haha, .... Mike you have several goodies up for sale. I sure wish that $$$ tree was sprouting. .

On the bright side, I got to climb the turbine this AM and work with two techs on a maintenance, I am still just as fascinated as ever and am ready to get to work.

Got my stack on finally. 5 inch with a 30 degree slash cut. Even with the muffler it is a little loud but only when you are in the throttle. I love it but it is going to make me wash my truck a little more often. I will post a pic once I get it coated. It is brush finish 304 stainless now.

Kurt, looking forward to seeing a pic of the stack.


Well, hopefully I will have a little window of opportunity to mow the yard this weekend....for the first time in 3 weeks..........before our next rain storm on Monday...

Even if it stops raining I still cant mow mine. My backyard is underwater and the front is so saturated that I left footprints getting the mail. At least my shop is still dry had to do a full brake job last night. I am thinking about going to the Laps for Charity thing anyone else? Sounds like fun think it would be cool to see a whole bunch of Dodges going around the track.

I managed to get our yard mowed yesterday right before it started raining again at noon. Just barely dry enough to get around with the push mower (benefit of the small yard).

Gotta keep it looking presentable for the prospective buyers...

Im planning on taking off tomorrow to get some yard work done and spend some time with my son in the evening. If it rains then it just does. Im mowing the yard one way or the other.........even in the rain! Fortunately most of my yard has pretty good drainage. It's not going another week without being mowed.


And I have some plans Saturday to go to Oktoberfest in Addison....

We have not had the downpours that Dallas area has, but it's been almost non stop "coming down' since noon last friday.

It's even worse when your mowing for a living. .

BUT YES, please send us some. this lack of rain is depressing. also when it does rain here it rains mud. . .

they talk of rain this weekend, but I hope not. Big rodeo weekend out here this weekend.. a tenth would be ok, keep the dust down.

Might as well. I sat here working one day and it started to pour down raining. Next thing, I heard a lawnmower and weedeater fire up. Looked out the window and the yard guys for one of the neighbors were outside going at it.

I feel sorry for the guy on the leaf blower trying to blow wet grass off the sidewalk.

Luckily mine only had about a week and a half of growth on it, so I was able to still bag it up. Plus, it needs some fertilizer so it's not growing like it used to. Gonna fertilize again if it ever dries out again.

No specific location in mind. We've been house-hunting, but want this one gone before we buy another. Right now we're looking at the northern areas anywhere from McKinney over to Denton (pretty much between 380 and 121). Tough to find a place we both like with everything we're looking for. Giving some consideration to building so that we can tweak all the little things that we've been finding that we don't like in the houses we've seen.

Well come buy the house across the street from me! It's up for sale. Nice shady Live Oak in the front. Park across the street with lake and fountains and stuff. Close to 75/121.

Seriously, when I moved in my house 4 years ago I honestly thought it was going to be temporary. But I love it here now. No plans currently to move until I retire and maybe not even then...but just be gone alot RVing.

Yes im definately a night owl. Between getting off late from work and/or going to visit my new squeeze.......it really eats into my DTR time, at times. So then I log in to see what's happening and I don't want to stop until I catch up reading. I hate going to sleep. But once im there, I hate to get up...
