Thanks Sheldon. It's gotta be because of a PSD I fell in love with years ago.

Hey everyone. I hate sinus colds, at wrestling practice my friend comes up to me and asks if I got punched in both eyes since I have rings around my eyes. everyone around me just looks at him like he's a DA, but we give him a break since he is very slow.

We all did it... what's funny to me is we were A LOT worse a couple months ago and everything was fine then, now we use a few colorful words and get in trouble.

Yes you do, not sure what I do well. We could exchange pics and you can let me know

Thank you too, Cris.

Those 7.3's are pretty much indestructible. Still at the top of my list over the 6.0 and 6.4.

At the rate we've been getting snow lately, probably sooner than I was planning.

If you guys are going to move stuff, it would be good to know why. But either way, point taken on the language. Again, we're all adults. All you had to do was say we've been pushing it, and we all need to clean up the language. Problem solved. So why was it moved back here?
That's two separate issues. The language thing came to a head very rapidly, and in hindsight I should have taken the time to clean that last thread up instead of tossing it. I may have overreacted there.

Since I don't know who moved this thread I wouldn't want to hazard a guess as to why. Best guess is a simple miscommunication since not all of the mod/supermod/admin are on the same page all the time. I'm not aware of any new issues anyway.

Yeah, 7.3s are some manly-man trucks, but there are some really REALLY hot women owners, too...

I went from a '84 Mustang GT Conv with 351W/C6 to a Bronco, to a Ranger, to my current truck seen below. I've been around diesels most of my life, but never owned one. After I started seeing some of the guys tricking theirs out, I got hooked. It just took me a while to find MINE. I hope you find yours soon! You won't be disappointed!! My favorite thing is to surprise some of the young fart-cannon drivers and educate them about exactly how fast a 7200lb truck can be. That, and Mustang drivers are fun, too. But I can't always beat them. Some I can, some I can't.

Yeah. No problem about the sig quote. Me and my friends are thinking of building a racquet ball court in my barn and also turning it into a party barn for the summer. Hey Brent I have a few questions on framing for the racquet ball court. If you had to frame a wall that was higher than 8' tall, let's say 16' tall how would you build it? (BTW the racquet ball court is 20' wide by 40' long by 20" high.)
