Ask whats up. he said I can't come in the park. WTF? said they were after someone that was shooting a gun. (was a camper firing a few rounds off) and they made a big deal of it. Then the S.O.B started looking over my Jeep and said I was lifted to high that the bumper can only be 27in off the ground, my tire stuck out to far etc etc, I told him he was no fun to talk to and I would just leave, he then told me my Jeep was impound-able the way it is. I know I need fender flares but every single jeep in this state is lifted and no way is anyones bumper within 27in. The guy bumped his head, anyway thats why I really went home, dude bum me out and I wanted to get as far away from him as possible.

Wife said she moving out on Thursday.

Haylee my youngest, won best of show on her Science project and her Pig was name champion at the county fair in her weight class, So she will get to go to Nationals again this year.

Anyone know a place to get some bushwacker fender flares for a good price, used would be a plus. 2001 Cherokee 4 door? I'll check ebay later today.

Also my other Daughter started Culinary school a few weeks ago and is starting to bring home some good eats. yummmm


Thats all I got right now. I got to get some of this paper work done. grrrr

Ed
Sux about camping and the wife Ed. Good deal on the girls!

Afternoon y'all, today sucked a$$. 1st I couldn't find my meds for helping me with my ADD problem, 2nd I was cleaning up my welds on some steps I made for my dad's chevy and a bunch of %#%@%#$#%@ A$$%#^es kept unplugging my $@#%@# grinder so I had to keep replugging it in, I started cussing and flipped out on those A$$#*!es. At least my shop teacher is understanding and I didn't get written up for cussing in shop class. But on the bright side the templates for the 6637 airbox Jim sent me came in the ail today. More work to do in shop class Woohooo!!!

That stinks, Jake.

Sounds like someone in shop class needs their chair's leg "modified" a little bit.

I'm assuming that since they had time to keep unplugging your grinder they were just sitting around.

I don't really know though. My school has no shop class.

Hey, Ed... when I got my Street Style Bushwackers back at the end of December, 4Wheel Online had the best pricing I could find....

(Jeep Fender Flares, Lowest Prices on Jeep Fender Flares).

Hope this helps.

nice find, I pulled along side another Jeeper on Sat and he said he got his set off Craigs list for $125. I checked and no one has any listed.

Yeah they have lots of time to sit on their lazy a$$ and not do **** except **** on other people that work their asses off trying to get stuff finished, so they can go on to another project that they have been waiting for a while to get started on.

Yea my brother always complained about the jerks that just sit around.

They take shop because they need a couple extra credits and they think it will be an easy class. He said the guidance councilors tell them it will be an easy credit.

He told me their final exam was like changing tires (on and off the rim) and doing a set of brakes. I was in middle school at the time and I could do all that stuff. He said some kids failed it.

Dont worry about the cop Ed, seems like some of them are just plain asses, and try to use their "power" to the max. He probably got beat on as a kid and takes it out on others now!

Kinda funny a parts guy asking others where to find parts haha made me laugh

Do you have a pic of your jeep? My woman and I have had two grand cherokee's (99 and 01) and they actuall werent half bad!

Haha I love your last sentence in the description of your jeep!
Looks like it would be a hell of a lot of fun. We used to put a mattress in the back, fold down the seats and sleep right in ours. It was fun for heading out into the mountains and whatnot.

My history teacher showed me this video in Study Hall today. I thought it was pretty funny.

YouTube - Flip Throw To Face

Before you go saying it's mean that I laughed I'd like to point out the following:

1: I've been hit in the face by a full-force kick (much harder than a flip throw) and it doesn't hurt bad enough to go down unless you're a complete pansy.

2: The kid who got hit should've known better than to stand right in front of the kid throwing it.
