Thanks Jay! Yeah he remembers. The girl you see is also a good friend and she is who he lost the bet too. Otherwise it would have been her jumping in. I think I would have rather seen that...but oh well. We like to bring it up and remind him of the video quite often. He handles it well though.

We certainly like to have a good time. Yeah the distance can be a pain sometimes for hanging out. We will certainly have a good time at the camping GTGand the best part is we dont have to worry about driving home!

Morning everyone.

An alpaca herd Jay? Do you have room for them?

I hope the wife does not see them, or I will have an Alpaca herd. Heck, I went to Canada fishing back in 2008 and came home to a billy goat in the yard.

Troy,

If you need help with that tranny count me in. I have removed and installed a couple before, but have done more clutches, but by no means do I really know what I am doing.

I thought of you Terry when I posted that ad. I don't have that kind of scratch either or I would buy one for that "just in case" scenario.

I have been told I am a little opinionated before...they can jump off a cliff if they don't agree with me

You going to be in town all weekend Miles? If you have any free time maybe some of us can meet up for a beer or coffee? Feel free to call me. My cell is 763-232-7454

No Lee I do not think Maple Grove would approve of the herd in my yard...or the wife for that matter. That is pretty funny about the goat.

Yeah Jay, The goat is pretty funny. When I got home I saw it tied up, the wife came out and said look. I proceeded to unhook the goat from the chain while my wife was saying don't he will run away. I said, good, then we won't have to feed him. Well the goat did not run away, he is a pet more than livestock. I built about a .5 acre pen for him to be in, but he kept getting out and running up to the house and standing out side the back door baahhing the whole time. He is really wild.

I have not been back to Canada fishing since. I a, afraid of what will be at home next if I went.

Morning everyboy!! Since it hasn't been said yet TGIF!!!!!!!

Jay I have a buddy that lives in Maple Grove so maybe you two could each take half of that herd of alpacas. LOL Think of the gallons of poop you would be cleaning up then!

Hey Lee thanks for the offer on the help I appreciate that! I have a few things I am selling and if they sell I should have the money for a new tranny! Then we can have a tranny party. That goat story is great. I would be scared to leave too. Maybe that is her way of keeping you home.

At least the goat was free, it is better than when she goes shopping.

Yeah that is true!! My wife likes to text me what she spent when she goes shopping so that way I am calmed down by the time she gets home! lol Then again maybe she just thinks it's funny. I just keep a mental note of money spent so when I need something for the truck I have a little exta ammo.
