Scott, this was an experiment that was a huge success. Many topics, many participants, very interesting insights, overall a great thread. Thanks for starting it and for letting it grow.
Will the interest diminish a little as the newness wears off? Doubt it but this would reduce the number of pages that accumulate in a week. Starting one of these each week would be a way to control how big they get. Just doing some thinking.
Again, thanks for the thread. It was fun.

Its more like a chat room than anything else, I like it though. Its a fun thread you get to know the people on here in a different way than just truck stuff.
I was goin to add the pics of my new bike on here tonight but I cant find my cord to connect my camera to the computer
But it is a blast to ride and looks even better in my driveway than at the dealer
and GREAT MPG's too

Since this is a new one, i'll chime in before this grows too long. A random story i'd like to share with yall about today when i was on the way to the carnival with the woman..
We left a stoplight in a long line of traffic, i saw a huge cloud of smoke up in the air over the intersection, didnt know what it was. Thought it might been a old tractor trailer since that was at the intersection of Random House book manufacturing.... alot of truck traffic. Well did not see a modded diesel or a tractor trailer, so i kept on driving. Two miles later i see another huge cloud in the road, this time a lifted dodge on 22.5's and 7" miters is flying down the road the opposite way, apparently he turned around. This sucker was modded, i could see tire smoke at even very high speed, plus the huge cloud of smoke he left in the road ACTUALLY HAD PEOPLE PULLING OVER! Cars were pulling over to the side, some turned on their headlights, everyone slowed down, i switched to 140Dyno and just laid out my own line of smoke, the huge line of traffic behind me got very dark and the cars kept back a few hundred feet, even at the next stop light the car was hesitant to get within 50 feet of me!

Here we go again. Thanks Scott, I think 30 pages are fine.
Kris, good story. I was thinking you were going to say you put him down. lol
About my posting.
I have some great workers that take care of the customers. With the hardware, plumbing, farm equip., I am busy making orders. Everything is done on the puter, so much better then having to put all the part #s on paper. But FTE is in the first tab, and I check it every few mins. 
Keeps the ordering fun. lol
