Anything that has a board involved, usually gets my attention. If you try snowboarding, remember they dont call us "knuckle draggers" for nothing! One thing no matter how hard I try I cant master the skate board. Weird huh? Surf board, wake board, snow board, knee board...All good. Must be the wheels.

I started waterskiing when I was 3 yrs old, grew up 15 miles from a ski-resort and for some weird reason I never once tried snow skiing, I was instantly attracted to Snowboarding once it came on the scene.....I think it was around 85' when I first tried it. Burton Woody was my first board, no metal edges! I'd kill to have that on the wall now....collectors item.

Hey everybody. I got a question that I want your opinions on.
Say you are driving a 130hp tractorlike this pulling a wagon full of feed and you are almost at an intersection but someone flys right by you and nails their breakes to stop for the intersection, would you either A. slam on your brakes, B. ram his *** and say you didn't see him, or C. nail your breakes and get right up on his *** and slowly at first push him out of your way faster and faster? I would ram his ***.

Jacob.....there are a LOT of really stupid and careless drivers in this world. If we all acted on our gut reactions on things that happen in traffic, none of us would have drivers licenses lol Frustrating yea......but not worth smashing the guy up over! Cool tractor

It's got a Diesel it's Turboed and can be P-Pumped

Sure, this sounds like fun. But it would just get your *** landed in jail, or worse yet the clown may have a gun and just choose to shoot you dead. I did beat a motor cycle ride half to death once with his own helmet though. I guess I was not going fast enough for him so when he blew by me he was dumb enough to give me the finger as he did. Then he had the misfortune of catching the next light. I just put my truck in park, sort of jogged up to his bike grabbed his *** by the back of his helmet, as he came off the bike, of course the bike landed on its side his helmet ended up in my hand and I left him good and bloody right there in the intersection. Calmly got in my truck and drove around the mess I had just created and got a lot of thumbs ups from observers. I think he probably gave up flipping the bird to other drivers.

Good afternoon everyone, it was raining here today so that put the ca bash on my work day.

So after some thought of what I was going to do with my day. I decided to finish installing the drinking water filtration unit that has been collecting dust at my house. This is so OT, so I figured what better place.


I tapped into the existing fitting for the ice maker for a supply to the filter unit, then ran a line to the drinking faucet in the kitchen and also teed into that same line to re-hook up the ice maker.

The only similarity to a PSD would be some of the connections I used to attach all the lines. Very simular to some of the fuel line connections.

Before I decided to tackle that I put some new rubber on the truck also
The BFG were done at 25K I ran them another 8k, but winter is coming and I would be screwed with those POS on.

I asked my dad and he said it IS NOT illegal if some DA whips right around you right before an intersection to hit him if you are in a tractor that would be called Short Stopping. I am definatley letting my friend know about this.
