Squirrel in my Truck?

 Saw this squirrel munching on something. The thought came in my mind that this damn squirrel may be nesting in my truck. Now what the hell am I going to do? Guess I’ll search YouTube on what to do.

Repaired Roof and Windows

 This fall, I finally got around to having the roof repainted and passenger side electric windows repaired. 

Restoration of Headlights: 9 Month Update

After having sat out in the sunshine, wind, rain, freezing temperatures, my 2004, F-150 headlights developed a caked on a layer of oxidation.  I had to either replace my headlights or restore them. I tried using hacks I had seen on YouTube. Oxidation came right back in a few weeks. I bought a kit from and followed the instructions and the oxidation came right back. 

I was watching a live stream from Griot’s Garage Griotsgarage.com . They teamed up with the manufacturer of coating company Cerakote. Here’s the link to the product. Ceramic headlight restoration kit   This company is a leader in weather resistant ceramic coating on military systems and many consumer products. After they showed the steps on how to restore an oxidized headlight, I was skeptical. Me: “That looks too good to be true.” I commented on the video, describing the failed attempts and that I was going to just buy new headlights. They read the comment live and said they would send me a kit for me to try. Well, it arrived as promised. The winter weather and family responsibilities caused me to have to wait. Yesterday, it was 50° and windy, but the sunny. I jumped outside, setup my iPhone and followed the directions. 

Took about 45 minutes. I can not be more impressed with how it worked. I will post videos when they are uploaded to Google Photos. 

9 Month Update:

I’m going to need to do the process again! The lenses have looked really clear until recently. I am going to buy a non severe or regular kit instead. I want to see how long this lasts. I may go ahead and replace the headlights and apply a ceramic coating on them. Not sure what to try next. I’ll post images when it stops raining hopefully tomorrow.
