Good Morning all.... what is with this cold weather?

i should have stayed down in Florida where it was in the 70's at least!

Great game by the way.. i will get some pictures up sometime this week.. i had to stop off at Best Buy in Omaha after I got in yesterday as I broke our digital camera in florida when i fell down!

(at 3am after the game) Wife wasn't very happy about that. ha! oh well, good time though.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all FTE!

Sounds like we've all bailed out and left Jerry alone today... Hey, is the ghost still giving you fits or did you figure out the problem you had the other day?

yeah it was a good time. was seated on Husker side next to all the players families. We were straight up from the endzone. Was actually good seat as the Husker were making plays right down there and scoring! First QTR/half for that matter took forever! 2nd half was great! Clemson side had to full sections on top level that were empty but it looked like the Husker top section was pretty much full. Beers were $7 inside the stadium.

BTW.. Congrat's Rob on getting the house closed on! I'm sure it is nice to be back in your own place!

But, sounds like a fun time anyway... I might actually enjoy a live football game if it was warm outside. I froze at a Denver Bronco game a few years ago, also a University of Pittsburgh game. Not fun.

yea for the most part i have it figured out. Gave it a tune up and it runs 110% better and the exhaust leak died down alot. JB welded the egr holes on the heads to stop that leak. Eats fuel like crazy now, need to readjust the timing and the carb, doing it by ear since i dont have a timing light and it was running good before with having fould plugs but now its running way to rich. will do that here in a little bit. I have a phsical to go take tomorrow morning for Sapps in CB. Hopefully ill start friday(tenative) if all goes well.

Well Dallas,
im glad you had a great time. Nice to know that the Husker Faithful made a showing. Kids are Texas fans so college football season gets kind of interesting here.

Well i have to run and take oldest to work, ill talk to you all later tonight, if im not the only one here again. Im begining to think that you all only talk when im not around. LMAO JK

Hey Jerry, hope that new job works out for you this time!

I probably won't be around here this evening, internet/cable hookup at the new place is tomorrow and I go cross-eyed trying to chat on here using the cell phone.

Hey has anyone around here ever done their garage floor in epoxy paint? Just wondering how hard that process might be... Home Depot makes it sound easy and that scares me. lol I'm thinking I'd like to do mine before it gets too messed up from dirty vehicles.

Hello all. Hey Rob that epoxy is great and it is that easy. Just make sure you don't have any grease on there.
