LOL I'm trying to use some of the fuel I got. I got a bit of mineral oil in it and it's running real nice. I did put some diesel in it too. Why can't we get some lubricity with the fuel we pump.

Wow chat in here is going slow. Hey I got an email of a jeep and truck event this weekend from 4wheelparts. Is anyone going?

Morning So Cal,

Headed out the door this morning to have my Mom's '02 Saturn smogged. Just as I'm leaving, the wife says OBTW, we need one for my Escape too. And it's due in 4 days. At least Mom gave me a weeks notice.

Ah well, they both passed with flying colors. Even got a quantity discount for two on the same day. I'm feeling pretty good everywhere except for the area right around my hip pocket.

I was the only customer he had had by the time I was done, and he seemed preoccupied with the Argentina-Nicaragua game. He's convinced all his customers are at home watching the game. In this neighborhood he may be right.

Pardon me for not looking up the spelling of Nicaragua. I'm too tired.

I'm such a dinosaur.

Nobody won, nobody lost. Sure, I can see the excitement in that. Everybody feels good about themselves.

Except for England's goalkeeper. He rolled the ball into his own goal

They always did when the O'Malleys owned them.

My brother is a long time Angels fan. I used to beat him like a rented mule over the pre-season freeway series. Now I wish I had been a little easier on him.

Did you ever go to any of the pre-season free games? I don't think they have them any more, or maybe I just haven't paid attention. You would just pay for parking and the day was free. I think we saw them play USC one time, and some others that I can't remember. They would play second stringers, or guys who were needing work for whatever reason. Not serious games, but it was a fun afternoon.

Looks to me like the Celtics want it more than the Lakers do.

Hello everyone. Sorry I have been a stranger, work is in full swing. More work than I would like but I am thankful for it. 20 overtime a week is getting kinda rough. Just a bit tired by the time I get home.
