Addicted!!!

OK, I'm already a member of PAA - by the way, its not very anonomous if we tell everybody -

Back to the point - FTE is freaken addictive. I gotta get back to work...must do work...

I can't help it, I'm spending waaay to much time reading thru the forums. I spent over an hour today looking at Rick's thread about "what do you guys haul". I've got to get my butt back to work!!!

Am I the only one???

This is the most informative and often entertaining forum I've ever seen. You guys really know your stuff. And its fun. Did I mention its addictive??

We changed it from Powerstroke Addicts Anonymous to Powerstroke Addicts Association. The former indicates that it's a problem, and as any good addict knows, it's not a problem, I can quit at any time!!!

My Home page on three different computers.
My bookmarks go for miles from search interest.
Trouble is when i need to look somthing up. What computer has the bookmark. So i search some more.
To long away from the computer i start getting the shakes. My Heart starts beating like #8 and my EGT's start rising. Plus my wife said last night i am going to wear out my Hood hinge. Cause I pop the hood so many times to just stand there and look at what i want to tinker with. The neighbors think something is always wrong with the truck because they always see me standing on a 5 gallon pale working on something.

When I was down the Outer Banks last week, I stopped by the marina where all the fishing boats go out of in Hatteras. I jumped out of the truck and went to look at the board where they clean the fish to see what the total weights were from the various boats that day. I left the kids and the wife in the truck when I left. When I got back in it, I had a smile on my face. The wife asked me what I was smiling at? I said, "sometimes I forget how good looking this truck is." She just laughed and shook her head.

Yeah, I have it bad.
