Thanx for the answer Shel, back when I was looking into it DTV was still the provider and I had means of receiving free unlimited of that. But the dish was huge and I was living in my motor home, so I just used my cell as a modem (talk about snooze time) until wi-fi became available. I am happy as the pig in chit with what I have now. But all of the fun has gone from DTV.

I think thats what happened, I would have to have the choke at about 1/2 way all the time for it just to run. Then when I went to the mid grade gas I didnt have problems with it. I figured the higher octane would help burn whatever water was in there.

I dont think it will show up as "delivered" untill the driver gets back to the hub..

That was one of the many things I found bizarre with that Jeep. That inline six was full of torque though.

I don't know about your UPS drivers in your area but my gal is hustling all the time and in great shape too. I can't see her at least screwing off.

Who is that tall blonde that plays in this movie? Shes the "new owners" daughter I believe. She looks like she'd be fun.

Good morning, everyone. The rain has stopped here (temporarily) and I am not being lazy today. So far today:

Made breakfast for me and Dallas (she's spoiled when I am home).
Cleaned stove and replaced burner drip pans. Also fixed one burner that was broken.
Cleaned my Pro Dry filter on my truck. It was clean anyway, thanks Pete!
Ran into town and bought six gallons of cottonseed oil, four turkeys, half a bed load of firewood and a bunch of Christmas light stuff.

This afternoon, Dallas and I are putting up lights and then we are going to take a small nap, maybe.

Thinking of making a sushi date with Susan tonight. Might have some cold sake too.

More rain expected tonight. Last night it rocked here. Bad thunderstorm and it rained harder last night than it did during Ike. Hope it's not as bad tonight.

I'm doing the "use it or lose" thing this week. I had five days left that if I didn't burn by the 20th, I lose them. I go back to work next week, and then on the 20th I get five weeks vacation on the books again. Still have a ton of sick days to use to. I usually give a bunch of them back though.

Going to rearrange our guest bedroom and get it ready for my Mom to come and visit next month. She is coming to Texas for the birth of her great grandson and Christmas.

And to cook my favorites for me, her favorite child.
