Yep, I still own Ms Dent, or shall I say she owns me. I'm ratholing money back for parts for her and still contemplating the 33-14.5x16.5 Boggers on Weld Wheels a buddy has.

Winter horseshoes/washers. We did have horseshoe pits setup out in the field til a vendor backed over one of the pegs and dented his gas tank. We had to remove them then. They were close enough we could hear and get to the phone but obviously not far enough away to keep a city slicker from backing over them.

That is a way nicer/fancier version than what we play. The boards we use are 2x4 and 2x6 with a piece of plywood in between with a 3" hole in it. No problem if you forget ours on the sandbar. Them nice ones might be a bit bigger loss.

Pull like you mean it.

It's been awhile, but I don't remember my 91 Escort being all that difficult. Have you looked at a manual?

I bet the manual says to remove the axle and replace it. They're all based on a complete teardown and editing of the factory manual.

Alldata tends to be more on the money than them blamed Haynes and Chiltons manuals.

That'll be a good end to a busy day. A little shop therapy and Speed Channel on the shop TV.
It sounds like the net nanny is headed to the Ivory Tower tonight. I guess I'll find out Mon what I can & can not access.

From what I gather, the furriner in IT told somebody here it'll be back to normal once the Ivory Tower is online with Windstream. Looks like we'll hide and watch.

This is part of his e-mail from yesterday.

Most users should not see much change and hopefully the INTERNET will be a little faster. We got rid of WEBSENSE but WINDSTREAM will be doing this function (Web Filtering) on the INTERNET. Some sites we will not be able to open unless the Executives allow us to do so. If you cannot reach any needed sites please let IT know and we will try to resolve the situation

I think my customers will unlike us on Facebook and quit following us on Twitter. Several would chat me on Facebook for various stuff, not just to bs. It has actually made my work day easier since my coworkers don't have that distraction any more and customers have to email me and wonder if I'm on my computer.
