Oh you belong alright you hot little number, just sadly not to me. You either have a whole bunch of us fooled or you come across as the perfect female companion for a man.

Yes, that was a generality, and it was not intended to be hurtful to yourself, Cris, and any other woman on this board. My apologies for the unintended slight.

Just a little bit of an oops.....
Glad you survived your morning of shopping with the neighbor. I am afraid she will see you as her new ride now, hopefully I am wrong.
Have a good couple hours everyone, I am off to the post office. Hopefully it isn't too crazy there right now.

Need to do something.
Once apon a time we used to get snow.
Dont know if they do or not. We have an old '70s model CAT D6 with a 10' can opener and its got glowplugs, no block heater. That is the easiest starting piece of equipment on the place.It can be the dead of winter(when we had winters) and you just hold the glowplugs on for about 8 seconds and hit the starter. You really got to let it warm up though. It almost sounds like its got a hot cam in it.
I've often wondered the same!
I'm having ugly visions in my head right now of a old lady with a cig in one hand and a glass of liquor in the other, wearing some clothes she really shouldnt be, saying "What are you looking at" in a really tainted smokers voice.
AAAAAWWWW, NIGHTMARES!
Now thats bringing back the old school.
Thats what warm clothes, four wheel drive and see the above post about the D6 for pushing snow is for.
Shoulda never opened that door.

This post makes my day. I'm laughing so hard I can't drink my Pepsi. There are a few members here that are praying for snow. Let me tell ya, youse guys can have it and all the fun that is attached to it. If you want a snow vacation, plan for 2 weeks in Utah or Colorado, but this praying for it in your driveway and front yard is just plain crazy.
Well I was out and about with her for 3 hours.
Turns out we were going to the local Salvation Army distribution center to pick up a box of food. That took about an hour and a half. Wow what an experience. Lots of people there, waiting in line for hours for just a box of dried goods.
She ran into one of her friends there, so I gave that gal a ride home too. And then I got suckered into going for coffee at the local Hy-Vee. She tried to get me to take her garage sale-ing.
Since I got home, she has already come knocking on my door twice. Once to drop off a book, the other time to drop off some food she said she wouldn't eat.

You know how neat this is? Big boys getting to play with big boy toys like this and getting paid very well for it too.

Caterpillar does something right, that's for sure. I can let the 3208 in my motor home sit for months and start without even 1 entire revolution. If it does not, that means something is wrong. I does have a block heater that I will use if the temperature is below freezing.

She made a comment about the truck and how its not right to be modifying a vehicle when so many people out there don't have homes.
I smiled and played nice.
Yep. And when he gets home I have a pot roast waiting for him. He's spoiled. He does have a cool job too.

Brendan, I was mostly giving you a hard time. I didn't want to make you feel bad.
Oh good Lord I hope you are wrong about that. I don't mean to sound as though I don't want to help, but I hate being guilted into doing things. It drives me crazy.
Post Office will most likely be totally nuts. Good luck!

The PO wasn't too bad, only had to stand in line for 10mins. Took longer to drive there and find a spot in that little lot than it did to mail everything.
That ain't too far off. Add in a lecture or two about how its a sin for women to show off their bodies, and how its a sin to have anything extra in your life when everyone else is suffering....

recomended preheat time was 60 seconds for over 30º, and 180 seconds for under 30º, and once started, return switch to preheat till running smooth.
the glow plugs would get so hot cat put what looked a large steel valve embedded in the top of the piston to keep the glow plug from melting the top of the piston.

Now y'all keep in mind that I've been in all 50 states several times over. It is really obvious that a pair of retarded brothers travel from new PO to new PO and design their parking lots for them.
