  1. I agree with Tim. I own two Chevy trucks and a car and they've all been good to me.

    A decade ago my Brother and I each bought new trucks, he bought a Tacoma and I bought a Silverado. He tried to feed my some crap that "Toyota's don't break down", I laughed and told him they all break down. When he started having troubles I reminded him of what he said and he modified it to "well, not as much". While I've worked on the abs, a brake line and replaced the clutch he's had one expensive problem after another. He had the model that they replaced the frame on too. LOL He now has a Chevy. 

    This morning I pulled my 93 full size Blazer out of the garage to go in town and shovel out my Mother. Damn thing is a beast as you can see. Like a rock!

  2. Homeowners have certain rights that renters don't have.

    Buy something that's structurally sound but needs remodeled. I did one room at a time. Been here ten years and it's now worth 3 times what I owe.

    Good Luck!

  3. It was a good day to be at the races. Kudos to Roger Hayden, he was on fire! After the red flag he proved again he was the best there today.

    Now, there's no way attendance was better than Lexington. Looked sparse to me. Not much for the spectator other than the hill, which really isn't that great, some of the riders would get a little air coming over the hill but thats about it, I seen 3 passes in the s curves on the other side. Bleachers amounted to something you might see at a little league game. One part of the track you couldn't even see because of vegetation in the way. I scoff, give me the bleachers  at the end of Mid-Ohio's back straight over this any day.

    Sweet umbrella girls though.  Gotta lov'em!  One of them was showing some cheeks! Never seen that at Mid-Ohio. Them boys got an education today.

    I know what an interest free loan is.

    I meant the deductions part of having kids, mortgage interest that I paid to the mortgage company and loan interest that got paid to the student loan company. All of that had to get paid anyway and there was nothing being paid directly to the government from me. 

    Interest deductions doesn't make much difference, it's the Earned Income Credit (EIC) for the children, that's where the bulk of your money is coming from. Assuming you claim 3 dependents all year.

    I hear people bitch about EIC because they've heard numbers over $5k from single moms. It's actually a program for families with children, whats wrong with that? We can play world policeman but we can't help Mom's  and dad's?

    Did I read that right? "Harley recently returned MV Agusta to its Italian owners for 3 euros, or about $3.98, a company spokesman confirmed Monday."

     

    I never believed that. I mean, yea it's real but since this happened overseas they didn't have to report it and was nothing more than some CEO's getting some under the table kickbacks at the shareholder's expense.

  6. Tagged this Gobbler last week city bois.

    The two morning's I hunted this bird after finding him he would gobble at my calls then walk away. Hmmm, call shy, I needed a new plan.

    Went back in the evening and set up near his roost area just back from a rise. Some crows flew in nearby with theirowdy raucous and I hit the gobble call one time. In less than 5 minutes he appeared at the top of the rise. He was in sneak mode though looking around and not displaying any colors on his head. With the leaves on it was somewhat dark in the woods and I couldn't tell for sure that he was not a hen. I held my fire while looking for some red as he started to peck at the ground. My heart was beating like a jackhammer when finally he stepped into a lttle more light and I could clearly see the red neck of a gobbler. As I raised my weapon for the shot he dipped back below the rise and disappeared, my heart sank as I lost track of him. After a few minutes I double gobbled and that brought him right back up. This time he was displaying all of his white and blue. Umadbro? BAMMM! Dropped him!

    When I went to the edge of the woods where the sunshine was for a pic I spotted acrossbow bolt stuck in a tree and decided that is where I would hang him.
    22lbs, 10" beard, 1" spurs. Rem 1187sp, Hastings .665 ext. choke tube, Winchester XR #5 shot.

    Follow the manual. 

     

    Now thats out of the way... Hot, cold, hot, cold. Avoid prolonged sustained RPM. (think interstate) Regular riding with short bursts of high RPM to creat heat and seat the rings and valves is how it should be done. No need to redline the engine, but it needs to spin up when it's warm now and then. 

    Or follow the manual. That's also safe. Just avoid droning the engine. 

    This. 

    I also change the oil on all my new vehicles at 100 miles. 

    Nothing wrong with buying used but there's nothing like new, everything is all nice and tight.

  8. Don't kid yourself CSC, your anthropomorphism is a joke. Watch some more talking animal movies.

    You people and your animal companion laws are an even bigger joke. It won't work with farmers, they have laws of their own already passed to prevent it.

    I don't live with animals, I don't sleep with animals and I don't kiss them with no tongue to tongue action as a greeting. I eat them.

    I'm done with this thread.

    Fucking idiots. People like this who obviously raised this dog to be aggressive give the breed a bad name. 

    They have a bad name because its in their genes to attack, same as a Beagle wants to run Rabbits. Probably some of the same dumb asses that will tell you how luvy duvy they are around children. How they're raised has little to do with it.

  10. Tagged this ten point this morning. Shot him while sitting on my fold up pocket chair that my youngest son makes fun of. It gets me off the ground just enough to draw my bow. That spot of blood is the exit hole. 

    Weapon is a Matthews Black Max.

  11. Well, I don't have a shower in my bedroom, just a sink and toilet. Good answer though, I'll just have to make the trip down the hall. So the shower is just like one big urinal. Those of you with a spouse or life partner, how do you explain running the shower in the middle of the night?

  12. No, not prostate trouble but with a early morning pee boner. Trying to aim it in the bowl, I'm all hunched over with my head over the reservoir pushing on the boner like some kind of contortionist. Is this some kind of cruel joke? Sitting down is not an option. What do you do to avoid pissing all over the toilet and having to clean it up?
