Wow I'm surprised how slow the O/T is today. My schools homecoming dance was yesterday but I didn't have a date and I didn't feel like going to the dance there were parties last night but I was too damn tiredto go. Got up on saturday at 9 am started running tractors at 11 am, didn't stop till 5pm, then we had to cover the pile of corn silage and throw tires on the plastic to weigh the plastic down. Then we had to feed some cows. got home at 7:00 got cleaned up and went to a resturaunt for my brother's birthday.

You can forget any action in the OT thread when Lisa is not getting paid to participate. I guess if we could figure out someway for her to get paid at home she could keep the life in the thread.

Told ya, she's the lifeblood of this thread. When she moves to corn country, or is it hog land? It'll probably dry up and blow away.

I don't think so, I hope not at least. I enjoy the O/T threads.

Jacob, you should go back to the very first post you ever made at FTE and look at the difference in your ability with punctuation, spelling, etc. etc. That is something you can thank the O/T threads for.

This is such a great way to inflate post counts.

It makes one look much more credible in other threads, as opposed to actually knowing something about the trucks and participating in problem-solving.

Respectably,

I think everyone in the forum knows who the gurus are, there's no mistaking them. Also, I think most of the folks here know their limitations when offering advice or solutions. I'm not near the mechanic that guys like Dan, Ron, Chris, Brandon and a few of the others are and I know and remember that when I post in technical threads. Now, threads where we are discussing welding, fabrication or machining....I'm on it and am confident in any advice that I give. The OT threads are just a way for us to hang out and chat with people that we like. We all know each other in here. In General Discussion....not so much. Usually, if you're not in the clique there, you won't even get a repsonse.

Whoa Pop......sensing a little bit of hostility here! This thread is just a great way to have a different type of fun here on FTE. Sorta like the Club fte stuff.....it's fun getting to know the personalities a bit more then normal. We're like family....and this is our campfire
