I think that motor would be about the size of a cobra. lol.

I think a pearl white 1 ton 7.3 with ghost flames on the front would be somethin to look at. Not sure about stacks, not sure they'd mesh with pretty white paint.

No worries, she's pretty spoiled. Every day when I come home we do hotlaps (that's where we play with her toy, she chases it, chases me when I have it, I chase her, in circles mostly). After that she goes and takes a nap and then we have a big long pet session in the evening. When she does act up, its because she is not getting 100% of my attention.

You see Mattie has extreme separation anxiety, I've discovered. She is a perfect angel dog when she's with me, misbehaves pretty badly when I'm gone. When I go see Randy here soon, I am going to put her in a doggy daycare - which will run me more than my plane tickets. She behaves like a crazy dog when I leave her with anyone, going nuts and tearing stuff up, going potty inside, hiding under the bed. It'd be better to leave her with professionals.

She seems like she's getting better but 5 years of being abandoned and ignored really did this dog a number.

Worthless as a smoke detector though.

Drinks are necessary, when playing a game that involves whacking a small white ball with a stick.

The one time I went golfing I had more fun doing donuts in the golf cart.

Getting ready to head to KC for the NASCAR race here before too long. Just waiting on Jeff to get finished up with his stuff and come pick me up. Staying at a friends house, w/o wireless, so I'm out of the loop until Sunday night. I almost dread to see how much there will be to catch up on over the weekend.

I did get something accomplished this morning though. I decided to polish the cold side IC pipe (hot side will be mostly hidden, so I didn't mess with it) and the coolant reservoir tank I'm using on the conversion. They should look pretty good when they go on next week. Here's some pics of them...sorry for the poor quality from the cell phone. The good camera is already packed up.

The one and only time I went golfing I ended up barefoot cuz flip flops make it impossible to whack the ball. I putted much the same as shooting pool, you know using the handle end of the club as a cue stick. What's neat about doing it that way it does not really matter which club you use. I was never invited to go golfing again. Think I shot in the low 150's. Some folks really take that goofy game seriously.

Agreed. Unfortunately that project will likely have to go on the "just hit the lottery" pile.

It's the only foot I have at five in the morning. Made worse today by the news that our contract extension has yet to be funded.....so I may be processing for layoff by Tuesday afternoon.

TGIF my ***. What a lousy day.

Oh well. Grandma has the kids tonight and me and the old lady are going out on a date. Lata' flava'

Sorry to hear about that contract extension, Scott. Hopefully someone will get their *** in gear and get things going.

Got home about 30 minutes ago. Susan doesn't get home for another hour or so. Just poured my first Texas Martini.....I'll be right by the time she gets here.

Ha!

Guys, I think I just discovered why Mark was never invited golfing again...



J/K Mark. I wasn't any good at golfing either. I got bored really quickly.

Good stuff today folks. Lisa's 19th hole....FUNNY! Scott/cookie, hope it they get on the ball. We been pretty slow at my work, but it gives me time to work on some government projects like my step bracket covers and my latest is the 6637 filter box. Looks like I'm off to change my sig now.
