I highly doubt that.
Cris said Coach. Now that she mentioned it I have heard that brand name before.
Cris good thing you gave your explanation as to why you had a $500 purse. I was about to start in on a WHOLE round of crap.
Woohoo! Nothin better than a new baby! We want pictures grandpa!
Well at least some people understand the OT
I've had very good luck with the JVC Marshmallow Earbuds. New marshmallow - HA-FX34B I got mine at Walmart, IIRC. Comfortable and good at blocking out noise. I use them a lot when riding and even mowing the lawn.
Thank you. Based on the suggestions everyone has made, looks like I'm going to wally world.

I always thought, if I ever met Joe, he would give me a "hello, can you hear me now?" for a greeting!

Ding, fries are done! I too have done several searches and not once has the OT came up in one of them. No disprespect to Scott, but I knew that excuse was something that someone higher up in the food chain had handed down to him as the reason. As soon as I read it, I knew that was some managerial mumbo jumbo excuse. I get the same sort of thing at work and I ususally see right through that too....
Wow, how weird is that? You posted this right about the time that I texted you to say we were on our way to the hospital....
I think she will be having a baby in a few hours....will keep you in the loop. Oh, to answer your question, yes, Kiefer is here. He's tired from flying all the way home from way out at sea but he's here, and doing good.

I can understand it. I've done google searches on things before and ended up with links to FTE. My wife was searching for info about the new F150's and forwarded me links to FTE articles. I think Ken is more worried about the google search than our won internal search. It does seem to make sense moving the closed O/T's into the general forum, but I'm not sure if that part of the forum is filtered from a google search or if it would still get hits.
You sucking out the HPOP too?? Just curious...I think my parents are the same way...

Thanks, Jeremy! Like I said above, will keep everyone up to date as best I can and then Cris will be the official news provider.
Sure will and thanks!

Mark- hopefully you will get some promising news at next months doc appt!
Jeremy, thank you from the bottom of my heart. As an example of how important the OT thread is to me, y'all in here knew about this diagnosis before even any of my children.

Maybe You Have Maybe You Have Not
NEVER CHOKE IN A RESTAURANT IN THE SOUTH
Two hillbillies walk into a bar. While having a shot of whisky, they
talk about their moonshine operation.
Suddenly a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a sandwich, begins
to cough. After a minute or so it becomes apparent that she is in real
distress. One of the hillbillies looks at her and says, 'Kin ya swallar?'
The woman shakes her head no.
Then he asks, 'Kin ya breathe?'
The woman begins to turn blue and shakes her head no.
The hillbilly walks over to the woman, lifts up her dress, yanks
down her drawers and quickly gives her right butt cheek a lick with his
tongue. The woman is so shocked that she has a violent spasm and the
obstruction flies out of her mouth. As she begins to breathe again, the
Hillbilly walks slowly back to the bar.
His partner says, 'Ya know, I'd heerd of that there 'Hind Lick
Maneuver' but I ain't niver seed nobody do it!'

Hmmm... never had an MRI, and I'm OK with that.
I topped off for $2.09 last night, but all other stations were around $2.59 so maybe just a mistake, but when CALI has lower fuel prices, something is WRONG!!!

Like an effin champ! Got about 4500 miles on the conversion so far, and it's been great. MPG has gone up considerably. I got nearly 17 MPG on one of my 300 trips over the Thanksgiving holiday...I figure with winter fuel too, that's not too bad. Average highway MPG has been 15-17 so far.
I also threw it on a dyno last weekend. It's a PowerDyne dyno and everyone there told me it reads about 100 HP low when compared to other dynos, such as Dunbar's dyno. Anyway, it layed down 450/850, which would put it at about 550/1035 on most any other dyno. Needless to say, I'm pleased. That also wasn't with the hottest program, and only the single stock CP3. I'm working on some other programming and the second CP3,which should get it up to around 625-650 HP.
It's been great so far though. No problems starting it in cold weather either. Even without a grid heater or cold weather starting aids, it fires quicker than the stroke did. The 7.3 was an awesome motor, but if anyone is on the fence about a conversion, give me a call...I would have done it years ago if I knew what was in store for me now, with my power goals and all.
You're very welcome, Mark. You've become a great friend here and I'll be damned if something like this is going to prevent me from meeting you someday. Even if I have to convince Lisa come down from IA and we drive our happy asses out to see you...I'm gonna have to meet up with you somehow.
