RETIREMENT PLANNING FOR 2008

If you had purchased $1,000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00.

With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1,000.00.

With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left.

If you had purchased $1,000 of Delta Air Lines stock you would have $49.00 left.

But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling, you would have had $214.00.

So, based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

It's called the 401-Keg Plan.

I like to sit right under the tree right there on the left. About the only place with shade, unless you bring your own tent.

It's in Abbeville, cost $5 a person to watch, or $10 a truck to go in the mud hole. They have portalets (sp? portable bathroom), a consession stand that sell food and drinks, plenty of parking, a dirt drag track (don't know if they'll be competting on April 20th. I doubt it)

Robert, to tell the truth, as long as you don't hit a hole, you should be able to play in most of it.

The holes are BAD, so people with 36s get stuck, people with 44s get stuck....

I'd just watch for a little while and watch where to stay clear of after everyone gets stuck, then possibly get a couple pics pulling some chevys out, then go in!

Thanks Phil

I may be able to score some 38" boggers. I have a friend that has a set that he hasn't put on his bronco yet. If he happens to be home I will get him to come with his bronco. He's not scared to hit anything.

Some times not being scared is a bad thing.

Makes things more fun/interesting, but can also make for a heck of a recovery.

That's the guy with the custom half cab....blue bronco?

By all means, the more the marrier.

Yeah, I've been there several times.

I've seen trucks on 44s get stuck in some places, and trucks on 33s play around.

I haven't been lately, so I'm sure there are new holes.

Well, that works too.

Good to see people use their Early Broncos.

Sure are some nice little trucks.

I just found out that he won't be home for another month or so.

Maybe I can use his boggers.

He also has a truck that the minions would not like. 87 F150 44" boggers, 9", ttb, 460.
He just has the tires on it. it hasn't moved. He needs a sawzall to really make the tires fit.
