Well, everyone it looks like I'm self-employed!

Got the bid for 18,994.98 on the year.

Season is April 15-October 15. Now I need to get my truck set up with an 8 way round plug and a brake controller.

Dang. Where was this hotel at,..so I know where NOT to stay when I am in Dallas?

Bashed Tail Gate

This is so hilarious, but I fear that it's going to hit him all at once, and he wont have a opportunity to get up and run to the bathroom.
Howdy and welcome to our BS thread.

Don't feel bad about the tailgate. I put a nice 2' crease in my bed on the passenger's side just before the rear wheel well. Split rail fence didn't make it out of that one I fear. LOL

My dad ate an entire bag of WOW potato chips one time. Um..yeah..they work good. You could always go get a bag of those! That'll make him chit big time.

a couple of words that describe me, gregarious, ethical, extrovert.
I'm wondering why the highlighted portion in red was necessary information, not that I'm complaining...

I've never seen anyone describe themselves as gregarious.

One word to describe me: cantankerous. LOL

Went okay. Pays good and unbeatable benefits. Graduate school still starts the 25th so I'm hoping I'll be able to pull off full time work + school.

Congrats Pete! Just got back from lunch at Tokyo Joe's (local chain) - 'fastfood Japanese' is how they describe it, but it's really good. I got the Big bowl today, so I'm feeling a nap coming on.... LOL

Sounds like a deal! No irritating people to deal with.

Here's a few pics:

The Colorado sunrise yesterday morning somewhere near Fort Morgan. Boy do I miss seeing that.



I rolled over 180,000 as I was leaving town at the buttcrack of dawn:



This was Mexican Train Dominoes Saturday night. Left to right that is my brother Russ, brother-in-law Dean (both are diesel heads) and my older sister Nicole.
