    Chief, had I known Laz was into sending free Legacy engines, I would have invited him down to get some of the deer in my yard. Had 6 the other morning.:mrgreen: Actually, I think it is you who have been very generous with guys in the hobby, even if they do turn out to be a putz. Well, I am...

    Good morning all. Hope everyone is having a good day. Dog made it through the night with no incidents, at least no bad ones:thumb: He did comfort our daughter when she cried out, he jumped on her bed and put his nose up to her and wagged his tail. Was cute to watch. Have a good friend...

    Good evening everyone! Sad news about that drunk driver. I had a case years ago where a drunk driver went the wrong way on a highway and hit a 18 year old girl head on. He walked away and after many hours of surgery, the girl died.:sad: Jon, I heard today that some fire departments in Iowa...

    Chief hope for great results and good health. As to copays, mine last year was over $13,000.00. And we were not really sick. Sleep study and all, I got slammed. Mostly due to a change in insurance at the hospital. I am working on getting better coverage. I really like this engine, I can't...

    Brutus, glad you got one. We have another movie that is actually the first one called "Flywheel". While it was a bit more rough around the edges, many like the message even more than "Facing the Giants". Anyway, I think they both came out well and they are movies the whole family can watch. When...

    Marcie, thanks. We had a Rott/Lab female who died last April. She was so sweet and gentle, but very strong. Vet said she was the strongest dog he ever tried to handle, and that was when she was pretty ill. Don, glad you got back on here. Seems you have been busy out that way. Hope you...

    Doug, He is a Rott/lab mix. About a year old and seems to be real tame. His former owner was a older lady who could not take care of him and his brother. I will let you know more after we bring him home on Thursday. As for 0'dark early, I have become acustomed to it. Start out at 0430 many...

    Brutus, thanks, With the effort put into this one, I think you will be amazed at how much better the quality is. The message is the same, but the presentation is what we are working on. Chief, had a friend with a similar problem, he took some fishing line staked at one side of path, cross the...

    AH, Yeah:flush1: I think I'd rather have a tooth extraction without novacaine before another winter in the snow! If I really miss the snow, I can visit the north for about a day and that would be enough of that. I'd be far happier dealing with our heat in summer than the snow and cold of the...
