A bump, just to get this thread up near the top of the stack again. It had dropped to number seven, NOT including the stickies, when I wrote this.

C'mon, guys, we're slipping!

What kind of engine stand does that Cummins need?

Something braced with railroad track?

That is a funny video. She has 15 kids and expects others to pay? That is hilarious. Nobody forced her to have 15 kids.

Now about that Cummins, will it fit into a Ford Ranger?

Any weekend that involves a sweep of the Giants is a good weekend.

They are only 1.5 games out. I would not rule them out just yet.

Oliver has a 1 inch thick body frame, ought to hold up ok. I heard the original engine cranked out 90hp, a souped up 8.3l will easily go 900hp. Apparently after that the factory transmission gives up. Pretty good 10x safety factor by the Oliver engineers.

In Lourdes, IA (church and bar, what more does a man need?)

Sorry man...but I knew that would draw you out to say hello

Injuries aren't helping them at all. The NL West race is still far from over. Unless you're a Diamondback, Rocky or Padre.

Afternoon guys, figured that I would head out this way to see if there is any sun shine today. Been dealing with several inches of rain today and the temps are in the low 60's here in western NY
