Have fun raking Joe! My P's got an electric leaf thingie years ago. My dad's not much for manual labor, and if he can buy a toy to 'help'... they're on maybe 1/3 acre and he has a riding mower... LOL. Best part is, he'd be out there for 1hr+, then take a break... and go back out for another 1hr+ to "finish".... and there wouldn't be a straight line in sight!!! Seriously. He rode the thing like a go-cart that just happened to have blades underneath!!

I'm seriously considering moving somewhere back East. I miss forests with leafy trees & streams running everywhere. The mountains are great, but .... maybe for me, just a place to visit. We'll see.
I miss palm trees and white sand beaches and weather that never gets below 60 (or at least very often) and not having a bloody nose every time it gets cold......
Not much snow where I live... you'd want to be up at higher elevations... say 8000' or so... I'm only around 5400' and them big ol' Rockies tend to act like a wall and hold up alot of the storms. Even when we do get it, it's so dry that it evaporates fast. We had 4" out there last week, and today you can see 80% of my lawn.
Hey, it takes talent to screw up like that!!! HAHAHAHAAA!!!
Well, I'm off to Wally's to get some shopping done, then wash the pups, and finally off to the gym to use the climbing wall. Got some crap news this morning that I need to get outta the head for a bit, and climbing is one of the few things that would do it.
Say Brent, when are we gonna do a "Godzilla weekend" and burn some town to the ground? I could use it!!
I knew it wouldnt bother you either, we are brothers after all!! Peru sounds good, after a nice layover in Colorado and AZ to hit up some clubs....

Are you kidding me? What a gal. I'm lucky if we even have a beer in the fridge, let alone get her to open it for me. Apparently I have some lessons to learn from you Joe...
Brendan, I dont know how I am ever getting outta here but I'm thinking I need to soon. I havent had much of a break since before we got pregnant, built the house, all that. I NEED a vacation bad....
When I signed off last night there were (IIRC) 25 or so posts left to go.

Thanks for starting the new one up. I'll catch up with all of you later tonight. My stepson and daughter in law are getting ready to leave but we are going out to lunch first.

Dammit. I already have a quote in my sig that isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Maybe I'll store this one away for later.....

Well, you've got my address and my spare room just has an inflatable mattress, but it truly is might comfy. Just give a holler when you're coming!

It was an A6 that I did a timing belt job on. Also in the process, I needed to remove the ABS control unit so it could be rebuilt.
Man whatever happened to the 5000 post OT thread, now that was fun!
Good morning everyone, just got up about 1/2 hr ago, it's sunny and 52* here in the OC of SoCal. Man I got till next Monday for my predeployment leave, and a launhdry list of honey-do's, but no motivation whatsoever. It's so much easier to sit my *** on the couch and watch classic movies.....
