The Damp Cabin breakroom 9/23-9/29
That's what I did. I didn't want to come right out and say it tho... didn't know if anyone else would do the same as I did. Now that I know at least one of you would do the same thing, I feel better! Tho admittedly, I mighta forgot the 'wash hands' part. But he introduced me to a friend of his when I came back outside and I had to shake hands with him, so I washed after that... never know what kinda germs are on someone's hands!

Geesh you guys are just driving me nuts!! First bragging about getting rain, now talking about having gardens that actually GROW??? give me abreak!! the only thing I got out of my garden this year was a sun-burned squash and a few wrinkled tomatoes..yea yea,... rub it in...

......
....(really funny, too)RV is beautiful again - - all washed and purdied up. Had a nail in a tire - - right at the corner - - can't patch it, can't plug it. Almost new G614 - - OUCH. Nuther $350 down the hatch over a dumb nail. She is back in bed until Friday. Have a puck acting up, so think I will replace all four and repack bearings while in there. Then it will be ready for the Alaska trip in the spring. Oh boy, get to go harrass the Shrew man. YEH.
OK, supper is on - - see ya,
Bob

I remember when I broke 60k on the odometer....I'd only owned it about 5 months!!! Bought it brand new in '03 and decided to age a brand new truck by running hotshot. In less than 2 yrs I'd put 225K miles on it. Now, the last 7 years I've pretty good to the ol' gal......only put 75k miles on her. At 300k miles now.....with a few upgrades as you know....it still runs like a gem. Would however like to replace the factory injectors....I blame Power Service fuel additive for lasting as long as they have!!!!
You should still have lots of years of service from the truck Shorts.......just treat it right and it'll treat you right......I'm a firm believer in that!

300k, not bad. Stupid Power Service

Well I KNOW what will happen, that's what I wanted to avoid. I wanted to know how everyone else would handle it in order to maintain my welcome in the future!
GREAT pics Shorts! Thanks!

As for avoiding what happened - don't press the gas pedal in a coasting situation.

We bought 2 of the 49cc red quads for my nieces earlier this summer after looking at things like the battery powered buggies. Unfortuntely one of the nieces broke her leg (in an unrelated incident and under her mother's care) the day we took delivery of the quads. The kids haven't even seen the mini-quads yet. This weekend is the inaugural weekend for kids in mini-quads. It oughta be a hoot. They may be Chinese made and won't last more than a few years but the kids will outgrow them in a few years anyway and there is just no beating the price.

I feel I must warn you about the LEGGo section. Stay out of it! They have some really cool kits these days and they will suck you right in. DH and I shopped for his bro's first baby baby shower at the BabiesRus/ToysRus and we came home with toys.

I hope I am not breaking any forum rules by posting this. If I am just delete the link - I am not affiliated with the company that sells these.

ended up blowing off work, met up with bro in law + his gal and rode about 300 miles of PA backroads, hit some shops, good steak dinner, home in the rain didn't even faze us. good times.
some pics of western travel to go with Shorts deforestation, lol.
wolves - they bite you on the cheek or shoulders to let you know you have been accepted into their pack. and it hurts. no joke, they are strong!
Grant's zebras go 0-30mph in .07 seconds. just hold on to the bridging (each side of the pommel) and put your head down so you don't get whiplash.
a zonkey. zebra dad/donkey mom for control. control is not a word a zebra knows...
after reading chaikwa's potty training experiences, I don't think I need any help locating that gift item.....thanks tho!!

Afternoon all.
Went to a great presentation about the 2 Boston FF's that were killed in the Tai Ho Restaurant fire in 2009. The presenter was the Captain of the truck company that was first due but he had swapped shifts with his best buddy that night so he wasn't working. Heard about it when they did an all-hands call back and got there in time to help pull him out.
There's some lasting trauma there for him but he did an excellent presentation. All caused by non-cleaning of the fryolator ductwork. Flaming grease was oozing out of the ceiling for the first in Engine company and it is suspected the fire went uncheked in the multiple false ceilings for at least an hour before it was reported by the restaurant workers. Truck/trailer did good in the city but boy was it ever a tight fit on some of those old cow-path streets! There are a few Bostonians that aren't especially pleased with me at this point!

Pulling a trailer through some of those streets is quite tricky, glad you had the chance to tick some of em off!!!!
My sister lived up there for a while......for the life of me I can't figure out why, but she's lived in a lot of major cities.....and I tell ya, those are some angry drivers up there!!
