Hell, I can see it now -- they're probably taking turns at the wheel doing laps over my very flattened corpse.
Look, don't worry about it. I apologize I even brought it up and I should never have said anything. It wasn't right of me to be involved a conversation that involved a gift you had gotten your wife.

No honor defense necessary, Brent.

So who wants to stay up late with me tonight????? I have my EEG in the morning and I can't have more than 6 hours of sleep so I am going to be up until atleast 2:30. 6 hours of sleep in no big deal, thats all I usally get but I cant have any caffeine before the test. No coffee is going to be the killer.

After that we are going to take the kids over to my Aunt's house and give them their quads for xmas, I really wanted to wait until Christmas day but Troy has to work. This way he will be able to help me load them in the truck and watch the kids ride for a while. I just hope the girls as half as excited about them as Troy is. lol.

Very true the 02 F-250 sitting there with 30K on the truck has been built heavly (don't know the tunes) and he is only 500 HP after 20K. He is getting the 07 Motor. They do sound purdy though I'll stick to my ford and PSD.

Oh good Lord....

Lisa, I was funnin' with you. Did you see the smilies & LOLs & sarcasm? You don't need to apologize -- I do for letting you think it was a big deal and pushing it too far again.

Cris --> I'd stay up, but the Xanax will have me nice & sleepy shortly, plus, I only got a couple hours last night. Need my ZZZs tonight. Besides, I've done enough damage tonight... LMAO!!!!

That EXACT thing happened to my wife when I was overseas, Mark. But here's the kicker -- they told her they took TriCare (military insurance), but when she was done, they told her they didn't take that particular type of TriCare. That battle isn't over yet...

I'm crossin' my fingers & toes for you, Cris!! Praying everything goes well.

Oh, darling...I can think of so many things to say here, along the lines of making sure you don't have more than 6 hours of sleep.

This guy built the Trashcan Stack dodge that put down the some good numbers at Smokin, a blue 06 Megacab truck that put down some good numbers up there and a silver 3500 that laid down 650 up there. His name is Mark at MCN Diesel. He said he could build me a mild cummins installed for under 15K. He had a 07 5.9 ready to put into the 02 F-250 that only had 15K on it he only paid 4700 for the entire engine.
