I can't touch the ball with my hands. There's plenty of other things you an use your hands for. In football everybody's chasing ***** all the time.

Let's keep in mind that I have a dark blue PowerStroke too.

I requested that Admins send a broadcast PM to all CT residents notifying them of the new chapter.

You all have to work hard on building your numbers.

I bought it at a small used car lot in Rhode Island for 7,300$. My dad owns a small construction/sitework company that I'm very involved in. We just hired our first full-time employee in August. We aren't one of the more wealthy companies. We run old equipment, but it gets the job done. I've been driving Ford trucks since I was 8 years old. A Ford F350 with an old 7.3 diesel was the first vehicle I ever drove solo.

What's everyone think of the snow we're supposed to be getting tomorrow? I'm thinking I'll get the day off school, which means I get the day ON work. Mainly running an old nasty GMC plow truck cleaning up around our base of operations in East Haven.


The first truck I drove when I was 8 picking up hay in the field was a 1967 F-350 Rack body with a 390 and no power steering
