I am building a new spray truck for this season. I managed to twist his arm with some cash to make it happen. Thanks for the effort to help.

300' hose reels. 5 of them on a pallet. I could have the shipping company pick them up from a location the seller just doesnt want to strap them down. I am still trying to convience him that it will be no trouble for the shipper to pick them up.

Does anyone on this forum live near FT Wayne, IN. I want an item on ebay and they wont ship. If there is someone within 20 miles of Ft Wayne willing to help me out I will make it worth your while.

Congrats on the grandson. Hope you spoil the heck out of them all.

I want to do FUNNXS

I went with low expectations and came away very surprised. I was disappointed when it was over after 3 hours.

Jim how do you like your wheels? I think they are great.

I need one for my new car as well.

Who has a plasma cutter? What brands do you think are the best bang for the buck? Miller and Lincoln are just out of my price range but scared of the cheaper units ie Hobart and such. I know Hobart is made by Miller just not to the same specs. Dont know alot about the ESAB or Hypertherm they seem to get used alot on TV programs. I am sure because they pay to have them there.

I was using a 3". I think a 2.5 is enough for a NA Zetec. I like the Hushpower II round canister with cool shell technology. It sounds good at cruise talks to you when you have the pedal down but the shell stays a reasonable temp. It gets warm, but it wont burn you to the bone if you touch it for an second.

Jerry that is funny.

Man that is funny. I need a good laugh.

I dont believe in Global warming. The dang weather man cant give an accurate forcast to what will happen in the next week. Yet I am expected to believe that a group of scientist can generate a computer model that will predict weather patterns for the next hundred years is laughable in my opinion. I dont have a and climatology degree, but I do have a brain and some common sense. The earth has seen many large variations in global tempatures, many off them occured before the increase in man on earth and our CO2 spewing machines. I guess they will blame that on dinasaur farts.

I dont care who you are that there is funny.

You would think that the wash unit would have some kind of pressure sensor that would stop the unit. If he hadnt gotten back in the car he could have been crushed. I know he shouldn't be out of the car. But unusual things can happen.

Thanks for the support and especially the prayers. Mom is going home tomorrow from the rehab unit. She is going to do out patient rehab for the next few weeks. She gets better each day hopefully she will be back close to normal by Christmas.

Having driven for hundreds and hundreds of miles in the 40 to high teens i suggest electric motorcycle vest. I always wear a good wind resistent insulated jacket over the vest. We found that the electric gloves and pants werent needed as long as you have some warm pants on. If you can keep your core warm the rest stays warm for many hours in the seat. It is easy to get in and out of the car just sit down buckle up and plug the suit into the dash plug and go.

That is a great looking car and very clean for its age. It sure doesnt look like its 26yrs old.

Oh thats funny.

I have never heard of the Fraser. I have to say that I like it. You did a good job on it.

Thanks guys for the support. I needed to vent a little. Mom is doing a little better each day. Steve it is reassuring that your dad pulled thru. Kitcat thank the Lord your son walked away. I think that would be the worst thing in the world to lose a young son or daughter.

I usually look forward to Thanksgiving. It is my favorite holiday of the year we gather with all our family. Aunts, uncles, grand kids, moms and dads usually around 50 of us meet at someones home and cook a huge meal. We visit, eat and visit some more. The guys watch the football games and women talk about women stuff. This year was very different however. My Grandmother 86 and my youngest aunt 61 were one the way to another aunts house for a birthday party on Wednesday the 25th. They were on a two lane highway when the rear drivers side tire tread seperated causing the vehicle to spin out of control rolling once before taking out a telephone pole. My aunt died at the scene. My grandmother died the next day after 22 units of blood. If that wasnt bad enough shortly after making funeral arrangements my mother went into sudden cardiac arrest. Her sisters performed cpr until the fire deptarment arrived. They worked my mom for a few minutes and got a pulse back and transported her to the hospital. She stayed in a coma for a day and has been slowly coming out of it. She is up and talking, walking and eating very well she has pretty good long term memory. Her short term memory isnt doing as well. The doctors think with a month or so in rehab she should recover very well. Thanksgiving will be very different for the next few years, but we are thankful that we didnt have to bury 3 loved ones in one day. We are also very thankful for the hundreds of our friends from our churches and work associates that were there in a blink of an eye to lend a hand.

I have been using a 05 Dodge 2500 cummins. I now has 120k on it no problems except a water pump at 45k. I have been running B100 biodiesel in it for the last 45k miles no problems at all. The only difference I see is my fuel bill is 75 % less. It get about 21mpg on the highway with my 20ft car hauler and the Ultralite on board runs closer to 18-19. It will drop to 12 with a 7x16 enclose trailer.

Use a 1/2 breaker bar. They have much more torque than the average impact gun.

So is the grand prize for winning a ride around the block if we ever meet face to face?
