look good all wet...

I shined it up. Went to Summit Racing and picked up a bodylift (still debating on whether or not to install it) came home. checked my fluids and checked the tires PSI.
