Evening all,

Seems as though the conversations have gone from what is coming out, to getting it there faster...

Whats the hurry???

Mark, good to hear about the leg.

Scott, hoping this is the last repair for a while, I'll go find a black cat, and put it under a ladder and walk past it a couple of times... Maybe that will take the bad luck out of there...

Bark, that was my letter, I got moved to Nigeria so tell her to go ahead and PM me the bank account number and we'll go on vacation...

Stan, Have a safe trip take lots of pics...

Claude, boost up your antenna, cell service and internet here is horrible!!!

Dreamin of drinkin a beer and sittin on the beach. Have to get by with lemonaide and ND

Man, big truck parts prices have really gone up. The last time I replaced a maxi-valve it was around 60 bucks. The one Michael got me today invoiced at $180! Stupid!

Evening all.
Ok, I'll take your word for it.

That's because your partner told them that you guys were broke down 200 miles from home... Smooth...

Evenin. Just got done eating 'dinner'. Gonna go fuel up and then check fluids and such for my trip tomorrow.

Thanks Jeff, but are you sure that's a wise decision? You're in a business where a little bad luck could turn into a big disaster.

I'd have called around for prices if I was at home, but I was on the road and it was nearing closing time for the parts places. Maybe that was the reason. I usually do pretty good at the place we went to.

No Blake tonite?

It has been a while since I've heard Blake complain. Hope he's ok.

Thanks, Jeff. I just now saw your last post where you said something to me, I apologize for not seeing it.

Actually, she let me get a fresh keg today.

Evenin, DTR.

Going up to 29 stumps tomorrow to get my brother and bring him down. Pulled the truck in the garage and checked the fluids, air pressures, lug nut torque, spare, etc... Looked all under the truck, took the creeper to it Glad I have a vehicle that is high enough to just roll around under it

Ok, gonna browse and finish this cold beer, and hit the rack. Gonna try to get up early tomorrow.

Dang, I didnt recognize your name (Emuebie Ikyechukwu). I will tell her to go ahead and send the money since you indicated in your letter that it was all legal.

You ARE kidding, right? He's ALWAYS complaining! Just yesterday he was whining about some kind of 'embarrassing rash' in an unmentionable place.

Morning all.

Today is Saturday, September 4th.

On this day in 1609 - English navigator Henry Hudson began exploring the island of Manhattan.

1781 - Los Angeles, CA, was founded by Spanish settlers. The original name was "El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora La Reina de Los Angeles de Porciuncula," which translates as "The Town of the Queen of Angels."

1825 - New York Governor Clinton ceremoniously emptied a barrel of Lake Erie water in the Atlantic Ocean to consummate the "Marriage of the Waters" of the Great Lakes and the Atlantic.

1833 - Barney Flaherty answered an ad in "The New York Sun" and became the first newsboy/paperboy at the age of 10.

1882 - Thomas Edison's Pearl Street electric power station began operations in New York City. It was the first display of a practical electrical lighting system.

1886 - Geronimo, and the Apache Indians he led, surrendered in Skeleton Canyon in Arizona to Gen. Nelson Miles.

1888 - George Eastman registered the name "Kodak" and patented his roll-film camera. The camera took 100 exposures per roll.

1899 - An 8.3 earthquake hit Yakutat Bar, AK.

1917 - Henry Ford II was born. He was the head of the Ford Motor Company for 40 years.

1917 - The American expeditionary force in France suffered its first fatalities in World War I.

1944 - During World War II, British troops entered the city of Antwerp, Belgium.

1957 - The Arkansas National Guard was ordered by Governor Orval Faubus to keep nine black students from going into Little Rock's Central High School.

1957 - The Ford Motor Company began selling the Edsel. The car was so unpopular that it was taken off the market in only two years.

1967 - Michigan Gov. George Romney said during a TV interview that he had undergone "brainwashing" by U.S. officials while visiting Vietnam in 1965.

1982 - The Dorothy May Apartment-Hotel building in Los Angeles, CA was set on fire by an arsonist killing 25 people.

1983 - U.S. officials announced that there had been an American plane, used for reconnaissance, in the vicinity of the Korean Air Lines flight that was shot down.

1997 - Three Buddhist nuns acknowledged in testimony to the U.S. Senate that their temple outside Los Angeles illegally reimbursed donors after a fund-raiser attended by Vice President Al Gore, and later destroyed or altered records.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
If ghosts can walk through walls and glide down stairs, why don't they fall through the floor?

Nope... we don't let the kids have drinks on the carpet. Maybe every great once in a while. About a month after we got here, one of the kids spilled his milk in route from the counter to the table, it all landed on the carpet that bordered the kitchen... I must have spent an entire hour with the spot bot sucking all that crap up...
