Not bad as far as i know Im 6-9, at the half way point in the season. We got a dual meet on thursday where we are pretty much guarrenteed to win, unless they some how come up with a full team. Then we got a fun tourney on saturday that i took 1st place in in the silver bracket(gold is where you win your first two matches silver is where you win the first one and loose the second one bronze is where you loose your first match and win the second and copper is when you loose both of your first two matches.) so I'm hoping i can come home with first place in either the gold or silver bracket.

Morning.



In my opinion it ain't supposed to be that cold anywhere.

WTH are Dr. Dentons? I have two pairs of insulated bibs I'll wear if its super cold and if I have to be outside for any extended amount of time.

Without buns, I'd fall over. Counterweight.
once apon a long long long long time ago, one piece thermals with the butt flap like you saw in the old movies were called DR. Dentons.

That sounds awesome. Congrats on the silver...and congrats in advance for winning the gold this Saturday. I know you can do it.

OOOOhhh those! Haha that reminds me of that movie with Will Smith in it, Wild Wild West. There was this scene with Selma Hayek wearing some of those, WITH the butt flap open.

I would totally wear a pair of those. I love pajamas.

In that case I guess I should turn the a/c on...it was 16F when I walked out to fire up the truck. The schools just to the north of us are closed yet again...something about snow/ice covering the roads.

Dan, I like that...one of your toys?

Running around outside without a shirt on during winter...got to be a Canadian thing, eh? I wouldn't have gone out there in the first place...but then I've been called a wimp a couple of times before.

A butt load on the Truck, it was a company truck the first 10 years per car fax... so it must have been taken care of cause it drives purdy good.

I've been told the motor only has about 55k on it.

I did the poor man blow by test, flip over oil cap on valve cover to see if it blew off and never moved.

Please refrain from making me use that smiley for you again.

1: It's a truck. Trucks do work. The inside of the bed gets banged up. That's how it works.

2: It's PMS not PSM. Powerstroke Modification Syndrome.

It's ok, Edmo. We'll learn you real good bout them thar diesels.

so not Power Stoke Modification check.

PMS ooooooook

1. Def check the tranny fluid(common I know) and a fluid flush may be in order!

2. Dont listen to little Pete! My truck does lots of work, but the line-x in the back protected it really nicely from dents and whatnot!

Line-x er up and dont worry bout it again!

it is line X, the bed is a little warpy and I never really listen to Petey..

So the guy traded you the truck for your Jeep? Heck, that's better than what most guys get for their wives when they trade 'em in at 36.
yep Straight up trade......


Clay is going to give it the once over, take a bunch of my money and do a few mods right away. DP tuner and gauges and check the trans out and get it detailed and the linex fixed.

And maybe up pipes and what ever else he has lying around,,,

I have a feeling I'm going to have a huge bill from Clay.....

Nobody ever does, Ed.

Tell ya what, Edmo. You drive out to CT (bring haylee) with the truck and I'll do all your mods for free so long as you provide the parts. Except gauges... I don't do electrical. Guaranteed good since I made all my screw-ups on my own truck and now know how to do it.

Note: If directions in parentheses aren't followed then no go.
