I like Jim's idea. We could each have our own few acres, big dinner hall in the middle...quad track out back, the biggest garage in recorded history...

Jim's happy now pizza showed up. 4 slices and a cold beer. I'm good now!!

We have to make sure that the garage has lifts. It's much easier to work on your truck.

UFC is Utilmate Fighting Championship

I believe the correct jest for mice is " fuzz nuts" not furry *****, but hey I am, from Iowa....never have been in the cool crowd and prolly never will be.

Its been a long day... the new 30' 22,500 lbs GVWR gooseneck pulled in at 7:30 am. I spent the rest of the day working on various projects including the gooseneck hitch on the 2000 F350. One of my crew that works for me made it " like he made some others ". I wound up taking it out, modifiying it , beefing it up for the new goose. I'd post some truck porrn but its dark....and the pierce die I am working on does not much look like a die yet.

I have not kept up the last 80 pages or so.....that may take me all night.

ETA: the gauges and 4" exhaust fromDiesel manor all came in this week. I got 2 sets, 1 for the excursion and one for the 2000 F350. Now I just gotta find time to install them. I did get the hellwig on the ex,,, big difference in the wind, but kinda a PITA to install. If I did not run a machine shop I'd of had to make a couple hardware runs.

Of course it would, more than one actually. I'm thinking along the line of at least 6. Don't forget there will be a lot of people living there.!! Complete with mocrofibre towels to dry and wax our beloved trucks.

One flock was estimated at over 2 1/4 BILLION birds. Come to Colorado. You can still see Bison here. There were 2 major herds before the Europeans came: North & South. Combined, nearly 100 million animals strong.

Yes, I eat meat. I would like to go hunting too. But go get a bike, or build things - don't just kill for the sake of killing. There are better things to do.

Maybe one day we won't be at the top of the food chain...
There's a reason we're at the top of the food chain!

Nice! Gotta get me one. I think I'll paint it Money Green, with some Texas longhorns on the hood.

Ontop of that, I have been having terrible service issues. I go into someone's house and suddenly I have no service.
I've had Alltel for 13or 14 years now. I have had numerous problems with the billing, but they get the best service in the sticks were I live.

Dan I probably wont recommend trying to draw that thing until I got some new limbs. Bow string and fiberglass dont taste to good. Did you find a place to get you fixed up with some new ones?

Just got in and got caught up on the thread. Hunted this morning and afternoon. Had to go into work for a few hours and gotta work tomorrow, so i can get all my vacation for hunting season.

I like the lift idea...heck I'm happy when there is a garage that is tall enough for my truck, doesn't take much to please me.

I'm the cool crowd? lol.
Sorry I'm the one not familiar with lingo for mouse genitalia..

Speaking of the mouse, he proceeded to hang out in the kitchen and eat on a piece of dog food mattie managed to roll under the oven, and he did it right in front of me. The Victor traps are set, and I've made a cocktail. Now we wait...

Well if someone wins the powerball, they better come up with something because this seems like a pretty cool arrangement...

The only problem is, I don't think any of us would ever be able to come to an agreement on where this ranch will be located.
