Glad to hear the back is doing better.

No. My stomach doesn't like ibuprofen anymore. My reflux gets really bad if I take more than one or two doses. I did Naproxen and Ibuprofen long term for plantar fasciitis a few years ago. I tolerated it fine then but not anymore. I wake up with really bad reflux now.

Iced it tonight. Still really sore. I doubt it'll come to surgery as long as I do the routine that I'm supposed to.

Night everyone.

Is anyone else having an issue with tags? It won't let meadd one. It says the maximum has been reached and I'm not allowed to edit any existing ones. I swear we've had more tags than this.

Good morning MN and good night Tom.

That's ok don't stay up on account of me.

I had an opportunity to sled last night but had the kids alone so had to pass, DANG! I bet that would have been the last ride. Oh well, there is always next year.....right? You guys that own sleds year after year, we do get to ride them in the winter?

Have fun on your vacation Mike. I can't wait to get one myself. Never been to Dells but heard it was pretty cool. Good place for the kiddos.

Well time to make the donuts.

You guys were going by the break down on the puter right? How could it be a bad bearing already? Possible I guess. Let's blame Jay.

That sucks Dave, but if you want help let me know.

LMAO If your bought a diesel and your worried about the price of diesel or hw to squeeze .5 more mpg maybe you should be driving a PRIUS. BLAH BLAH BLAH.....I read 3-4 threads last night on mpg, what a pile. Not bashing you at all Dustin....OK maybe a little, LOL

Dustin That was a great thing to do for the lady in the Military.........It will mean a lot to her......

Hello all whats going on.....
Thanks. It completely made my day yesterday. Still a little giddy about it today.

Ive always been mpg concious. Why pay for fuel if you dont have to?

Depends on cost. If you can save enough fuel in 1 year to pay for the mod, its prolly worth it IMO.

Troy look forward to seeing the boat and I can go with on the test drive, after all I am a fish and I do have whistle power, LOL
Hes looking for someone to row. Besides whistling would hurt his ears after awhile

Good morning Cory, Dave, Jim, Dustin and everyone else stopping by!

Enjoy your donuts Cory!

It is nice to get all the mileage you can but I am driving around a 8lb truck that is made to pull not for mileage and I didn't buy it to be a mileage getter.

I believe that's how it works owning a snowmobile. Couldn't tell you for sure though.
