Silverado Part Deux

 Well, while I REALLY REALLY liked my 1500 WT model, I felt like I made a mistake because it really wasn't the level at which I wanted the truck to be at.  So I made the decision, with my wife's permission, to go back to the dealer, trade in my 1500 and move up to a 2500 HD with 4WD.

So the NEW new truck is a 2500 Custom with the 6.6L L8T gas engine, 4WD, 20 inch wheels...  it is a beast, if I am honest.  Part of the deal was that they would install running boards, but that has to wait until next week when they get the parts in and can schedule service time.  Meanwhile getting into her is like climbing Mount Everest.  This truck is so tall that the HOOD is above my shoulder level, and I am a 6 foot, half inch tall man.

We are also starting to look at campers and trying to figure out how to make that work and for Sandi and I to be able to wander off for days at a time (with the dogs).

Diablo IV ...

 OK.  I am terrible at this game.

I've beaten Diablo III a number of times at varied difficulties.  It is to the point that I can fire up any character and beat Diablo then go on to beat the angel of death.

I CANNOT beat a SINGLE (mid-level or above) Boss character in Diablo IV.  I can beat some of the early on ones but as soon as I get a decent level, say 20 or so, I am doomed.  You get locked in some little room with nowhere to go, and you just cannot take the bosses life, and the longer you go the more offensive attacks it hurls at you.  I've died about 5 times now trying to beat just a mid-level boss.

Starting to not WANT to play the game.

Silverado

 LED lights are in, but I am not super-confident of the fit for the guard... but time will tell.  Got my arm stuck on the driver side headlight.  :D  The windshield washer reservoir took up a lot of space, making it hard to get in there.

I ordered a flush guard for the hood, looking forward to getting that.  Still looking at running boards.
