I can see your dads point. Why pay $ 300.00 for something you can have your young-in do for free. Your dads a smart man.

Too bad when he files them they cut crooked.

You start the saw off vertically and it cuts to either the left or right when he files a chain.

Replaced the chain and it straightened right back out again.

Lisa: I'm watching the History Channel and apparently Iowa produces the most corn out of any state in the US and the US provides 40% of the world's corn supply. Apparently you're in one of the corniest places on earth.

I have Verizon also,4 phones plus 2 Internets. Mine is around $325.00 a month. We have 2100 minutes. I don't have a house phone,so thats the main one I use. Unlimited text is a must to have...lol

Of course I have the lowest Verizon plan with a buffer of texts just in case I text to people who arent "in". All my friends are "in" so I use maybe 15 minutes a month that are billable...then the 450 absorbs them!

He really doesn't talk on it all that much during the day that I hear, he mainly text from what I have seen in the last 2 months.

He is on Verizon also. Troy and I are on a shared plan with AT&T or Cingular, whoever they are this year, I have the crackberry data plan and we still only pay $100 for both phones.

Hey y'all. Just got back from visiting a college both yesterday and today. Yesterday I got a ride in a DP tuned truck! It was incredible. Too bad his clutch was slipping so he couldn't get full power to the ground

Man that looks just like some stuff I saw on Destroyed in Seconds the other day. It didnt end well. The hill even looked the same. I'd do it in a second though.

I left dad a message asking him to bring home the firewood marker, but I don't know if he will get the message.

Here's what I'm talking about: Bailey's - The Mingo Marker Firewood Marker

It's a pretty simple device, but it works very well for what it needs to do. Basically the wheel just has a bump on the side with a spring loaded lever that presses the nozzle of the paint can.

Edit for Ray: It probably was operator error. I'm not even close to understanding how half of those saws work. I just know how I'm supposed to start it, how to shut it off, how the chainbrake works, and pulling the trigger makes it go more faster.
I have cut so much fire wood that I'm actually pretty good at the lengths. I almost ordered my Husky from Baileys. They had the cheapest price that I found but that was at the same time Husky made it so that you could only buy in person at a dealer(no on line orders) or some crap like that.

He told me that he doesn't worry about it so I shouldn't either, I told him he was right and it was his money so I won't worry anymore about it.

Thanks for letting me vent for a min
Dang, I only pay $190 a month for 2 phones and internet. Thats with my Crackberry data plan.

When I was younger and living at home with only a vehicle payment and a cell phone bill I didnt worry about stuff either.....Except how many BC's I was going to have to take before I went to bed, to cure a hangover.

You should visit Eastern Iowa this summer.

The amount of corn is unreal. Hundreds of miles of it. Rolling green hills of nothing but corn.

It really is very beautiful here in the summer. When I first came here I likened it to Super Mario Brother's land. Rolling green hills, fluffy white clouds and blue sky.

It would STINK to be one of these guys.

YouTube - Top 20 soccer (football) misses

Almost as much as scoring on your own team.

By show of hands who has scored on their own team and will NEVER live it down?

*Raises hand*

I play left fullback and I was sprinting to catch a sent ball and I had a guy right behind me. I got there and tried to spin around to face the right way and kick it while I was coming around. Except I mis-kicked and our goalie was right behind me. He hadn't called the ball so I figured he was still in the net.

The coach said at half time that it was the goalie's fault and not mine, but it's still me who won't live it down.

And that brings me to another point:

Why the HELL do coaches think that just because someone is a Senior instead of say a Sophomore it makes them a better athlete. The kid who was playing goalie that game is a Senior. He messed up his ankle part way through the season. He was on crutches for 2 months. Our season is only from September - November. November is tournament time. We had another goalie who was a Sophomore (my grade) who played much smarter than the Senior. Yet coach decided to play the Senior even though he'd only practiced with us for like half a practice before that game after he was off his crutches. He got halfway through the practice and started puking like crazy.
