I get what you're saying though.

I had the biggest scare I've had in a long time tonight. We got a couple of dogs last weekend from the pound since our dog is around 16 or 17 now. We were hoping the dog could show the new ones the ropes (where to go/not go, when to bark, what to chase off, etc.), but since they're new, we've been locking them up in a pen at night so they don't wander off. All's been well except for one cat that doesn't care for the new dogs. We haven't seen him/her around much (no I don't know which it is, or even it's name).

Well tonight my wife noticed a car on our road driving real slow, then stop and turn off the headlights. This is a country road with no houses in the area the car stopped, so it was a cause for concern. I walked outside to drive down there and investigate. As I got outside, the lights came back on and the car drove off. Turned out to be a neighbor's truck down the road, so no big deal.

In the moonlight I saw the black cat that has made itself so scarce these last few days standing about 20' from me. I walked toward it, and it walked toward me. It wasn't until I was about 2' from it and bending down that I realized the little black cat was actually a skunk.

I'm happy to announce that I can still move pretty quick, and I'm not currently in need of a shower. I will admit I'm having second thoughts about keeping the new dogs penned up at night.

No towers, or Skylons. Overtons and Barts were the catalogue of choice, and Camille Duvall was HOT. I trained at Sammy Duvalls place in Winterhaven FL one spring break, and that was the best spring break of my life. 7am glass rides, eat brkfast about 830, go back and skii till noon, lunch, ski till dark, then fall out in the rack. I blew my knees out playing football, and that ended my waterskiing. I had high hopes of getting a scholarship to USF in Coral Gables FL, for 3 event skiing.

Damn, if I am ever in Washington we will have to go to the lake and see if I can make a huge *** out of myself on the water. How hard is it on the knee's? I have already had a tune up with an alignment on my right knee, don't really want to do that again.

Not yet, but if you do, I'd be more than willing to help be a pack-mule for 1/4 of what I bring out!! LOL

Wow, sorry to hear about that. Probably worked out for the better, you seem to be doing great in life right about now.



Get a Snap on. I've twisted the drive in a Craftsman using a cheater, and a Snap on will bend like a bow under a lot of torque, but the drive part will not twist or break.



If you have never been to Washington, you are missing IMO the most varied state in the Union. From rain forest, to mountains, to rock and sand desert, and anything in between, we have it here.



Yeah it gets cold, but the humidity is so low that you can put a jacket on and that is all you need. I love that sort of climate.
