Damn, just did the math and I figured if I make it out there Smokey and the Bandit style with my foot in it the whole way, at about $4.50 a gal, it'll cost me about $1830 in fuel alone. If I keep it about 75 and under it'll cost me about $1600. Damn that expensive. How many 55 gal drums can you fit uprite in a short bed (my long bed has a tool box in it) ??

 

Here is something to help all you guys out!


9 WORDS WOMEN USE


(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3)Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

(4)Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' ... that will bring on a 'whatever').

(8)Whatever: Is a women's way of saying F* YOU!

(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

I hope you can make it. It's shaping up to be a big FTE turnout, and it's still 9 months away!

 

Perhaps I can get one or two friends with diesel to form a caravan. If I have someone to talk to I could make the drive straight. If not ask if one of my friends wants to run to the store with me and kidnap them!

 

I'll go Nolan

 

Like the conversion, just thought i'd give ya a shout since we're about 30 miles away.

 

I didn't even know there were any other FTE members anywhere close to me.

Actually they would like to see more 7.3 Ford folks there, We would not outdo them, but they would shure join in with us.

You can bring 4 pounds of bacon or sasusage for breakfast.... The only rule is that you must stay sober the night before to actually cook said bacon or sausage at a "normal" breakfast hour. 1pm is not considered a normal breakfast hour

I asked Diane yesterday and she said for me to ask Wayne(the owner of Thedieselgarage.com) I PMd him late last night have not had a respnse yet.

3.5 pages in one day!
Beautiful decks there Mark.
I'm too far from Smokin' to consider going, but if I could, I would cook breakfast for you all. I don't drink but a beer or two, then hit the sheets. Always up at 4:30 am.

 

I know what you mean, Dan. Pages load very slow here, so it takes a lot of time get through them all. Finally did though!!

I'm hoping to make it to this one. The last one I was too busy to break away for, so I couldn't get there. But me & beer have a hell of a re-acquaintence to make in a few more weeks...

 

That would work for you Dan, it would be 7:30 our time...
