Sorry to hear about your loss Terrence. And you're right, it's my favorite time of year with football in full swing and Fall almost here. Looking forward to some cooler weather.

Is it bad that on a nice day like today all I want to do is be a bum on the couch?

Couch patrol

Being on the couch aint such a bad idea today! too hot and humid here in daytona to do anything.

I'm new here btw! hopefully i can get to know ya'll and get some good advice on havin fun with the truck here in FL.

Me and a group of guys from my school all run on ch. 21 on the CBs if any of you guys are in the Daytona area, feel free to drop in and see what we're up to.

Any body have a good day-long trail spot that won't get the bears all up in arms?

From: So Cal
Just moved from CA a little while back - little quieter here than the SoCal forum, but seem to be a good bunch of guys in the FL chapter.

Been spending a lot more time on the Hwy with the truck lately, started thinking about finally getting a CB for the truck if you've got any thoughts or experience to offer.

Also, just started working with a new shop recently (Won't plug them, since we're not sponsors yet) - but I'm doing CAD and running the waterjet table. I'm off on a couple weeks of military training, so I'll be playing catch-up when I get back, but I'd eventually want to build end tanks for a bigger inter-cooler along with whatever other bits we can come up with. Need to see if I can get work to sponsor a trip to RRE this year too.

I just installed my new cb and tuned it last week if you're looking for any advice on how to set it up I'd be happy to help!

and thats awesome with the CAD stuff. I use Catia for most of my stuff that gets made (aerospace), but you gotta love how you can make anything with those programs!

58 degrees this morning and a high of 82. Not a cloud in the sky for most of the day. Couldn't get any better today. Ahhhhh...... Paradise is wonderful.

Terrence, sorry about your Grandma and knee.

Get back on your feet and your knee will feel better. I had Knee surgery in Feb. Was up the next day and bowling 3 weeks later.

Good luck
