saw a couple things on my way home that I need to pass along and ask everyone to pass it along.

If you have a tandem trailer with 4 zero turn mowers on it, please dont drive around with one wheel missing and the other on that side 1/2 flat. when you pass me on the highway at 70 mph, it scares me.
If you have to haul a fridge on your single axle trailer so you dont scratch the bed of your truck, please strap it to something more substantial than the wire gate ramp and use something heavier than a bungie cord.
If you need to pull over across the street from the quicky mart so your kid can get out and pee, please get most of the way on the shoulder. I dont care if your kid is afraid of grass, im afraid of taking your mirror with me...

This is to cheer you up a bit.

This is to make you forget about heavy stripes on socks. Must have been a good game with a score like that




It was a good game. We could have won that though, even missing most our guys (Co-ed league). Once a competitor always a competitor.

10 miles between towns? I thought it was more than that. What area of Okey Dokey are you in? I've been there many times. Used to go to Enid on a regular basis. Talking about the 2nd left past nowhere. . .

I know a guy from another forum who lives north west from Tulsa. He lives 9 miles from a paved road.

Speaking of Tulsa. . . You remember that 58 Plymouth they pulled out of the vault a few years back? Ms. Belvedere? That car is about 12 miles from me. I work with the guy who is bringing it back to presentable for display. Sort of a consultant

thats quite easy to do too.I have about 7 miles of road that would be smoother if it was unpaved.
I hadn't heard about the 57 plymouth till now. a bit of googling and I would say that car is ruined. Looks like the vault was about 1/2 filled with water and mud.

I just brought it up because it was in your home state. It was a anniversary thing for Tulsa. 50 years.

Oh yeah It's toast. We haven't been able to get the doors open yet. Apparently some of the mortor from the vault disolved and deposited itself in the door latches. We can make the car gleam, but can't open the doors. The plan is to roll another frame under it, and maybe get it running, but definitely rolling. Yes we can get it running. Steve is keeping secrets. The engine actually tweaks after 2 years. Some of the parts are in remarkable condition. The valve covers rotted through, but the valve springs gleam. Go figure

There's been offers of 1/2 a mil for that car. . . .

I'm not surprised Scott's been pocked a few times. Probably doesn't even feel it anymore.

Dear God Cincy, I take everything I said about you to Scott back... Except the good stuff of course. Prayers for you, and prayers for a peaceful journey for your uncle.

Hang in there buddy, I have no advise, and can't say anything that could possibly make you feel better except maybe that if nothing else, you'll always be ugly.

There. Feel Better???

Good Greif Jeff. You make me look bad (Not hard)

I meant to pass my regards to Cincy and completely forgot.

OK Cincy. . What he said. My apologies.

G'day y'all. Thursday is winding down here. Been a nice day weather wise, but definitely getting cooler. The morning was spent at a dentist - my all time favorite place to be in the whole wide world.

Cincy, man, you sure have been thru the mill. Times like that can be rough - really rough. Wish I could help you in a more tangible way way besides just praying for you.

Talking of prayer, I have not noticed any prayer requests recently. Do I take that to mean that everybody is doing OK?

Not going to take the time to wade back thru the pages of posts. If it is business as usual, then it is probably just drivel anyway.

Do I detect a small element of sarcasm here?
