I think I'm a little low, I started out with fifty this morning, I've deleted my delete box twice today and I still have 31 in there right now. So I was not counting the ones through out the day. There mostly notifications of replies to posts in forums and PM's. most of the PM's I have to refer them to my "contact us link" on my web page and then I get another email saying I have a message pending. a lot of double work some times.

so today I would think I got 70/80 but I don't have to respond back to each one. thank god. I wouldn't be able to do the other parts of my job.

I get so buried in paper work and end of month is really brutal.

In all seriousness I couldn't imagine running a 200k lb machine all day every day. I'm sure the novelty of it wears off after a while, but dang. That's a lot of machine. You could probably load a triaxle in 2 or 3 buckets at most. I bet I could've loaded our triaxle in 10 buckets or so from the 330. And that's really packing it right in.
with the big bucket on the 330D, i can load a triaxle with sand in 6 buckets.
the 325 zero clearance will do it in 5.
and the 345 will do it in 3.

Man have things changed. I've been through about 20 phones since then and have had the best luck out of Motorolas.
Most of mine were Motorola too. I had one Nokia striaght phone and now this blackberry are the only two that were'nt motorola.

Im trying too, been raining heavy at least a few hrs for the past week and a half.

And it sits WAY higher in the front than in the rear from what I can see.

Also: Note the STOCK exhaust hanging under there.

I'm really hoping that is a Photoshopped set of pictures, but it doesn't look like it.
I agree, whats the point of that?

The front looks like that because theres no bumper.

Its got duals on it.

I dont think it is either.
