This photo is primarily an idea for Travis. Just in case your happy marriage ever starts to go downhill badly and there is nothing you can do to save it, this is just a little money saving idea for you.

On a serious note, that terrain there is just what it is like Moose hunting in Alaska. You either go after it has frozen, wear hip waders. or jump from Tundra clump to Tundra clump.

Jeremy, are you 2 wheel drive or 4? Wish I got better mileage. I am down to about 10-11 in town driving in the cold weather. Not much better in the summer. 15-16 highway in the summer. Just curious.

I'm still getting 15-19+ depending how I drive it. With the new turbo and the nice increase in top end, it's been even harder to stay out of it. Now I just have to get the dang injectors so I'm not running out of HP oil up there. I seem to be able to trip that ICP code REAL easily now

Guess I should feel pretty good getting 14 to 19+ with a 9500 lb dually

Well Hells Bells, I just noticed this rule.

No Political, Sexual or Religious topics please

That's gonna clamp down bad on a couple of heavy hitters in the OT threads of old.

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.
That is the reason right there that I put my explanation, I knew I would catch a whole lot of crap for the price, but I didn't pay for it. I am just a hell of a tax lady!! I won't spend over $30 when I buy my own purses, just can't see spending the money on a damn bag I am going to destroy in a matter of months.....

I went ahead and came in to work but will leave if I have to. Kiefer is at my house taking care of Cody.

The camera is ready to go and in the truck already. Oh, get this, Cody has already said that the wants Hunter brought home in Jezebel. Yeah, I got sappy when she told me....
Hopefully Cody and Kiefer can get some rest today. Tell Cody to not be a hero and to get the drugs!!!!!!!!!!!! The epidural needle is the only needle I won't complain about. lol.

He says he can make my life pleasant, so we shall see. It sure ain't much fun right now.

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.
I lucked out with yesterdays scans and didn't need to have contrast! Let me tell you how happy I was!! I had contrast with the one I had 3 weeks ago and I almost kicked the tech who gave it to me, he had a very rough hand and jammed the needle in. I wanted to cry, but I am a big baby.

Do you know what day your next appt is on?

I have done that in 3 out of the 5 MRI's I have had

I am getting about the same mileage as you are, but I can't keep my foot of the skinny petal. I could really use the 2x4 mod but it is just too much fun to pass people and show them some smoke

Jan. 12th with the Pulmonary Dr., guess he's gonna give it a month to see what these high dollar meds he put me on do. Have y'all got a clue what these inhaler thingamajigs cost? 300 bucks a month and he wrote me for 2 of them. Wish I could spend that money on mods.
