Oh, and if you're going to VA, MD is on the way.... just sayin'...

I want an Arbor snowboard so that in summer I can have it on the wall and it will match with the rest of my furniture... hawaiian koa wood topsheet... gorgeous

i picked up a 21gal air compressor, 100' hose, 25' hose on a reel, and some air tools a few weeks back for $170. Sad thing was the guy selling it comes out to meet me drinking a beer, his brother is smoking, and they're selling this stuff because their electricity got shut off.... how is it people can be on the edge of eviction but yet have cigarette & beer money???

Hey everyone,

Drove the Z car to work today. Man I forget how much fun that car is. It'll do all the things my truck won't...like turn on a dime and fit in small spaces. I love the limited slip feature when I take a corner too hard.

Have a Dr's appt in a few hours. Booo!

I like that black craftsman. Right now I have three toolboxes, not including the gun cleaning and maintenance toolbox that is just for gun stuff.

I have a mechanic buddy with a custom order set of purple craftsman toolboxes and those things are nice.

Appt is at 10:15. I gotta find the place too, never been there before, that's the worst part. I will let you all know if they find anything. If we don't find anything upon exam I am going to request blood tests. I know my body pretty well and I know something isn't right.

I love my truck to death, but its fun to drive something different. And, my truck is powerful and pretty damn fast, so my standards are pretty high. The Z car meets those standards. Every now and again I have to drive someone else's car, like when I am out of town with my family or someone had a few too many to drink. I find myself yelling at the car..GO GO GO GO GO you SLOW SON OF A *****!

I'll tell ya, a small rolling toolbox is great for gun supplies, for the brushes, tools and cleaners.

I love this pic, its nice to see im not the only one that piles crap ontop of my tool box lol. I only have one tiny roller toolbox for now, no shop built yet to store any others.


Now regarding little sportscars. Im a huge mustang fan. My era is the 87-93. Ive been thinking alot lately about getting one (I was gonna get a convertible this summer but that never happened and Im gonna get one soon enough anyways) and doing a bunch of suspension upgrades to it, so it handles almost as well as those little foreign sports cars.

I wonder if it would ever be comparible handling wise?

Also definately gonna go with a supercharged engine, I want that thing to fly!
