OOoOo someone is in trouble..
Its refresing to meet people with money, and success, that still remember that oftentimes it was the help of others that got them there.
More times than not they run wild with thoughts of entitlement. I have a hard time understanding what makes people betray their own sense of good.

Proto and Wright were my favorites in the field
The 3/4" and 1" drive work fine but the Wright is much stronger

Damaged ligaments / tendons. Bending down is OK, but getting back up doesn't always work too well. Think of trying to push a rubber band back to its original shape once it's been permanently stretched out.
Guess who was a little nervous this morning walking out to the truck? When I pulled out on the road, I did see a skunk come up out of the ditch and start to cross the road about 50 yards ahead. Had to hit the go pedal and swerve. Bump, bump. Luckily it rained a little last night, so I did some more swerving to hit a bunch of puddles to knock down the smell
I've got a NAPA account. They can't come close to the fleetfilter price. If you can find your local Wix rep., he can tell you when the next big sale is at NAPA, Carquest, etc. They have specials every once in a while where you can get the filters locally cheaper than from fleetfilter.

Anyway, back to the post fest!! Mark is a fierce competitor for sure.........

Here's a little OT for the OT......a little family Football history for me, I'm sure that plenty of you are football fans, so I thought you'd find this interesting.
My Dad was one of the stars of the team back in his day playing High School football, he was Fullback, we only had one high school here at that time, so they did lots of traveling.
My brother was a local LEGEND playing high school football here, he was chosen as ALL-PRO defensive lineman, and their team was 2nd place for state championship.
I played a bit of Linebacker in my day, but never did much in high school, I was into skateboarding, beer, and girls lol.
My Dad never went on to play college ball, he joined the Navy instead. My brother got a scholarship at a community college, and later walked on and STARTED at University of Arizona. Interesting fact.....one of his assistant coaches played pro football with Dick Butkis.....he once told me of a story about the bottom of a pileup after a fumble.......Dick Butkis actually bit a guys finger OFF when it made its way into his facemask. He's got my vote for the MEANEST player ever
