If you get a stimulus package for a new motor, lemme know, I need one for TWO motors! 

Ray

LOL! RJ wants Moo! So I guess thats it!

Look forward to seein you guys again!

We might well all pass out on Tony's patio anyway, soooooooo

Ray

If it was just me, I'd be tenting with Brad!..........Wait, that didn't sound good........

As it is, the Motel 6 is prolly best with me and the kids! SOOO anyone needs beer or groceries, call me, I gotta drive in 2 miles each day anyway!

Juries out on whether I'm bringing Pickle or Moo.

Ray

I'm with Omar! Bravo! The more you hang out here the more twisted you become! LOL! 

(Ummm.......Pot, this is the kettle................ )

Ray

I'm not seeing normal snails, even rotated 90 degrees, makin that! Just me, maybe. Funny Glenn mentioned Schiada, didn't Nicks pops' old Schiada have O/T headers that were SCAREY close to that center spacing?

Ray

Ok, Piru is ON for me. Not going to be on the road (sorry Ray) What time do y'all want to be there?

Why Sorry me? I'm not in a big hurry here Skip, lol

Ray

that would be awesome if kyle still had the ski hangers...it would look just like it did when your fam. used it in its prime!

if not thats cool too

I got 2 sets of 'em just layin around here........

Ray

Use Permatex number 1,  almost as good as welding 

P.S.  don't ever plan on taking them apart again 

X2!!!! Experimented a bit before putting the O/T pipes back on Pickle with the Permatex. Still got some #1 on my thumb that won't go away...........Guess what I used.........If It ever leaks or cracks again, gonna need new logs as well.........

Ray

Find a bud or shop with one of them Bore scope camera deals to look at the piston through the spark plug hole. Odds are maybe 50/50 on the damage deal.

If you can't find someone with one, Home Depot sells a Milwaukee one for under $300 you can use to check it out, and we have a VERY liberal return policy.........But I didn't tell you that.........

 I drive an '06 F350 with the 6.0. I LOVE IT!

Can trailer a boat up 93 to Kingman over hill and dale with the cruise set at 65+ and the only guage that moves is the boost guage! I have yet to hit the "tow" button.......

Heard some of the bad rap on the 6.0 as well, bought mine with 101k on it a little over a year ago, has 148k on it now, not ONE problem!

I was NEVER a Ford fan. Point of fact, had a 99 Exploder as a company vehicle for 3 years that was in the shop more than I used it! BUT a smokin deal, so I bought this. Great Truck! I beat the hell outta it too! (It's a truck for christs sake!).

My dogs are dumb and will not be there that weekend. They are not trained or well behaved or whatever you want to call it so they will not be coming that weekend. They are better on the small weekends when there is not a ton of people there. They do love it though.

LOL! good thing, If Hallet Dave IS there, I'd hate to see a fatality to report! 

My dogs are scared to death of the boats! Tried twice with them! Last time, at Bartlett, RJ was holding Moo, who, as soon as I rolled into the Pickle out of the NWZ jumped outta his arms and cowered at the very tip of the bow under the deck shaking. Becca was holding Ruger, roughly 1/2 the size of Moo and was feverifhly hitting my shoulder from behind me "Stop, daddy, STOP!" So I dropped it to an idle, and then saw what had happened.

Hard not to laugh, truley, he had scratched her a lil, she says he bit her then pissed all over her! She was soaked, the seat soaked......idled back in to the beach and the kids took turns. One watched the dogs while the other went for a ride.....went like that ALLL DAYYYYY!

Never again! Pussy dogs! And I can't keep either of them out of the pool or away from the sprinklers???

Ray

I really didn't see that much wrong with it! 

Yeah, poor Mikes gonna hafta lift his OWN ass off the seat now, but maybe it's because I spend so much time these days in Aisle 31 at Home Depot that the same thought has crossed my mind more than once!
