Can someone tell me what debadged means? I always thought it meant to have all of the garbage removed from the outside of your truck, RAM 2500, 4x4, Heavy Duty etc. I see pics on this site that say debadged but they have all of the factory signs on them. Thanks, Don

My last couple vehicles, I peeled the factory signs off before I left the lot.

Yeah, well, about everytime I got under the truck, the OL needed something... 2x in one day is just a matter of what you need to be sober for in the middle of the afternoon...

Josh,
Well, I have access to a lift with the Marine Corps, but nothing beats getting trashed all day and working on your truck... even if you moan and complain about it being 200 degrees outside...

Hey, Don... welcome to the breakroom... careful, this is where the misfits hangout...

Debagged means what has been said before, however, me and my buddy debaged his 07.5, but left the Cummins badge and the 4X4 on the back... So, it means that you've at least taken off what you don't want...

Evening, Hat.

Just finished supper. Eggs, sausage, potatoes and fresh strawberries.

Now I'm reading. Surprised? I'm not!

Good evening, gotta cold soaking rain here today. Suppose to stay cool the rest of the week. Typical monday, kept the steel wheels of america rollin' like usual. Watched the Packers/Vikings game tonight, I was happy to see they can pull off a win without brett. I would have liked to see GB with Favre but looks like Roddgers will do. Now I gotta give the GF's brother some crap because his team lost against mine tonight. Oh well, was a long day I'm out.

Hey folks. Back from the back Dr. this afternoon. Looks like more steriod injections on Friday. Hope for some relief.

Yep, came in 21st out of 22 in the pulls. Me little rc weighed in at 5700#. That's with 530# of leaf springs strapped to the front bumper. The pull had only one diesel class running. Not a single truck qualified as stock diesel. I got to pull in the 6000-8000# modified class. If it souds like I brought a knife to a gun fight, you know how I feel.

I got the results from my pull at Banks three weeks ago. I ended up 6th out of 17 trucks. That was with a 94# winch in the front bumper and the front tires barely skipping on the ground. Me little rc does all right when not playing with the big dogs. My daughter got 8th.

Hope all is well. Eric

No reason to respond to this, I wont be able to see it, but I am gonna post this in two spots (if I owe money to someone they are just going to have to wait)BUT::
Just found out that tomorrow I have to go back to CA to help out my parents (80+yo old farts who are pretty cool). Anyway, I leave on Tuesday night and will be gone for over two months depending on how their medical stuff works out. Wanted to say that I appreciated arguing with, talking with and whining to you people. My parents live in an area that only has dial up at 19kps so to get a good argument with you guys would take all day. Luckily, working in their orchard and helping them out takes the fight out of me. Hopefully I will remember my password and such this time when I get back. Anyway, thanks again. You people are the best.

i weighed in at 6,400 and my causin weighed in at 6,600 and his a dually x-cab, i got put in mod class because of my side pipe. and he got put into mod class because of dual's?
oh well it was fun, and theres another pull on the 29yt i beleave

Wow, Don is up and at'em this morning. Good going. And the ph00 is on - - good man. But 4:40???? Sleep in, man - - life is short.

Thanks for asking, Don. She is slowly feeling better. That stuff is nasty - - just some red blotches left and it keeps jabbing her. Can't stand having anything touch her in that area. The back is much better. We are heading for Lake Tahoe - - it is time for some cool weather and a mountain or two. I love Florida but need a mountain once in a while to itch that scratch.

Looks like Ike is missing us again and the next one pooped all out. GOOD. Looks like I won't have to worry about that while I am gone.

Bark, take good care of the folks. Your kids are watching how you handle it - - you are next and they will be choosing your nursing home. I was talking with my cousin's daughter last night. Cuz is dying of cancer and the daughter is struggling with seeing her dad go thru that. Had to remind her to be patient and strong for him and his wife ---- it hurts when they go but shortly the tears stop and you start remembering all the good times. Tough when you suddenly realize you are on the top of the chain - - no one above you. Just have to make sure you are ready for the inevitable.

OK, gotta run. Take care and have a super day.

Bob

OOPS, that must have been that crunch I heard pulling in the drive yesterday..

Weather has decided we need an early fall, been in the 50's and 60's here the last few days. Seems too early to see the kiddies heading for school in caps and gloves.

Got woke up by a call from the neighbors, seems our chickens went exploring and were in their front yard, and they were scared to go outside... *scoffs* City folks! I tried to explain that chickens are not carnivorous by nature and they were safe, but no doing...had a very hard time not laughing at the guy and his wife...geesh

Other than that not much happening around these parts, daily grind continues!
