Heck yes! Only down side is the hour we gained in the fall will be gone. At least I'll be on spring break then.

That is good the school does some hands on stuff. Our local got rid of the automotive class and wanted to cut metals and woodworking and prob did. They used to build a house a year and do not do that any more. They say there is not enough interest but the world is not going to run on computer programmers. Someone has to do physical labor, it would be nice to prepare someone. I went to school for a Mec engineer and it did not work out but I had enough background in welding and construction to get a job with decent pay and not have to start on the bottom. Kind of a rant but smart physical labor will always be needed.

Good Morning Steve and everyone! Wow were on pg 4 and it is only the 3rd day of the month. This must be a record, I hope our fearless chapter leader is checking this out! LOL
I am on my way Jay. Whats on the menu for today?
That is cool that they do all this stuff. I used to be in FFA myself but I dont think it was as active as it is now which is great!
I know I cant wait for the time to change!
Morning Mike, go ahead and rant becasue I agree with you. We need the physical labor in this world or it will all be over with. But all it seems they want to stress in school these days is computers but a computer aren't going to build my house for me.

I like mac & cheese. My wife doesn't though so I don't have it very often. Maybe tonight.
I have seen one person out on a motorcycle already yesterday and a buddy called the day before to say he had seen someone. Morons. Mine does not come out until the snow is melted and it has rained really good once to wash the salt off the roads. It cost way too much to subject my bike to that crap.

Mine went pretty good. I was doing a little work on my '94 today and noticed my rear shocks are missing the bushings. Nobody in town had replacement ones so they are ordered. Its always something but it also gives me something to tinker on. So is the ranger in you avatar the only truck you have? Looks like a nice one!
