Sounds good to me. BY the way I drink so much that when we buy a six pack of beer I end up using half of it for cooking cause it gets old.

I hear you there whitebenz. Just slow cooked all day a pork shoulder roast in homemade brew (barley wine). Turned out great. Pulled the meat apart, froze half and made the rest into enchiladas last night for dinner.

Yes it is 4:50 AM here on board Bonga in the Bight of Benin with the dust from the Sahara settling all over everything. It's just another lovely day in paradise.

Just had a fun drive in my truck, all the way to Vancouver and back. 4:10 gears, automatic transmission, 300-6 and 80+mph is not a fun combination.
On the plus side, I can floor my truck for a little over two hours and not have it blow. It still has that stupid piston-slap rattle sound, it sounded like a diesel the whole way there and back.

I hear ya I just had the o/drive go south in the cougar and this morning had to make a mad dash to rochester at break neck speeds (we thought it was an emergency, it wasn't) I was passing everything in site and had it tached out. I don't like that sound for thirty miles let alone for as far as you had to go. Did make great time though.

About a year ago I got one on my wife who has never made me sleep on the couch.

I had been dealing with some garbage that her parents had been doing and had had enough. So I went to the closet and got sheets and a blanket to put on the couch and the wife asked what I was doing, I told her we had something to discuss and that she would not like it. Every time she started getting closed minded I would return to making my bed on the couch. Worked pretty well to get my point accross. Only problem is with her it will never work again.
