That is fantastic Brandon!! I would love to get my chicks into a school like that.

Have a great time at the lake this weekend with your family!!

He did tell me once that his folks (my grandparents) could only afford one pair of shoes per year. Dad would get in trouble for being out and playing too long, because he'd literally run the soles off of his shoes and grandma would get all pissed off. lol.

Didn't scroll up far enough Brandon, great school, just goes to show what kids can do, and restores faith in how our future generations will carry on.

Tom has met one of my daughters and we try to instill a sense of self pride and common courtesy, then hope for the best and they had some pretty interesting conversations. I think our kids just might have a chance in the future.

Lisa, its Rampage, my normal camping buddy.

Scott the menu was great until you ruined it with soda pop... Dammit man, brew up some sweet tea, or make some homemade lemonade just as any self respecting southern chef would do.
You do get extra points for rattlin snake on the menu though.

i am going to finally get rid of what is left of the old front steps into the house today.
then it is play with the truck time. i want to get the modified back rack back on with the light bar and arrowstick back on it and wired up, the F650 dash with carling switches in, the air compressor in, and the train horns mounted.

and if i have any time left, take the flame thrower to all the damn trees to get rid of the pollen.

all my vehicles are green, and i have been sneezing and my eyes have been watering and itchy for a week now.
