I agree! That's where my too boys came from. And they are the best dogs!! My next one (or two) will be a military working dog that couldn't quite cut the mustard. They are trained down in San Antonio, and they give them a year or two of training, then if they don't make it, offer them up for adoption. It's not that they're bad dogs, they just don't have quite the right demeanor or hesitate when they shouldn't. Makes for a questionable military dog, but an extrememly well trained pet, otherwise.

But anyway, good morning everyone!! I haven't been able to sleep much this afternoon, but I'm going to try now. Spent the afternoon getting the last bits of stuff ready to head out...

Ok, I'm caught up again. Had a very quiet day yesterday holed up at home with just my wife and I.
Sometimes you just need to hibernate for a day and recharge your batteries.
Jeremy if I cannot get to sleep within five minutes I have had a hard night.

Yeah I agree I am sure its the needle. . . as there is all kinds of pressure up to the carb inlet Its a 500 CFM holley 4412 I believe. Pretty simple. I guess I'll go get that done now

Is that sorta like not being able to sleep on Christmas Eve when you're a kid?

I've always wanted to adopt a retired police dog. I hear they have programs out there for that. German Shepherds are fantastic dogs.

Ok, well, time to recharge myself with some coffee and go outside and mow the lawn in my pajamas...just in time to freak out all the good kiddies on their way to church.

I have a 15 year old TV that simply refuses to die.
I wonder if I could hook it up to 220v and see how long it would last.

Nice on the LCD 60''. I went with a 42'' plasma and wish at the time I could have afforded bigger. At the same time, it fits the room perfectly so make sure you take that into account. We used to have it in our old living room where we sat too close and we both got head aches for awhile.

We actually have a town not far from me that gives out tickets for the following-
1) If a store sells alcohol on Sunday-
2) If you mow your lawn on Sunday
3) If you hang your clothes out on the line on Sunday

4) Basically going to church is all thats allowed.

My grandparents live there and have received citations for such events.

Crazy... Enjoy mowing the lawn!
