But then again, most kids are perfect angels for everyone but thier parents. Do you enforce being quiet while your driving or do they have no respect for you on the bus?

Mornin' all and Happy Tuesday!
Ya, I think I got a good deal. It looks really nice now that it's together. However, I'm still trying to work out where and how I'm going to put the overflow in and have the tank drilled. Decisions, decisions. LOL There are different types of setups that can be done. The one I'd really like to do, because it's the quietest and skims the most amount of water, takes up a bunch of space in the tank...well, if done the way I want to do it. There is another way to do it, but not sure I want to go that route.
Ultimately, it can make my 18" deep tank go down to just 12" deep if I do it the way I want. That means you don't get much room to put rock in there and build it up. However, I just asked the actual designer/inventor of the system on what's the minimum amount of space I need for that type of setup. If I can get away with 4", then that would leave me with 14" of display depth and that wouldn't be too bad to build around.

Good evening everyone. I have the ZF5 transmission and the transfer case in my truck. However, my research was incorrect. I need to find a trans crossmember, front driveshaft, and front half of rear driveshaft with slip yoke for a 1996 F250 extended cab. And the nearest salvage yard is 120 miles away

I don't know how the bus drivers deal with the kids distracting them while they drive. Between talking/laughing, moving from seat to seat or standing up while the bus is moving, not to mention the fights on the bus....I feel sorry for them!

Goodmorning guys.
Hope your Wednesday is going great!
I really gotta figure out how to slow some of these drivers on my street down. Granted I live in a Industrial area, but really? Everyone pretty much does 35mph in a 25mph, but I'm talking about the idiots in their lil' Honda racers, semi trucks, & especially the ones on their ninja motorcycles doing about 60-70mph! I swear these people think this is a 1/4 mile drag strip!
I tried to take a picture of the Honda racer yesterday, but he saw what I was going to do & took off from the stop sign (sideways I might add) & sped past before I could focus the camera on him. The Ninja guy (riding in shorts)...well, I don't expect to get a picture of him until he crashes, so I don't know what to do there other than motion for him to slow down. Hmm... maybe if I park Olfthfl outside the fence next to the street & open the door all of the sudden?!
I mean this is ridiculous! My kids can't even play outside at the bus stop before or after business hours anymore.
Where's the cops when you need them? On shift-change that's where! These guys know they can get away w/ it too because by the time the cops get here, they're already at work. The cops need to witness it for themselves to be able to do anything about it. GRR!!!

Ya think? I'm just waiting. One of these days I'm going to watch this guy go down & I'm going to be 1st on scene, calling 911 & describing all the blood, guts, & body parts in the road.
