Pittsburgh Dad is so funny! I work a lot down there, so I hear the skits all the time.

Glad to hear you made it safely to Indy, Bill.

Busy is the name of the game for sure. I have WAY too much going these next couple weeks. There is a light at the end of the tunnel though.

Hey Tom, any other input on this issues I am having? I cannot even log in sometimes. It'll take 3-4 tries before it will let me in. I am not sure at this point if its my computer. Other forums seem to be working ok. Of course, this is the one i am on the most.

I have adblock enabled and all updates in my Windows have been done. I am at a loss. It does it in Explorer and Mozilla. Sorry to keep buggin' ya. Thanks

That'd be a good idea if I didn't already have it torn down, lol. That's not good to hear about the oil cooler. At least now I have a shop with a wood stove so working on it in the cold isn't a problem anymore. I can easily get it to 80° in there!

Well, that's good you have a wood stove now Phil. It won't be so bad then if you have to work on it when its cold outside!

I think shes the leader of Deprived Women of Ford Truck Enthusiasts lol!!!

(this was the discussion of the ladies while Kevins truck was getting re-seated IIRC lol)

On a side note, since everyone else seems to have mounting projects, Ill post mine up to fit in lol. Got my shackle hanger today finally, so the Stroker "should" be roadworthy this weekend. Got a quote on how much itll be to fix the rust on the bed on my Harley F-250: $100. I didn't think that was too shabby. I think its the main reason people tend to shy away from it. And the guzzler of a V10 lol.

And to make Aaron jealous: also gonna start cleaning up the 5er for a camping trip scheduled for the 3rd weekend in October

Hopefully some of you fellers will get some knuckles busted this weekend too!

Evening fellas.

No knuckle busting here, yet. Just having fun watching tough trucks, monster trucks, and checking out the wide range of rides here in Indy. Having a blast - but I know it's going quickly because I was already figuring out the "exit route" for Sunday
