Yet another reason I'm glad I don't drink.

Now if they jack up the tax on Mtn Dew or Pepsi I'm totally screwed...

kyle, think about a price and shoot me a PM. i shouldnt be spending money on a bike, because that will delay the quad getting together, but i need to start riding again to get back in shape for the quad so its like a catch 23 situation.

This morning started on the roof again.

Took a break to go to CT Smoker's Meet & Great at his shop in Preston called Diesel Shop on Route 2. Nice area and shop for an all truck all diesel shop. They are just starting out so they need to equip the shop and that is coming, I'm sure. Fred, Jeff & Alis (sorry for the spelling) are real nice. They seem to understand diesels very well and are quite familiar with the aftermarket equipment. I'm looking forward to watching them grow their business.

It was fun to watch a 13 year old drive daddy's truck through the mud pit. There was an old Model A or T or something like that. Very nice too, not restored for show, but getting their little by little.

There was also a lot of trucks, but mostly Fords. Some GMs, some Dodges too with large stacks and intercoolers ad such.

Oh, yah, there was another 13 year old (just kidding) driving a Cherokee through the mud pit too with Interco Swampers. He was having fun too.

Fred and I found the diesel leak on my engine. It's the sensor that lights the check fuel filter light. Leaking right out the electrical connection. Odd!!! A cheap fix. Fred offered his used sensor, but it was at home, not at the shop.

Came home, back on the roof and at 5pm my beeper goes off. Damn. Close call, I didn't have to go to work this time, handled it over the phone for now!!!

Rich, I would of loved to have taken my truck through that mud pit, but with half of one bed side being busted now, I think I'm done wheeling until I get back from the road trip

Aaron, PM sent!

Still haven't seen them in concert, seen the other major metal bands though, sabbath, judas priest, maiden, motorhead, slayer, anthrax, would definitely like to check metallica off the list! Have you ever seen 'em?

I am presently at Foxwoods with my brother waiting to see Jim Gaffigan, one of our favorite 'cleaner' comedians. We had dinner with Lisa at Village Green Pizza on the way

Hope you enjoy the show, he is a good comedian. Thats the one good thing about this area, between both casinos, new haven, providence, hartford, nyc and boston, you can piratically see any performer you can think of.
