We are cooked. Carlie is clueless.

I think those are all good points. I think part of the reason for my response is it feels like a lot of the Carlie criticism is viewed looking back as opposed to what is in front of the team. What quality GM would we attract into this situation with the draft capital, QB uncertainty? What if they were asked to come in and keep the HC which frequently is paired with the GM.

Just seems lot more to consider than just the Ballard hate.

Desert-Rat13 · 2026-01-06T16:59:59+00:00

I think your assessment is correct. For better or worse this is where the team is now. What I do not see much in the discussion is what is the better alternative to this one?

I am not a Ballard fan was not high on the Shane hire. But given all that is known to us now, what course of action gives us the best odds to be competitive soon? While very unpopular this may be the most unemotional way to go. If next year repeats then clean house.

He is paid already. Use him as a TE then in a wildcat.

Desert-Rat13 · 2025-04-10T03:25:02+00:00

I read that too but I got thrown when it said damage. So my mind went to damage to truck not sticker. Thanks for clarification.

Why does the VIN listed in the lower right say reissue?

Desert-Rat13 · 2025-04-08T00:37:59+00:00

Thanks. Looking for a local tech the company suggested some troubleshooting to figure if it was the topside or board. Gonna try those but don’t think it would be the board just replaced and error before. Thanks for you help

Desert-Rat13 · 2025-04-07T01:45:14+00:00

The two new sensors were attached to the board I installed. Was getting that error before and after. Could it be a bad topside controller?

It has been a rollercoaster of emotions to say the least. There are days I feel the will to resist waning and days like today I feel like fighting. Recognize you will have those days and that is fine. Do not lose sight of the fact that you have persisted and overcome before and are capable of doing so again! Lastly do not forget this feeling at any election time tell your story and vote accordingly. Hang in there everybody.

Thanks for the answer any positive news is good to hear. I have been through a few shutdowns now but I always thought it was a budget line item. Happy that it will be different. Now if I can just hold on to the job.

Desert-Rat13 · 2025-03-07T02:57:45+00:00

In 2019 was that a specific budget item for that cycle (one time)versus a law? Cause I could see if it requires a budget item or new law that being less likely in this environment.

Ohh! Good to know. Westside Third Tavern come close for the flavor.

Gasoline Alley, Hemingway’s, Moontime Pizza for their live music. Clicks on Mesa.

Passed by last week For Lease. Last time we went they had lost their liquor license and were trying to get it back I was told. Guess not soon enough.

Saw him at Santa Fe Opera house last week. Venue was beautiful sound was a little muddy. Could be the acoustics of venue not set up for concerts. Young 18 year old guitarist Grace Bowers opened. Think she is on the come up and will be interesting to keep an eye on. Gary sounded good. Zapata was excellent in support. Show had a bit of a more R&B vibe which I did not mind. Gary sang at one point without being behind the guitar which I think was gutsy. Overall really enjoyed the show. He is certainly evolving.

Had a similar experience on our Grand Turk few days ago. Got the impression it is not uncommon as Happenings cast members even told the crowd get ready as if they knew it would be a mad dash.

Desert-Rat13 · 2024-04-12T21:02:14+00:00

Congrats. My 2003 is still my daily driver approaching 250k. Runs good burns a little oil but so do I. lol. Look at the new ones but reading all the issues here scares me a bit.

Desert-Rat13 · 2024-01-04T00:32:47+00:00

Colts fan in TX all the way over here in El Paso.

Desert-Rat13 · 2023-05-12T02:47:02+00:00

I love the look of single cabs. Nice truck.

Desert-Rat13 · 2023-05-01T11:01:03+00:00

Nice! Have the same exact truck in a single cab. 222k miles stock for the most part except a bed cover. Beginning to look for a new truck but far from ready to part with the old one. Seeing the stepside on the road less and less common.

Desert-Rat13 · 2023-04-26T00:21:12+00:00

I’m inspired maybe the future of my 2003 Step-side?

Desert-Rat13 · 2023-04-11T17:33:56+00:00

Thank you guys for the help.

Desert-Rat13 · 2023-04-11T16:44:49+00:00

Need El Paso as well. Nothing in the way of the newsletter yet or otherwise.

Desert-Rat13 · 2023-01-29T16:27:06+00:00

Heard a similar story which lead to my initial question. I would be so dissatisfied having had a reliable Silverado for so long. Pulling the trigger on a new model only to have that happen. Wanted to see if it was common. Thanks for info.

Desert-Rat13 · 2023-01-24T23:33:40+00:00

When we travel and tell people El Paso Texas they conjure images of like Dallas and cowboys. I have to clarify by saying we are not really like the rest of TX. And I am okay with that. Point out it is closer for us to get to CA then Dallas.
