Hey Paul,
Look again your not that far away from me and it's getting really windy here.
Typical though, talk about the weather and it changes.
I was working on my bench yesterday so I guess I have to mess with that for a while.
Clean the truck, already did the inside so where do I start on the outside?

Hi Ken

Hi Ken
I gotta clean the outside of mine BAD, It is wicked dirty and I hate that. Guess I'm gonna freeze out there though, I still have all those parts I got from my cousin in the truck and I gotta get them out too. I am so looking forward to next weekend, I just wish it was going to be a little warmer though.

Ok, but if you change your mind the offer is still open.

Drafting Guys over 60----this is so funny & obviously written by a former soldier.



Git "R" Done!!!!!!!!!


New Direction for the war on terrorists.


"Send Prior Service Vets over 60 "


I am over 60 and the Armed Forces thinks I'm too old to track down terrorists. (You can't be older than 42 to join the military.)

They've got the whole thing backwards. Instead of sending 18-year-olds off to fight, they ought to take us old guys. You shouldn't be able to join a military unit until you're at least 35.

For starters:


Researchers say 18-year-olds think about sex every 10 seconds. Old guys only think about sex a couple of times a day, leaving us more than 28,000 additional seconds per day to concentrate on the enemy.

Young guys ha ven't lived long enough to be cranky, and a cranky soldier is a dangerous soldier. "My back hurts! I can't sleep, I'm tired and hungry!" We are impatient and maybe letting us kill some idiot that desperately deserves it will make us feel better and shut us up for a while.




An 18-year-old doesn't even like to get up before 10 a.m.




Old guys always get up early to pee so what the hell. Besides, like I said, "I'm tired and can't sleep and since I'm already up, I may as well be up killing some fanatical son-of-a-bitch.


If captured we couldn't spill the beans because we'd forget where we put them. In fact, name, rank, and serial number would be a real brainteaser.



Boot camp would be easier for old guys. We're used to getting screamed and yelled at and we like soft food. We've also developed an appreciation for guns. We've been using them for years as an excuse to get out of the house, away from the screaming and yelling.



They could lighten up on the obstacle course however. I've been in combat and didn't see a single 20-foot wall with rope hanging over the side, nor did I ever do any pushups after completing basic training. I can hear the Drill Sgt. now, "Get down and give me ... er ... one."



Actually, the running part is kind of a waste of energy, too.
I've never seen anyone outrun a bullet.




An 18-year-old has the whole world ahead of him. He's still learning to shave, to start up a conversation with a pretty girl. He still hasn't figured out that a baseball cap has a brim to shade his eyes, not the back of his head. These are all great reasons to keep our kids at home to learn a little more about life before sending them off into harm's way.





Let us old guys track down those dirty rotten cowards who attacked us on September 11. The last thing an enemy would want to see right now is a couple of million pissed off old farts with attitudes and automatic weapons who know that their best years are already behind them.



If nothing else, put us on the border and we will have it secured the first night.

Share this with your senior friends. It's purposely in big type so you can read it.




,,,when the Power of Love, exceeds the Love of Power, ,,,then we shall know Peace...

tbolt,
What size are those flares? Looks like the ones
on the back are smaller than the fronts.
What I'd like to do would be to take the little one up
some more and change the front axle at least but I
haven't figured out yet is what I want to do about
the motor. The 2.9 is beat. I'd like to put in a small
block but (A) gas, (B) we still have emmissions testing
here and I'm rather sure I can't get a small block to
run within the the same window as the 2.9. Could try
to change registration but not sure if that is possible.
Got any ideas?

the ones on the rear are narrower cause the stock flares are wider that the front. emissions here aren't to bad,96 and newer have to be plugged in to the states computer for inspection. i dont have to worry about that. as far as a 302, ide go with the EFI one seeing the B2 is already FI. the 2.9's didnt have much for emission control on um anyways

Great,
My wife is watching a show about Hot Dogs
and now she wants one. I could get nasty with
that one, but this being a family channel I guess.
Well wait a minute I can mention the Do Honey list.

Anyway,
There are only 2 places I can think of that make
good hot dogs and Foot longs, One the closer of the 2
I think burned down, the other is all the way down by where
the meet is going to be next weekend and around where TB
lives.
I'll be right back have to go out and roll up my awning
before the wind rips it in half. Be right back.
