Zack, years ago I used to have a problem with alcoholic beverages, so I have heard several speeches pertaining to the consumption of such. If I make it to X-mas day, I'll be sober 22 years.

We all have our vices...mine is ice cream...and with a couple new favors at Braums (OKC metro based dairy chain) and $1.99 double dip waffle cones....I'm having a hard time staying out of the store 3/4 mile from my house, or the one 1/2 mile from work. But in all seriousness, congratulation on this many years.

Mine's gadgets and tinkering computers.. or more specifically computer parts..
You name it, theres probably one partially disassembled in my house somewhere.. right now I'm working on a 32" TV that someone gave me, I counted something like 50 capacitors inside that were bad, I'm about 20 into it at the moment.
Nice thing about cheap Chinese electronics, the solder seems to flow really, really easy. I'm guessing that probably means there's a ton of lead in it.

Morning everyone, looks like Mr. Mom duties today...catching up on the dirty dishes & laundry.
And your toys don't get upset if you take a different one for a spin each time. Funny thing about women, they don't like to share.
Lead poisoning is way over rated. You remind me of my ex brother-in-law (his ex is my wife's sister)...when those huge console TV were falling out of favor he had ended up with 2 or 3 in the house.
Going back to the vices...the only thing I drink is Coke Zero/Diet Dr. Pepper when I'm trying to be a "good boy" in the eyes of my wife the nurse. If I'm feeling frisky I'll go for a Barq's. Ice Cream...pretty much any time of year is good with me...and red meat. I figure this body is going to die someday...no matter what; mine as well enjoy all those little "sins" out there.

Here is the conclusion for alcohol and the male according to a study by the New England Journal of Medicine!
conclusions
Among men, consumption of alcohol at least three to four days per week was inversely
associated with the risk of myocardial infarction. Neither the type of beverage nor the
proportion consumed with meals substantially altered this association. Men who increased
their alcohol consumption by a moderate amount during follow-up had a decreased
risk of myocardial infarction.
Roles of Drinking Pattern and Type of Alcohol
Consumed in Coronary Heart Disease in Men
So men, drink in moderation and have less of a chance for a heart attack!

Something out of the 6.0L forum for those of us that drive "oil burners"...and I'm not talking about motor oil.

Hey, I'm on Goggle Earth! If you search for Vince's Vintage Vehicles in Fox, AR, it'll locate the business, zoom in on it and bring up a ballon with the address and a couple of pics. Unfortunatly, the trucks I'm working on in those pics are a '29 International and a '52 GMC. If you zoom in on the street view a bit, my white '61 is backed in next to the building closest to the road. There's a big Bronco there too that belonged to a coworker(before he put it into a ditch).
