Nah. I'll stick with the girls from CT.

The girls from WI have fathers who are farmers. That means they have guns and know how to use them. And they have hundreds of acres to hide your body on.

I'll stick with CT thank you very much.

This girl is born and raised in the city and I don't think her dad hunts.

Hey everyone!

Had a good day today. Installed my DP tuner, I've been out playing all day. Ridden in tuned trucks before but its just so much different when its your own. The power is....amazing to say the least. Gets a little squirrely in the race tune, I need tires pretty bad.

Also got the lawn mowed (an acres worth!)

I washed the truck and vaccumed out the inside, total detailing. Had some rust on the inside of one of my doors so I got it cleaned up and put some rustoleum on there to try and slow it down a bit, got my weatherstripping put on that StrokerAce sent me (hence why I have the rust)....also cleaned and sprayed my oil pan with Rustoleum just for preventative measures, and got half the truck waxed. Other half tomorrow.

Also going to rent a tiller tomorrow to move some dirt around, and plant some veggies.

Thanks I clean up real nicely, problem is I hate wearing real nice clothes, I prefer jeans a t-shirt and a hoodie sweat shirt.
I thought she looked really pretty that night, too damn bad I was nervous as hell and she has her eye on different guys. I just wish I could impress her enough to give me a chance.

Just got back from watching Xmen Origins: Wolverine. Pretty decent flick actually. Action was good if not mind-blowing, but the sound kept getting messed up, which sucked.

Think I'm gonna crash early, set the alarm, and get up to bike & run in the AM. Now that I'm back in MD I'm feeling like I should get back to doing triathlons and some hard climbing. It's good to be back home. (Although Scott makes a great case for Texas!)

Jacob Just be yourself. If she's not impressed enough by that then she is not the one for you. There are plenty if other girls out there that will like you for being you.

Thanks Jim, I've heard about her going to other cities in the area looking for guys with two other girls, I think that she is looking for the right guy just like I'm looking for the right girl. I think that if she would just give me a chance she would find what she is looking for. I don't know maybe I'm just barking up the wrong tree.
