I have my pressure tank at my well in a cement casing, it froze there. I had a heat lamp on in it but that didnt do any good.

I liked both of those movies.
Just imagine doing it after being "sloshed". Your blood is thin as heck anyway after that. We had spent 2 hours cutting some woven wire fence of the drive shaft so the truck would move. Then we lost one front axle and kept trying to make it up the hill until the other one crapped the bed. My buddy called his wife to come get us and we kinda took a wrong turn and wound up walking all the way to his house. Lets just say his wife wasn't to enthused about it us not coming home until after daylight. The whole ordeal happened on his place and she still got pissed. All in good fun though. Me and this guy have been good friends for years and that's just the type of chit we get into.
Well we got my Toyota going again. Went ahead and put in new ball joints and wheel bearings.

I think anything is dangerous in a heeler, at least everything was in my blue girl. She could clear a room quicker than any man I know.

I never took a final my sophomore and junior year in hs, we had this incentive that if you had perfect attendance you had no finals....I had finals my senor year.

If my kids were in hs they would of had finals last week.

We had the same thing but it was only for juniors and seniors. You had to have an A in the class and couldnt missed class more than 5 times. Then when the SOL(Standards of learning) tests came along if you passed those you could exempt the exams no matter what. It was an attempt of our school system to bribe us to do well in order to look good in the states eyes to get more funding! It worked...haha
