CTT, that's a really nice looking truck you have.... may your roads be long and your journey be without bumps together. :beer:
Oh, and even thought the kids like the bed, it's better with the cold weather coming in if
you let them sleep in the house. :sleep:
(just keep an eye out for that asteroid):you:

Hey Chuck. When you come up to MA to give MJ that azz kicking you promised him, make sure he changes his shorts before getting into the new truck.
Here he is shopping at WalMart the other day. :oh:

thanks everybody. i like her more and more everytime i see her. hey spare, you'll not find a rainbow sticker anywhere near her. all she needs is a bed cover and a JETS STICKER and she'll be all set.
hey chum, how you didnt just walk up and pants him, i'll never know. at least now i'll know what to look for when i get there.

Monday Night Football!!!!!!! Dec. 6th Chuck. It's on!!!!!!!!
We're the two teams to watch right now Chuck. Sanchez is looking good, but we'll see how he holds up in the post season. I thought Manning was going to cry with Sunday's loss to NE.

That game was classic combat on the field with two great Generals facing off. Could go either way at any minute.
Now his brother looked like a high school kid in comparison.

Well, as much as I hate to say it; I think Manning lost that game more than we won it. He was forcing the plays (passing when all he had to do was rush the ball). Too many incomplete passes. He could have had the win. That's why Brady was so pissed off at the end of the game.

Agreed, but there are reasons things are being done I am sure, he is too intelligent a QB to give it away for no reason.
I thought Brady was superb passing wise, plays run with precision, which shows me good Coach and demanding training.
With Manning it seems it always falls on him to get it done, where on the Pats the pressure is spread on the team.

yeah chum, we'll see. when the jets invade foxboro on the 6th of december mr brady and company will be steamrolled.
and yeah, that was some game on sunday. you had to know that the patriots would beat the crap out of the colts. i'm just surprised that they didnt get beat worse.
truth to tell, i'm a little nervous about the monday night game. the way we've been so inconsistant on both sides of the ball, anything could happen. and yes, the young mr sanchez look to be the read deal. with a little more maturing, the right front line and a few deep targets, i think he's gonna become a very good quarterback. he's already got a rifle and he's proven that he can go deep. and he can scramble like a mofo, knee braces and all. and lets not forget the last quarterback we had who wore two knee braces.

My very first car (a 58' Dodge) had a 318 in it.. Ditto with my 85 Ramcharger. Every company has had their one "go to" engine... for Chrysler, it was the 318.. simple, rugged, easy to work on.. Actually, I'd be hard pressed to think of another engine that's been around as long as the 318.
There have been other great engines through the years.. 283 , 289, 351 and of course the 409 all come to my mind in a rush... I really miss the engines that you could actually work on yourself without having a degree from Harvard.. Yes, I know that (most of) todays engines are better, last longer and produce higher hp with less emissions than the old engines, but still.....(voice trails off into the distance as I get lost in thought) <sigh>

destroyer, dont forget the 225 slant six and the ford 300 straight six. two motors that would not die.
reel, its got the 3.9l V6. shes got a decent little amount of torque and should tow just fine. now i just need to find something to tow with it.
and yes, it'll haul a whole bed full of whoopa$$ up north.
after this weekend, i'm going back to working 7 days. i took a little break due to some non-life threatening but fairly serious health issues. gotta get caught up on some of these bills.
dont know if i mentioned but a guy who retired from the railroad has an old grady white i/o for sale. its a 20 or 21 and i think he just wants it gone. its under a tarp but what little i can see of it looks clean as sh!t. if i can find a cheap trailer i may have to go for it.
