Goooood morning everyone! Got us a beautiful day down here in Vegas, dry and hot...finally. So, what kind of crazy world do we live in? Guys peeing on girls on airplanes, Barney Franks farting on tv, and now they have to bring down a beautiful new tower that's not even done down here in Vegas, whew....what a mess....

Bruce - It seems this way as of late. I've posted up a few things here (including an issue about my A/C unit on my F150) and they have been completely passed by without a mention. It's like most don't even read the former posts any more and just say good morning or hi and that's it.

I truly figured I was put on ignore by a bunch of people or something because I really haven't gotten a response by anyone except for Donna as of late. Not that I don't appreciate her responding, I do, but figured others would as well.

Oh well, I guess it is what it is.

I do hope everyone is having a good day.

Rocketmonkey - Ya, it's pretty messed up here in Vegas. What tower did they bring down? I must have missed that one, but then again, I don't ever watch the news at all and never go down to the Strip unless I absolutely have to.

Goodafternoon guys!

It's been reallys low around here lately on the board.
Sorry if I haven't been as posty?(that's not the word I was looking for, but it'll do)

Rocket monkey - I didn't hear about any of those things. Are they on the internet too? I rarely watch t.v., so I guess I'm not up to date on the happenings...sorry!

R1Demon - thanks for the compliment. I wish our lil' board was more active too! As you know, we have our few regulars, but it seems that our visitors are what keeps our lil' board alive. (thanks Tim, Steve, & Scott)

Bruce - Hey buddy...How's it going up there? I called Tim to see if he was OK due to the fire. He's not even close to it! I guess my directions are screwed up. I just knew the fire is South of Gardnerville. LOL!

They haven't actually imploded it yet, just got the okay from the city council. It's the Harmon Tower built by Perini. So, you have to ask yourself, can a company, even one the size of Perini survive such an ordeal? I do have a question for all of you.....has anyone else noticed the quality of our fuel going down? I used to run regular in PeeWee (the B2500), but now it's actually rattling a bit, and idles a bit rough. I put premium in it, and it ran smooth as glass. Seems odd. Maybe the poor little thing just needs some plugs....

I think that's a great question!
I agree w/ you! I've noticed it as well, & my vehicles run like crap too! If I can't afford the good stuff, I use regular unleaded & put an additive in to help.
