You are lucky Lee. They are kind of finicky about changing screen names.

Keep us posted on the tranny install Troy. I might be able to make it this weekend...

Thanks for the link Steve, that was fast.

I could tell the story about how the 3, but you probably had to be there.

Dave, Tom and Troy would probably tell it better, if they stopped laughing yet.

I will do that Jay. If the tranny gets here by friday it is going in on way or another. The only trouble that I have is I have to leave town by about 1 on Sat.

Yes Steve it was! This story will come out eventually if Lee lets us tell it for the world to hear.

You guys go right ahead and tell the story. Every time I think about it I laugh so hard I start to cry.

Here is my version.

I was putting trans fluid in Troys truck, and the rest were talking about how there were people who could not make it to the GTG.

I started to say, "if I would have not made it, there would have been only" pause pause pause, "three people here".

Everyone thought that was really funny. I paused because oil was starting to come out of the filler tube, or at least that is my story now.

I am sure I missed somthing so please fill in the blanks guys.

He paused because both hands were busy and he couldn't use his fingers to subtract one from 4, hence the delay( well at least that is the way it sounded like)too funny

I would change my screen name but they might not want to with me being a chapter leader and all. Ans what a CHAPTER it is, LOL

Lee pretty much has it right except I think he paused because he was trying to figure out that 4-1=3. Course you have to give him some credit his hands were holding the funnel and the quart of tranny fluid so he could't count on his fingers real easy! Unfortunately after he paused for while and then came up with the answer it was too late we were all laughing so hard we were in tears.

Troy, that story is better when you tell it in person. I laughed pretty hard when I heard and I wasn't even there.

Yeah Cory it was pretty funny and still is!!

Well I am heading out to the other room to start the tranny removal process again. Of course I drained the tranny fluid out this morning and now I have to jack it up to get the ramps under it. I knew I should have drove it up on the ramps before I drained it.

Evening guys. That is a pretty funny story. I am forced to take Lee's side. At least until I have tried out his newly turned rotors...

Troy, bummer to hear there was no easy solution....

At least one is coming now. You gonna have it ready to go, or do you need help this weekend? Let me know. Of course, It'd make great sense. That'd be three weekends in a row I saw you! LOL

I think about that story like, oh, I don't know times an hour. Man...

I love the name change Lee! We will be laughing for hours about that.
