Cool Nebraska’s “ Welcome to 2025” January BS thread

Man, 2025. Who ever thought this year would come! Seems like yesterday I bought the diesel back in ‘06, almost 20 years ago.

We go into this year without our pal Bud from Maryland. Shipmate, we’ll miss you.

Hoping you all have a wonderful new year, let us begin to get the BS going!!!

But, the Game***** lost..... For Lee

And, Pat, you are almost 20 years older too.
I think it was 03 when I bought my '89 Ford SW. That's my current longest driving vehicle.

Good afternoon all. Just hanging out watching football. Postponed the Sugar Bowl tonight until tomorrow, due to that F-ing coward in New Orleans.

Don't know what moderator got offended but, what I wrote is their nickname.
15 gone now, in New Orleans. Another sad day in our History.

I looked there once and no one has been home for a few years.

I've lived so many places in the past 50 years I don't follow any sportsball teams. Not that I would anyway, but that's my excuse.

Hi Lee. I've noticed that a lot of Chapters don't have much action in them. While others are very active. NC has some active members and even has a monthly meeting. In NY I was fortunate to meet our Chapter Leader, Neil. and a few others. Virginia was pretty active 15 or more years ago. Now there are only a few Virginians posting. I think that now, many FTE members just stick with their truck thread.
Finally, coffee is ready.

ThongTastic Thursday Nebraska, Pat, Lee, George, TC, Kenny Snowbird Denny and all the crew.

Lee, still drop in and see if you and Ryan can't maybe get conversations going and more activity!

Today will be a lot better than what the Soothsayers predicted yesterday.
Predicted was 33°, some flurries, and overcast. Today the Soothsayers are saying partly sunny - it is out now and 40°!

I am guessing Pat will be in front of the TV this afternoon watching the game! Hope he doesn't get too excited and break something - Else!

Good morning, everyone! Happy new year! My kids melted down by 8pm on NYE, so that was fun. Wife and I made it to midnight but didn't stay up much past it. Was an absolute lazy bum yesterday. Made a big lunch and ate off of that all day long.

Watched the college football playoffs, which were interesting. I was really hoping that the Sundevils would pull it off against Texas. That turned into a great game to watch! Although I'm rooting for the big ten, I was kind of hoping for Boise State to pull through too. I'm OK with Penn State, I suppose. The Oregon (lame) Ducks sure laid an egg last night. The Sugar Bowl is still on for tonight, right?

Man, 20 years ago doesn't seem like that long but a lot has happened. I was still in high school back then with my '99 F150. Next year will be 20 years out of school, though. I forget what year it was (maybe 2008 or 2009?) but we had a Nebraska Chapter get together up in Columbus. Think I have a picture of that somewhere yet. Has anything like that been done during my hiatus from the group?
