Guess I haven't been on here for abit. Damned nephew you're leaving to come home tomorrow, be safe.. You'll be just fine. Far as a g2g I like it out at Rich's place, maybe we can hit the playground by his house. Did'nt even get to see the boy when he was home the last two times.
I made it through my first week and a half back to work. Found out on the first old Freightliner that I can't do heavy trucks anymore. Had another talk with the surgeon. He won't do surgery untill I can't stand the pain. He and the Physical Therapist are both telling me it's time for a carreer change. I''ve allready had three surgery's. All work related, each time I was told "It's time for a carreer change" What's a guy to do????

Hello all, yea I'm outa here tomorrow, thursday 20th @ 08:00 Kabul to Dubai. Me and Penny would be happy to host a G2G, I could borrow a extra grill, and use my secret marinade.
And will ck out the off road park right down the road, as soon as I am home. Its a campground/off road park on private property. Its in Fairplay which is 32 north of Spg, 7 west of Bolivar.
Unk Bob, better listen to those doc's and take heed to there advice. We need you up in good running order and mean that. Time to transition to a brain job, not so much a back job.
Ha Bob we gonna meet at Spg swap meet again? I get the push guard deal this time. lol Me and Penny are gonna hit it 07:00 Sat and prob sunday to get all the great deals.
Let me know,ok.

Cool looking forward to seeing you and Tim. Well I found one on Knoxville Tn craigslist and got burned on it, wizzed away $150, yea my dumbarse payed up front for it +shipping, and still haven't got it. It all seemed like a true deal, even talked to the guys mom about it.

I am back, me and Penny did a pre inspection at the swap today and found some 460 stainless L&L headers, with a set of bolt on stainless pipes with flowmasters.
So ........ We are going back down to do a complete inspection for all the good Ford parts, lol.
We will be there pretty close to 7:00 am any body want to meet up call us on my cell 334-447-0048 If there is a factory push guard and bumper, I get it this time.

Windshield Time
Since I'm on restrictions and got cought again standing around at work (I usually do that) I was given some windshield time. I knew they were going to send somebody to Clinton to meet a driver from KC for some tires. I was sure that was it.
Nope, it was a little further than that. Garner Iowa to be exact, just a couple hundred miles from being in Minnisota....... We have two trucks that have crain's on them for large tires. Both were down. And the nearest that was ready was in garner. No offence if any of you are their. But leave, and leave now. There's not even a Wallymart within 60 miles. I looked.
Home safe and sound, gonna take ait to recoupe from the ride from the 04 FL50.

Ha Unk Bob, yea by the time we made it back from St Louie getting that trailer, the swap meet was shut down.
Looks like I am on the road again today, my aunt is in the hospital in KC so the family is heading north, probably stay the night cause tuesday they are taking her off ventilator?
Will keep you 'all posted, might have some time to hit my KC craigslist list?
