There's a decent chance of that happening John. I do need to find a place that has a good selection of Pin Stripe, and the vent shades I want.

Unk Bob

*****, sorry to hear about the family man. Give a holler if you need anything.

Larry, You passed the physical right???

Bob, the Michelin LTX M\S are probably my number 1 favorite tire to run, when I can afford them. It's probably what Lucille will get when it's time to replace

Oh and I'm still thinking of hitting that junkyard up on Saturday morning. Though I really should spend it cutting grass and weed eating.

That's exactly what I'm having put on Shari's car tomorrow, and a 4 wheel alignment.

Good morning gents, havent had much time to post lately.. Summer time is stupid busy for me at work, family and all the million little things that happen in life..lol
hope all is well and everyone is enjoying their summer.. Damn, its been a hot one this year. Been doing a lot of hiking, exploring ad swimming in the smokies, dupont and pisgah mountains with my little one over the summer.
Shes a huge adventurer and about two weeks ago, we were at a waterfall and were jumping off some rocks and all was good until about my 4th jump and slipped and hit the water on my side from about a 30-35 ft deep jump and impact broke a rib and bruised another almost cracking it. I need to start acting like the old man that i am..haha broken ribs suck no matter what age but when you get older, its a whole new level of pain and discomfort..lol

Hey John, good to see you around here. Sounds like y'all have had a nice summer so far.
Back from the muffler shop here in town. And I snagged my pin stripe, and vent shades for the 2013. Those will go after I finish feeding my neck of left over ribs I smoked yesterday

The summer has been very nice although we did have a 2 week period of steady rain which started the feelings of a summer wash out. It's been hotter here than usual and more humid too. Finally getting some normal temps today..sounds like you are getting your list taken care of..

Yea I passed it, just don't like doctors. And since NC decided to crack down on it, my doctor hasn't gone to get the extra training to do the DOT physical so I have to go to the "Quick ER care" to get it done. That's a adventure in its own.

For anyone that uses Google Chrome on your phone to view FTE, do yall ever have issues with random stuff popping up?

Everytime I come here at minimum I will get a "you're today's lucky winner" or a "your Samsung device has been chosen" sometimes it will go with a "your device has 3 viruses, download this anti virus"

Sometimes I get all 3, sometimes it will be only one. But this is the only website it happens with. And I can't just hit back and get away from it, I've got to completely close out of the browser and start over.
