yeah...it's 12 foot (3.65m)deep on both ends and 5 foot (1.5m) in the middle.

they do this free scuba trial once a month.

Sunday they are going to the lake, my brother and a few others need practice for scuba master certification. I plan to go with them.

hey Cris, i read an article in the paper today about a new treatment for chronic severe headaches. it uses an extract from a common plant found in the southern states.

i forget what it is, but it is something like eukidna.

maybe this will work for you, if you can figure out what it is.

Well let me tell you folks about my afternoon.....

I had to do some running around after work and decided i would stop and get me some food, which took for friggin ever.....slow azz drivethru. So I get my food and I'm sitting at the stop light waiting to get out and I see a cop sitting across the road, one car back, waiting to turn the other way. My light turns and his right after. I heading up the road and check my sideviews(love the '08 tow mirrors), hes coming up behind me. I knew then he was after me. I couldnt figure out what the hell I'd done. So I get the blue light special. I pull into a parking and he comes up and gives me the run down and tells me he's pulling me over for window tint. Window tint! WTF!! As I'm handing him my registration I tell him to be my guest and check it(with a smartazz smirk). He goes to run my registration and while hes doing that he comes back with his little meter and sticks it on my window. You guys should have seen the look on his face when it said I was LEGAL!!!
I had to give him the I told you so look. He then apologizes and sends me on my way. He was actually fairly nice compared to other guys that have pulled me over.

So here is the kicker. He was sitting in the exact same spot as the cop that got me for my window tint on a Ford ranger I had back in '99. But wait it gets better....In '99 I was caught on my way to work one morning while I was on spring break. Guess what.....spring break is this week here for our schools.

I'm pretty d@mn sure that it was a Tuesday that I got caught. Hows that for a coinky dink?

I am going to try to get dad to take me down to look at the 95 7.3 one more time just to give it a quick look over before we do anything with it.

We got a front axle for a dually conversion already. We got it for free off a guy we know who we gave a totaled truck to.

I'm thinking we're going to get the tires and rims off another totaled truck we had.

Both were totaled by the same guy but at least they'll get put to use now.

Currently it's a 95 F350 SRW 4x4 with service body and fisher plow mount.

We're going to put duals on it and then an aluminum flatbed and 5th wheel hitch. Then either an 8' straight blade Fisher or, what I'm angling for, a Fisher V-plow. Then hopefully all in time we'll get an Airflo sander for it too.

A Whelen light bar is going to have to go on too.

Sorry for being on-topic in the OT thread, guys!
I still need to call you but my dumb @$$ Keeps forgetting.

Well I have all this week off so any time this week is good.

We need a tracked skid though. I spent my day in the CAT and the CAT spent its day in the mud.

We have to get material screened and to the town, but the fines conveyor belt is shot. Pieces started ripping out and long shreds came out.

We cut the belt and pulled it totally off and jacked up the end of the screen and I scooped the material out from under it and stockpiled it with the CAT.

Except it was muddy and I kept getting hung up. We need a tracked machine.

I did my open water dive in one of our lakes here, they are horrible to dive in. How long has your brother been diving?

I am willing to try anything at this point. I have an appointment with a pain management center later this month and am waiting to hear back from another Neuro surgeon to go over my scans with. I just don't by that I have a 24 week migraine that doesn't respond to migraine meds.
