Certainly not all the time. I just worked 80 straight hours, went home for 16 and am back for another 30 or so. But make no mistake, I do like my fishin time.

Chris, the more of your posts that I read the more convinced I become that you reside in the wrong part of the Nation. It is getting clear to you that all the action is back here. Most of us that yack here are within a days drive of each other. Except for Rick

Ok, here is something new for you all to chew on.
I need to take a very long trip this Christmas and have a need for some advice.
I want to direct you to that thread because I fear this thread is about to be closed.

Hey Scott, while googleing the stud info for Dan I also looked this up for when it arises again

Acts 1995, 74th Leg., ch. 165, § 1, eff. Sept. 1, 1995.


§ 547.604. MUFFLER REQUIRED. (a) A motor vehicle shall
be equipped with a muffler in good working condition that
continually operates to prevent excessive or unusual noise.
(b) A person may not use a muffler cutout, bypass, or
similar device on a motor vehicle.

But they don't seem to enforce it much. Wonder if the guys in the weigh stations look at this?

Enjoy work tomorrow.

Except for doing some interviews this week I'll be fishin til the 17th.........

Hey Joe. Yep, that's the law. Not sure if they check for that at weigh stations or not. I do not recall seeing anyone look under my truck when I took it down for inspection but who knows, I may have missed it. Maybe the truck being loud would cause them to look. My truck is due next month so I am going to watch and see what they do.

Work won't be so bad. I'm the supervisor in the plant. Still, I'd rather be riding my jet ski and or out rolling smoke in the truck.

Have a great time fishing!

Don't forget that some states consider a turbo a muffeling device.

Why? You mean the idea discontinued too. I know I am not paying enough attention to the tech right now because of that other mess I stepped in, but that seems to be slowing down also.

Scott allowed the first OT thread to run for a week, then closed it.
This thread is running a week now and many pages long and it is getting down to Sunday evening here.
I think this thread will be closed before long.

Dan I think if memory serves me correctly that Scott will close this one and open another.

His comment from the end of the last thread was he meant to shut it down at 30 pages, so I figured it would be shut down based on thread size, not time frame.

So maybe we just don't post any trivial stuff, it will make it 2 weeks. Damn, I had the best 3 bean salad I've ever had in my life with dinner tonight.
