Oh yea! look how long I've been a member and how many or should I say lack of posts. 
I guess I fell out of touch for a while there. Plus I never really did meet anybody to chat with reight away. So I guess I was turned away by the lack of chatting going on. But now its like a whole different site with friendly people from MY state! 
Plus after I went to a GTG I was floored by how nice and welcoming everyone was. I guess in my line of work I always think someone is lying or trying to get somthing from you. I'm GLAD I checked back in and met everyone!!!
BTW: Hello all!

Good evening everyone, how's it going?
I saw on the news there was a tornado out your way.
OK, if we HAVE to, LOL.
Looks like you got everyone.
I believe we can find some time for that Jay.
I finally got around to mowing about 4:30 yesterday. I was close to breaking a sweat on the rider. I still need to get out tonight and weed wip everything.
My computer is too stupid to give that info Lee. I do have two seperate guages hooked up to two different sensors. They do read different temps but they were both climbing that day. Granted it was over 90 out too but that seems high running unloaded and no topper either.
I would like someone else to drive this thing and see what they think

I don't post much either, I read a lot on many forums but have little to add. On a side note I blew a tire mowing lawn but the tire was about 20yrs old.
Going to the car show in St.cloud this weekend. It will be my last weekend off until after labor day weekend.
Someday I will make a GTG again I still need to do balljoints but I have only put 3000 mile on since the last one I was at.

Hey guys! Holy HOT!!!
Tom, sorry to here about your back. I sure hope you are feeling up to making it to the GTG. Be kinda boring without you...
Jay, your rotor is done, but I never made it to work today, so I didn't get to grab it. But I will be there tomorrow morning. So any time. If you want we can swap it out quick in the garage here too. I can bring my scanner with camping too so we can see if there are codes, and watch pressures and such.
Cory, you better get a second job after ordering the catalog!

Yeah it doesn't look to bad from the pics but your right about the bed. A guy would really want to check it over to make sure it was built well!
