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 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!!

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.....

Yes I do!! Sounds good man, we'll be in touch. That would be great, we'd have to get lots of pics to make everyone else on here jealous!
