Tell your wife to get you a SB for Christmas.

 

Man....yalls Ike dropped a TON of rain on us yesterday....my pond flooded and basement had about 1" of water in it......about 5" in 7 hrs.......that was wild......

 

Sorry to hear it. South TX got it bad but around here...just a little rain (3" in 24 hrs) and some 40 mph wind. Ike warnings got me motivated to dig out my drainage ditch (where water backs up into my driveway and over my lawn........ so was actually good to me.

Just sat around all Saturday and nursed my back (from digging the ditch) and waited for what never hit us.
Even got PITA Weld wheels rotated and Drive shaft U joints greased on Sunday! Dan, those greasable u-joints we installed are thirsty little suckers, but seem to be holding up well. Don't know how factory no grease, u-joints last as long as they do??

How did everyone else fair from IKE?

This keeps getting better......

MO-DOT just reported to us that they are closing the bottom road bridge between here and Washington, MO at midnight tonight. SO....what that translates into is Dan's 20 min drive into work just turned into 1.5 hrs.......Thanks IKE!

 

Dan, time for an air mattress at work...till the water receeds!

Anyone miss Sarah Palin and Hillary on SNL?

According to Collin County Regional Airport.....we got less than an inch of rain here. I was glad to get it!! Wish we could have got more.


Sorry to hear about the bridge Dan! That Sux!

Still dont know how my apartments made it i know school has been closed for atleast a week and I heard our baseball field didnt make out to good. So I havent gotto play my first college baseball game yet was supposed to pitch a couple days before we had to evacuate. When I get back im going to go to baytown to see how the track made out.

 

Yeah....not all at once though....that is not cool....'specally with the mighty MO river paceing you the whole way into work on bottom roads!!

 

I'm disappointed that DHRA shortened the HRP Diesel National event by a day... not sure they'll be around much longer. We're still waiting to find out what will happen now in the IKE aftermath - lot of electricity needs to be restored, and I read 2-3 weeks for some parts of Houston.

Micah - and everyone else that hasn't been - you will love Ardmore! Full quarter with a decent shutdown, very laid-back friendly track, easy to make back to back passes during test & tune, plenty of fast cars show up from N. Tx & OK... hardly any trucks though - but we can change that!

When I was talking to Ron with NADM last week at Alvarado, I tried to get him to visit Ardmore and incorporate them into their program.

For everyone concerned about the recent shake-up on Wall Street:
I'd like to announce the C & M Trust Fund

Prospectus: If you send Charlie & Mike your money, we promise to spend it on our new clutches!

 

MikeyB called me yesterday. His power is still out and they have no idea how much longer. He lives in Tomball.

He had very minor damage to the exterior of his house but now has cracks in some of his sheetrock from the stress against the walls of his house. And he lost one tree.


Most of his neighbors suffered quite a bit more.


Baytown really took in on the chin, so I would be surprized if DHRA's event there goes as planned now.

And Mike you have a check coming from me this Friday.

For those that don't know...Lazarsmith is branching into the ATV rebuilding business. (jk)

After those crooks at Sherman Powersports took my ATV apart (after I submerged it last New Years) they didn't replace the bearings, hone the cylinders, replace the rings or a number of different things..........that were needed. It ran when I got it back from them, but started burning oil.

I goofed up submerging it. I goofed up not getting the oil out of it right away. Then I goofed up taking it to Sherman Power Sports! What a bunch of Crooks!! DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH SHERMAN POWER SPORTS unless you want to part with money unnecessarily. I don't trust them.

Anyway, Mike has been a godsend and has helped me get my Kawasaki Brute Force back on it's feet. Hopefully we will be able to run it this Friday. Still have an issue with the starter. THANKS MIKE! Mike is Somebody you can trust to do the work that needs to be done and that does what he says he is going to do.

I'll second that!

 

Maybe they'll move it to Ardmore!

 

After what I personally saw (and smelled) you do to that clutch in Alvarado.... two yrs ago, I can not believe it still gets you around.

Actually very impressive that it's still functioning!

Hey Brian and Rowland, I know I've asked this before but is the remote start that you guys have on your trucks the Valet 561R?
