WOOOOO
I came back, just to give you guys the april chat thread






19 days, and i'll be 20

 

You were 6 minutes late.

Cool!
I just turned 18.

 

I just got back from riding the motorcycle in the warehouse district and Bourbon Street.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Bill.

 

Thats sounds fun.

Thanks!

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BILL!!!!!!

I want to go back to New Orleans >.>

 

Yeah, it was fun. They have a pirates convention going on there this weekend. There are some pretty authentic outfits worn there.

My friend drug us into one of the same sex bars. They were having a drag queen show. It was pretty funny and entertaining.

 

Thanks! Now I am just 7 points away from my third green bar.

I have never been there. Whats it like?
It won't let me rep you back.

 

No problem, I just got my 4th square the other day.

It is a lot of fun. Like anything though some of it is boring when you go there all the time. The food is the best. I have traveled several places in the U.S. and most dinners have no flavor. Not that other places food are not good. The food here is just different.

Jambalaya, for example. I grew up in the country around all the Cajuns. They make brown jambalaya. Here in the city, the creoles cook there version of it. Theirs is red jambalaya. It has a tomato base to it. You also can not find Boudoin or tasso out of state very easy. French bread po-boys are the best in New Orleans and Metairie. Take a hour drive to Baton Rouge and the french bread is completely different. Sauce piquant with squirrel or crawfish is really good. The seafood tastes so much better in La than anywhere else. But I am a little biased.



The times to be had here though are great. If you are a people watcher, this is the place to be.

I am outta here, 6 o'clock comes early.

 

Hope everyone has a great April fools day and a great holiday weekend!

 

Wait is this the April chat thread?

 

Yes, it's the Official April Chat Thread.

 

In that case heres some humor for april fools day!

 

Hahahahahahaahaha, rep for that!

I like the second one best.

 

lol

I went to the junkyard today and got an almost perfect cloth-covered bench seat for my truck today. It came out of an XLT Lariat Supercab, not sure what year (though it was fuel injected). There's some faded spots, but I can handle that. It's a hundred times more comfortable than the seat it replaced (worn out vinyl-covered seat....ripped all over lol), and now I don't have to worry about my seat becoming a skillet if I park in the sun. lol. I also got a very nice gauge cluster out of the same truck that includes a tach and a trip odometer-equipped speedometer. The needles are yellowish-orange, much better than the whitish needles I have now. lol. And to top it all off, I got a glovebox latch. My truck's original one broke years ago and I've had it rigged to stay shut since. But now it's fixed.

I paid $41 for the seat, gauges and latch. I'm hoping to go back and snag the AC compressor bracket and a few other odds and ends.

 

I love junk yards!
Have you ever tried to find rare parts, just to sell them on CL or Ebay for much more?
