I need to get a hold of Mark Nixon. I know someone posted his phone number not too long ago but I don't know where to start looking for it. Tried sending him a PM but got this:

Well yes that was the general idea...help a brother out '




Bob you are missing the most important feature, a DTR Sticker! guaranteed to give you 25HP and 4 mpg fuel increase......why I have so many DTR stickers on my truck, I have to stop every hundred miles or so just to drain fuel out on the ground because it is making so much diesel!

FiverBob

Boy, don't we wish with diesel at $4.15/gal. Takes over $300 to fill me up any more. Wow, that hurts. Makes me rethink going to Alaska this summer.

Morning all - - fresh ph00, coffee and donuts on the counter. Come and get it while I head out in the yard with my saw, clippers, choppers, rakes, shovels, bags - - - uhhhh, what did I miss - - oh yeh - - my ph00..............

Later,
Bob

God has a special plan for you Bob and I think you better get that nurses uniform back from your cousin Scotty!

I must work for the FAA then, because I definitely was NOT happy!

That's what I thought too. When I was little my mom would always give me some kind of soup when I had 'the grip' or any other stomach ailment. So this time when I couldn't hold much down, I decided tomato soup would be the ticket. NOT! Within about 5 minutes of finishing a bowl it felt like someone had stuffed a hot poker in my gut and it stayed that way for about 12 hours.

And he guarantees it too! If it doesn't work, he'll give you a whole new truck!

It's a Mitsubishi engine but the tractor is most likely made by Dihatsu. I don't think it is of the newer vintage where Mitsu was making the whole thing. Engine parts shouldn't be too hard to come by but the rest of it might be another story.




Morning all. It's right around 50 here this morning and it feels GOOOOD! Hoping it continues!


It is Friday, March 28th. I *THINK* it is some special persons birthday today that we all love and admire. Who could she be?

Today's thought:
Take wrong turns. Talk to strangers. Open unmarked doors. And if you see a group of people in a field, go find out what they are doing. Do things without always knowing how they’ll turn out.


C0ffee & ph00 are ready!

Scotty

Make sure you get thru saskatchewan into alberta before fueling up. Its 1.40/liter and probably an additional 3-5% on your credit card with yet another currency fee. That will push you well above 5.70/gallon. I bet it takes you close to 5.85 cad.

Get more dtr stickers.

Happy birthday to whoever that mystery lady might be !!!!

Happy Birthday Heidi!

Tallguy67

SCOTT I TOOK YOUR ADVICE !

Another day of health insurance red tape. Just like a bunch of you guys, I've got Tricare. I'm getting it switched back to Prime, but what a snafu. Got booted during a credit card hack fiasco back to the lowest level. Now, needing labs done, there are too many computers not talking to each other. Oh well, there will be another day.....Got to get cut on on the 7th, no big deal, but sure hope I get stuff straightened out by then.

On a positive note, Grandson is going to be here this weekend. Seems he wants to shoot a ugly black rifle. Think I can help him out... May know somebody....

Lary Ellis (Top)

Tricare sucks...I have been fortunate to be able to use the Hospital insurance where my wife works, the care is MILES above anything I ever saw at the VA.

sherod

Luckily, I also have insurance thru work. However, I use the Tricare as a supplement. My deductible on the State insurance went from 500 to 2500. It will work out, or, I'll get one of the guys at work to practice Field medicine on me. I figure, if they cut me, they got to stop the bleeding. That is what they take all the Self Aid Buddy Care courses for. I'm sure that some of them would like to chase the boss with sharp implements!

Bark

Wow! I think I will buy two clutches and enough stickers so I don't have to repaint the truck.

Having the extra tanks so I can skip a few of those areas has more than paid for the tanks over the last 11 years.
Smuggling 3gal toilets into the US still doesn't pay for the fuel. Think I will start importing horse meat.

I just found out my deductible went up a bunch also. Its been the same for 31 years and now it goes up,,,.

Its gotta be Margaret Hilda Thatcher.
Only other person who fits that description is Heidi but she wouldn't have a birthday without inviting all of us.
