Hey, SFB, maybe you'd better add a nice power generator to your list of acquistions. Whidbey Island was without power in the civilian areas yesterday. News articles on KIRO (CBS) told the woes of cooking Christmas Dinners without power. One lady (elderly, of course, going to Grannma's house for Christmas kinda theme) said, Oh, this happens all the time. Oh, I know, it's nothing like back east, but then you're not moving to Maine or Minnesota.

Now where in the cockpit would you hang those dice?

 

A few weeks ago, I showed my daughter what I wanted for Christmas. From the &quot;Geno's&quot; Catalog, the new &quot;Cummins Turbo Diesel&quot; badges that are on the '03 Ram CTDs. Geno's has them for $16 (and change). She went to the ******* - they charged her $27 &gt; (and change). I'm stopping by that same ******* and letting them know this isn't right, get a refund and order it from Geno's. The badge is really nice - but not for $27.

 

From my mother: Mopar splash guards; from the kids: Mopar floor mats, Dodge hat, and Dodge travel mug; from the wife: coupon for spray-in box liner. Now I just need my d@#n truck .

 

From Mother earth and the Great Spirit I got snow to play in. And I did Just that driving 168 miles to my sisters house and laughing at the city slickers in their BMWs getting slushed by my 98 3/4 cummins powered 2500.<br> ;D Al

Right now Bosch is including a nice edge guide with vacuum attachment free. Also got a Craftsman( [undecided] good enough for now) 3/4 hp drill press, and a new gas grill.
