Man , I can hear those fiddles kicking in and if you want to play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band.

If you want to play in a SD, you want a V10 under the hood,
The 5.4 is gutless and the diesel is no good.
The V10 is the engine that gives the BSE grin,
This engine is the gasser, that will always win.
Chev and Dodge pickups don't really have a chance,
To try and outpull a V10, will kick you in the pants.
These V10 engines pull anything, without any strain,
No noise, no smell, no smoke, and you're not in any pain.
You saved 5 grand, and got something that is so much nicer,
Too bad the V10 has to sound just like a ricer..............yeeehaw.

So Wrench, how long did it take you to come up with that?

I'm way too far into the Michelob Ultra's...

At this point, I'm just tweaking people.

If there's one place I want to go before I die, it is Nashville. I love country music even though I can't carry a tune in a bucket.
My two kids are musical inclined and they both play Piano & band. My son has changed over to classical guitar and is taking lessons. Because of his piano background he is getting good fast. Man, the other day he was playing that old gem, Scarborough or Fair or whatever you call it by Simon and Garfunkel. Brought tears to his old man's eyes.

So big Orn, I have bought a Piano, a flute, an alto sax and 3 guitars for the Kids over the years, but You will have to tell this silly old Canadian what a swinette is.

Big Orn, that is hilarious and don't worry about the family site stuff. Listen to the way kids talk nowdays and the F word runs free and loose. If anyone is old enough to surf the web, he's old enough to find out what a swinette is and that sounds like an instrument that old Wrench could master . LOL thanks for the link.
