Had an interesting experience a few days ago. Let's just say you can pick your seat, but you cannot always pick your friends, especially if they owe thousands of dollars to the wrong people and you just happen to be with him when they come to collect.

I got by with a few fractured bones and cartilage in my right hand but at least I didn't have to stay overnight in the hospital under police guard either.

Live and learn. Hopefully I'll be back at work soon and working on tanks too.

You're so right ... X. Thanks for the reply, I never thought those few years of MA's would come in handy. Two against one as I saw the soon to be X run down the street with his car still running.

oh man his videos are getting pretty lame i've seen KenBlock before but he doesn't do those stunts in one shot that's why there is 50 other rubber tracks left on the ground from all the retakes and when the technology gets better i could do the same as him while sleeping...lol

Got any "COFFEE DRINKERS" out there.?

For what it's worth.............If any of you have a "Stanley" thermos and it's no longer keeping your coffee hot,this may be of interest to you.

I have used them over the years and in the past and present, and they were great.At one time they were a USA product,now what seems like everything else they are made in (china).My wife bought me a new one a couple of years back as a present,and for a while it seemed to work fairly well.Then it seemed to get worse every time i used it.(would only stay hot a few hours )

So i looked up Stanley on line and sent them an email telling them about it not staying hot.Got an email from them the next day saying they were sorry about that and wanted the following information.( color of the thermos,and all the info off the bottom.My name and address and phone number ).Sent that off by email...........Next day got a reply that i did not need to return the old thermos (to recycle it properly ) and they were sending me another of the same type and size (two quart 1.9 liter) and i would receive it in one to two weeks.Got it yesterday in less than a week (by way of UPS ).

That is a great video! It kinda puts me in the mood to buy an old classic bike.........(when the rims had wire spokes). I wish I still had my old Ducati 450.

MAN ... we had to kick on the heat this morning as it has dipped below 40 degrees!! [:@]

When will summer get here and stay?!! [] I think I'm getting a cold from one day working and sweating out in the yard and 80 degrees, then it's back to a winter coat to wear. [X(]
