I believe tossing this summer away is a better deal than tossing away your mobility.

Most of the overhead from the state line to at least Norwalk were replaced.

work sucks, but its good to hear you have some!

i have been fortunate/cursed to have some overtime at work. extra money is good, but the likelihood of me killing someone grows every extra minute i am there.

i see we have R@!N again. AWESOME! the rain has been great for the hay and other crops, now if only the fields would dry up so we could cut.....

Having work is GREAT Aaron.

I thought you were fired???

We launch our rockets in hayfields and sod farms.
Without good drying weather it doesn't get cut...

I'm sick of this $#!*!!!

Good morning Ray

Guys I had an idea for a Sept GTG.
They have diesel drags and truck show in Englishtown NJ and the bus co. I went with last weekend said if we got a group of people that want to go they would run a bus down for us.
The date is Sept 19th.
