Good morning everyone!! March is here, up next spring!!

Terry I just finished reading in the old thread about your engine idea. I dont know as much about that motor but it would be fun to see something different under the hood like that! Good luck with everything! I hope you get your funds inline so you can get goin on it. Take lots of pics along the way!

Had a great weekend, worked alittle on Saturday and went snowboard shopping on Sunday with my youngest daughter, and then took her to the mountain to try out her new board. I got to hang out at the bar with another chapter member who lives up there.

Morning Jay!

Morning Jay, How was sledding?

Sounds like a good weekend Steve. I spent sat with my 3 yr old all day as my wife worked. Then sat after that we went and got new cell phones. Now I have to learn this thing all over again. As my brother told me "nothing like a redneck with a new toy". Sunday wife had a work function also so Ispent that with my son and I watched the race.

Out here you get your permit at 15 and are driving by yourself at 16. Actually if you live on on a farm you can get a farm permit and drive by yourself at 15!

On edit: Tell her Happy Birthday from us MN Folk!

Good Morning guys, the coffee is certainly helping me as I wait to head out. I wih I had a lil Viking running around of my own.

Troy, I found a full daily driver build of it on poerstrokenation. The more I read the more I like it. I can't believe International built a better inline 6 than cummins and ford didn't jump on it.

Oh and speaking of the race, I think they need to adopt what the Japanese do in their "Nascar" they add weight to their winners to balance out everyones power to weight ratio. Even though I do like seeing Jimmie Johnson kick some more butt haha.
