Funny Mark. Been trying to make a post in here with a quote, with no success. So if it shows up with a bunch of the same posts, dont mind all the double posts.

Well then since that made it I'll do it this way.... D@mn it Scott/Texas Outlaw. I'm going to have to see if they(AC/DC) are coming to my area. I'd really like to see them. They rank right with Metallica in my book. I guess you would say Metallica ranks right with AC/DC. I missed my chance at the Metallica tour but I'm hoping for another Summer Sanitarium,

I should be alright though. My hometown has 1 stoplight. and I don't wink at married women.

Mark, you certainly have some interesting stories!

I didn't have to drive for my drivers or motorcycle license. The agent asked me how long I had been driving (2 years car, 4 years motorcycle) and then said that "I already knew how" so no test.

My daughter lost one point on her test for stopping too long at a stop sign and I got a ticket for doing the same. Go figure!

I could probably write a pretty good book. Just don't have the energy. Guess I would need a ghost writer. Starting with my bride and I hitch hiking from California to New York. We left California with eight dollars and got to New York with 1 fifty cent piece. Took us 2 weeks. Lots of stories just out of those 2 weeks.

I think Simon and Garfunkle had a song about this...... were you it.

Hows the no smoking going Mark? I admire your resolve, or is it hardheadedness?

That's retarded. Cops in Iowa have to dig hard to give out tickets?

Mark or Leo, whoever wants to answer...that brings me to a question, Randy and I were discussing this today. Does Iowa have any sort of "make my day" law? In Colorado, if a homeowner shoots and kills someone who is inside the house or attempting to get inside the house without permission, that person cannot be sued criminally or civilly, and cannot be arrested for that action. It basically gives you the freedom to protect your family and your property without fear that the criminal or criminal's family will take legal action against you for protecting yourself.

just wondering. Not that the existence or lack of would stop me from blowing some dude's brains out if he got into my house and was after me..just would be some useful info.

Good luck on your driving test, Jacob! I am sure you will be do just fine. When I took mine I had to parallel park, I had never done it before so the tester jumped out and stood at the passanger window and told me what to. I made it on the first try. He didn't dock me any points either.

Thought I would post a pic of what we did this morning. Poor guy ran out of gas, we towed him about 4 miles back to his house. Troy and the poor gasless guy didn't think that it was too funny that I ran across the street so I could take a picture, too damn bad.


Here are a couple pictures of my new puppy also, he is one week and one day old today. His name is, Bilstein, the name was just a joke at first but my family hated it so much I had to stick with it just to bug them. LOL. I took these today, he is probably around 10-12oz now, he was 186grams when he was born (6.5oz).
