G'mornin' all. In my absence, I see things have reverted back to complacency and late arrivals. I also see Top suckin' up ta Fiverph00Bob. Hmmmm... wonder what's goin' on there?

Well anyway, the coffee is on. Yes Bob, and the ph00 too. But it ain't in some fancy 'giraffe' thing, it's in the pot it's always in. The donuts ain't fat-free neither... they have TASTE this mornin'!

chaikwa should remember me way back when I used to be a tea drinker... Well old habit are hard to change... I fell off the tea wagon and fell in love with coffee again...

Well now that I've got my caffine rush this morning... I got to call my part dealer and see about getting materials for doing another straight pipe for a customer (2002 Dodge Cummins).

Then this afternoon go back down and clear out a trailer of a friend that passed away.

This weeknd start looking into doing a stack exhaust system for a 1st gen...

Enough of the work load... (MffffT Chewing...) Great doughnuts...

truck is saposed to be taller than you, it's safer. whats bad is when your driving around and see cars that the top of the roof is the heigh of your rocker panels.

I own one of those kind of cars...

But its a 1973 Dodge Charger SE with a 383 CID and 727 trans... I hate to say it but that Dodge Charger could whip my Dodge Cummins yet...



But my Cummins hauls bigger loads than the Charger... He was last winters firewood...

Lunchen munchen over. Roast beef sammich and 'tater salad.

Sunny 77 in NW Houston, 5er and Bob are basking in the turtle spa.
Wife and son-in-law, Sams Club run, I passed on that.

LOOKING for Dodge Cowboy, can't PM him. Not taking any messages. Hoped to go meet him and have coffee and.. when I travel from Sun River OR to Portland, with my darling daughter and her family.

Prudent Student is caught up for the week so far.
Congrats to the DTR's students that are graduating, and passed all the tuff finals. Way to go.

5er trailer is still on the consignment lot. Hope is sells for a reasonable price.
I see the price of big PU and SUVs are dropping fast with the high fuel prices.
I get my fuel at a grocery store, 3.899 with discound store. Have seen it as high as 4.459 ouch. Won't nee the 02 truck when the 5er is sold.

F O you still home, or have you gone on another expence paid vacation?
Found some "Carabo" coffee on special at a grocery store, good coffee, I have drank coffee as far back as I can remember as little kidlett. My mother told me real coffee drinkers don't use sugar, so just cream or 1/2 1/2. Or as they say ne NYC "coffe reggala."
I didn't stunt my growth, I am 4" 19" tall.
Also a tea drinker, and like good tea, but don't usuall make it. A good russian caravan is hard to find, and my old clay tepot got broken in a move.

Chaikwa, takes a lot to be fired from a "wannabe" status, what is your secret?
Mopar, nice looking charger,
Wannbe, how you doing these days?
Hat, you keeping out of BIG trouble.
Time to rearange the clutter on the desk.
Request for sloppy joe's for dinner, easy fixin' open a can of stuff and brown some ratburger.

Have a good un and be safe out there.

Just my natural charm and dashing good looks I guess. Some people just can't control their jealousy as well as others! <like bald headed Marines, for example!>
