Man, that's a great idea and reminds me of a joke I will share at another time. But back when copper was fairly cheap, and I had about 10' of 1" left over from building my house. I had my son put it out at the edge of the road and told him to hurry back to the house. As soon as he set it down, I started my stop watch, it took less than 90 seconds for it to be gone. This was also in a very exclusive suburb of Buffalo. I got a large charge out of that.

I'm kind of against our own off topic section for this reason. One, we don't want folks to stray away from the 7.3 tech side, but mostly, how many times do we brag about being the friendliest, most helpful group on FTE? If we form our own OT section, thereby excluding others, how is that being the most friendly group?

I understand we have friends here, and the 7.3 super duty section is more like a family, all but a couple of us have our names in our sig in this thread, so why not make things more interesting and try to follow a thread that bounces around so much? It's even more fun after a few cold ones.

Maybe we should start using the title bar if we're responding to a certain laptop / atv / PAA topic.

I thought I was bad off with my left over ***** delivered Generals chicken from Friday night, but that beats a Fig Newton. Rick, your invitation sounds great. If I can get a set of tires for my Vdub I would not be afraid to drive it anywhere. I gotta win the lottery to take the PSD on another long trip.

We're already in an OT thread. Why not share the joke now? I don't think we've had any jokes yet.

Mark, I don't know what the Vdub is, gut it sounds like it has baby tires. lol But I will get you to SMOKING one way or another. I do think they have the OLD MAN racing on Friday. I don't know how many of us there will be, but I think we can come in 1st and 2nd.

Yep on the governor, just can't figure out why the butterfly valve in the carb isn't operating anymore.

Don't stop for beer? Are you nuts???

Sounds like maybe a spring didn't get put back on, or at least not back in the right hole.

Wonder what that's gonna look like in Barry's next compilation....
