Thanks Caleb, yea I can buy and sell anything that is not bolted down. Sometimes it is cheeper to just buy it yourself local but if you need something and have a few days to wait you can always let me know via the contact us link from my web site. I would compare it to OEM and if I can sell the OEM part for about the same price I recomend buying the OEM part. but since this is the OT we should do this via a PM.

Only other thing I notice about your freezer is the amount of ice cream...LOL!
1 pint and 1 half gallon is not "a lot of ice cream"

i don't drink anymore either. those bottles are 9 years old.
and i bet it will take another 9 years to empty them.
i may have a jack and coke or a so-co and coke once every 6 months now

Totally random question:

Anyone have a TomTom? When I rode down to Gettysburg with my buddy and his dad they had one in their car. It seemed to be a pretty cool system.

I can get one that has maps of the US, Canada, and Mexico for like 250 bucks. 4.3" touch screen

In the month I've had my license I've already made a couple trips I wish I had a GPS for. Some roads around here aren't marked worth poo.

i have a tomtom one that the kids got me for christmas Pete. it is very good. cost $100 on sale.

only problem is i never use it, because i know all the roads.
in 6 months, i have used it one time.

Some people never learn do they, Tom?

You would think after surviving that he would want to change his life just a little bit. My real mom is the same way, was trashed and wrapped her car around a telephone pole. If I would have been with her I am sure I would have been killed. She is still a drunk 20 years later and I have no hope of that ever changing.

Hey y'all. Finished mowing and then decided to work on my jet ski.

Bad move.

It's hot and humid out there and I about passed out. Susan found me struggling and made me come in to cool down.

Trying to think of a way that I can con Susan into going out there and finishing what I started...

Spray water all over the back of your shirt and put up a fan, Scott.
I know it won't be much in all the humidity, but it might help you finish your job.

I think so too. We looked at one yesterday that had a natual gas powered whole house generator. The garage was air conditioned too.

Nice.

Thanks, Cris. I just went back out and tried again and it's just too much. I am back inside again, cooling down. Chest is pounding.

I am going to try a wet shirt and see if that helps. I only need another hour and I'm done.

Changing wheels out on the trailer.
