I generally consider myself a pretty smart fella, but youd think I would learn not to wear a good quality white t shirt when I do those things!
i don't have that problem. i learned years ago to only buy dark colored pocket T shirts. they hide stains real good.

i tried to go to the store this morning for the first time in over a week, and every single vehicle i own has dead batteries.

Good point.

The 2nd comment has me intrigued.

I go out to Happy Hours downtown during football game weekends. They always have cheerleaders, etc. out giving away junk, and this quite often include t-shirts. Currently I have a pair of black Ravens t-shirts that I only wear when working on a vehicle. Other good "free t-shirt" times are holidays like Cinco de Mayo, Halloween, etc. - the beer girls always have crap you don't want, but occasionally something decent.

I never did have to cut weight, but thats how you do it, just not eat? Here I thought a guy just kinda sweated off the extra water, lost weight quickly that way.

Either which way man that would be tough to do, my hats off to ya!

Glad to hear your feeling better. Do you have one of the vehicles on a trickle charger?

That 27 lbs is probably a lot of water weight.

Its always helpful to have the extra boost, and something to differentiate you from the other candidates...to make you stand apart. Being noticed is key!!! Good luck.

Indeed.

One of the shirts I still wear for wrenching is an old button up shirt of his...has welding hole burns in the corner on the front. haha.

Made a little course for my 110 CC racing Quad out back in the woods. Being easily amused really does pay off!

You would be surprised what you can do with a 4x2 Quad. Haha!!

Wow. I just realized it's been just about a year since I joined FTE and bought my PSD.

I brought her home the day before my boss's Christmas party last year and that's coming up this Sunday. Seems like it was yesterday I was taking her for the first test drive.

I've been around here for seven years and a month now, and just recently got to where my post rate got above 1 per day.


So, when there's nothing to be said, I'm the guy not saying it.
