Hey Jake! Nothing to special tonight. This weekend I guess we will have to wait and see!

That is funny Jay! I was just thinking you were really smart but it turned out to be just a guess! haha

Good morning Jake!

I should probably chime in that the rotors you are talking about Jay are sitting in the shed gathering dust as we speak. If you need them let me know.

Actually when I ordered my Powerslots they sent me two sets. I let them know and they never got back to me so I gave them away to someone I "thought" was needy. Turns out they really weren't but what can you do then?

I will let you know if I need to borrow yours again Lee.

And on the broken axle. I figured if one was going to break it would be a Polaris. So only kind of a guess.

Sounds a decent night though, both of you guys! I will not be doing any liquid celebration tonight. I'm not too into it, but my buddies have been at it since before their 8 am classes.... I get to put up with them... That's enough excitement for me!

Good evening guys.

UGH, what a long day..........
Was up most of the night with a fever, first I could get warm then I couldn't cool off, went on all night. Ended up waking up at least once an hour and staying awake for at least 10 minutes each time.

Had a pretty good day (Wednesday) Went to the FIL's and serviced the skid loader oil and filter changes and dropped the bellypan to get all the crap out of there. 2 bolts fell out and allowed all kinds of stuff in to the belly, sticks, rocks, mud, etc. Figured it was a good idea to get it out of there before something poked or wore a hole in the oil pan or fuel tank.

Whoa, whoa! Hold on now. That thing has been to hell and back and is ready for more (except the axle). Its hard to believe that is all that that is wrong. I happen to be a Polaris guy, yep thats right when I buy a snowmobile its gonna be a Polaris.

I won't be on here later (or for the next 60 nights for that matter). The wife has me doing an Insanity workout video with her (I think she is trying to kill me). I must be insane to do it. I just wanna fall over and die while we are working out and feel even worse the next day. Why do people do these things!? Better yet, why am I doing this!? Well she will be home soon and thats when the pain starts. Later, if I survive the next few days.

Hey Mike!! Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. Hope you feel better and get some sleep tonight. Sounds like you had a good day yesterday and got out of the house also!

Hey Cory! Yeah the reason they are so high is because everybody knows how good these trucks are with the 7.3 in them! That is a nice truck you found there in SD! Roadtrip!!

Heh, my bad. I got swamped at work. The excrement hits the whirling blades every once in a while.

Ended up getting my windows re-tinted. I should have gone darker when I did them the first time. Oh well. Also got a stock intake on the truck.


What did I miss around this place?
