I can't stand running either. I got that one on clearance at the end of the year in 07, put it on layaway for months before it was finally paid.

we had some issues with those crap *** shocks. when they are working and set right they ride beautifully, but there is way too much upkeep and parts are very unavailable. i am running elkas and my brother is running a resprung stock can-am setup, i think.

monson got hit and according to my coworker our jobsite did in east longmeadow as well. i hope the drill rig is still shiney side up when we get there tomorrow.

we got the official date today, wife goes to quantico july 16th.

also, to make this post longer....we got word from dynamic on rays transmission. basically all the bands and clutches are SMOKED. putting a "seasoned" baja racing tranny in a heavier truck with more traction probably was the straw that broke the camels back.

Baseball bat > Police

Little ****ers wouldn't be walking, riding, wiping their *** after I got through with their limbs.

That is about as good as it gets as far as I am concerned. Unfortunately I will be working, and then taking my EMT class written test. Just finished writing my "paper" now.
