He can have all the Buick motor he wants. He's a big boy, I don't control anything he does. My only two rules for him: Stay out of trouble, stay out of other women's pants. Thats pretty much it.
Well i am going to counter offer "somewhere in the middle" Leo. My main goals are to pay the truck off, and maybe have a few thousand extra I know I'll need some cash to get moved.

Yes, but it really dies over the weekend. I'll bet if it was a rack of ribs driving that truck Scott would have gotten a phone number at least. I think it was neat that Jacob even had the wits about him to think of mentioning FTE. I ain't gonna let Scott forget this for awhile.....LOL

Seven minutes to closing and I get to go home for the weekend.
I have a project that needs to get done and the weather is cooperating. Supposed to be nice and sunny on the weekend for a change here in Seattle.
The project involves rebuilding the sideboards on my utility trailer that I use for hauling trash to the dump.
Last week I was pulling it and the trailer hit a big bump and somehow tossed the entire sideboard assembly all over the road. Thank God nobody was hurt.
This time it will get bolts through the bottom of the stakes so that there is no way for the thing to jump out.
So I will be off line all weekend doing carpentry work and then painting it. Using marine grade plywood so it won't ever delaminate.

Everyone, have a good weekend.

So for those of you that have seen my video of destroying the house with the truck, here is what I replaced the crappy lean-to with. Remember I'm a General Contractor, so I really cant help it. The redneck in me said destroy it, and the business man in me said build it bigger.

I'll sell it from afar. You're in CO, I'm in MO...it's gonna be a close race. I just got my recovery file for the truck, so she's no longer top speed limited. 
Oh, and I don't care if she's single or not.
I can take care of that when I get there. Just gotta get there first.
See you down there.

I'm sorry I am bringing this up, but yesterday someone posted some incorrect information about the muscle car era and it's been bugging me ever since. I don't know who posted it and am not going to go back and look. But there was never any such animal as a 302 CobraJet. It came with a 428 only. Now y'all keep in mind I am suffering from Oldetymers disease, so there is a chance I'm wrong, but in this case I don't think so.
Just got the 3rd coat of techwax on. What do you think? polished the chrome rims a bit too. Oh, and my co-pilot, Kelly. I was thinking about ditching the running boards, what does everyone here think? Should I go nothing, or maybe tubular?

Actually.....after staring at your truck a bit more, I think it would look best without anything under there.

This is what happens when you go work on your truck, you come back to NOT 3, NOT 4, BUT 5 pages of stuff to read
I hope the counter offer comes though on the house Lisa, and go with option 2 its better than 1. As for the lawn tractors, just put a 7.3 in there and no more problems. You can mow your yard, the neighbors and maybe even get to the yard across the way before you know what happened. The wax job on the truck Brent
looks great, I would love to wax mine but its getting hard with the weather all cooled and all. Scott, all i have to say is, "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?" and "WHAT WERE YOU SUPPOSED TO BE THINKING!" o well I can understand. There is probably more I should say but I am still thinking about what I just read!
