Speaking of Tonka trucks, there's a place not far from here where there's dozens of Tonka trucks sitting on some shelves, outside, in a yard. I don't know a thing about them as to who's they are, why they're there, or anything else just saw them sitting there. I took a drive-by picture but I'm pretty sure I deleted it. 

However, I did find them on street view.

Well, I got it together, I made a couple scratches.  So I sprayed some of the yellow Krylon paint in the cap to do touch-ups with a brush.  This paint is so crappy. I sprayed 6 coats and it ran like water. Sure enough the paint was so watered down, when I dipped the brush it just dripped off and did not even stick to the brush..

after I assembled the Tonka Toy, I put new injectors in my 97 Tacoma 4x4...  Trying to find a hose, and gasket, and I broke a plastic vacuum thingy on the power steering system...

Yep. It is a vacuum valve on the power steering. I guess it raises the idle when steering, i assume sitting still, so that the engine doesnt stall. I may be able to insert a new nipple and fix it.  A new valve costs over $200.00.. ouch !
