    The name sounded familiar, but yes. Once I went in the way back machine, I remembered them.

    Lol I'm just busting you balls. I know very little of them, just that my stepdaughter likes them. Liked them before her current music taste, which varies from emo crap to Pantera now.

    I have played a slot machine one time..... $5 in my pocket and I won nothing. We don’t play the lottery or any form of it. I felt awful afterwords because that’s all we had at the time.

    We where poor and very young I did it more of desperation or some wild fantasy of a big win not knowing much about casinos or gambling at the time. Small life lesson:whistle: we haven’t played the lottery or gone to a casino for anything other than food or concerts since then with the exception of when I was still driving OTR.

    Most casinos love truck drivers and the money the bring but I went because they had free soda and super cheap food:rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol: Little did they know they lost to me! :dex: In all those years I didn’t spend a dime in gambling just took up a space for the night and got a burger and free drinks:dex:

    Now the old days down south with the truck stop points and slot machines you could redeem fuel points for credits to a slot machine I did that ALLLLL the time but that didn’t cost me a dime and I won all kinds of nice gear doing that! Got myself a $300 jacket at petro once and I even won the weekly pot of $800 shopping spree in the store. They gave points for every gallon of diesel plus whatever I did buy in the store plus free showers for every 50 gallons bought to truckers. The points where great!

    The $800 bought a mini fridge, CB, a crap ton off terrible food and a few smaller things I’d had my eye on. The wife even got a really awful trucker necklace out of that one:rofl: :lol:


    Actually the only time you’ll see me go into hulk smash mode is when somebody sets at the register and takes there time with scratch offs when there’s people in line behind them. That turns me into a total duck!:rofl: :lol:


    That was long winded:whistle:

    Start rant here...

    I'm sick to death with messing with that d@~π water pump.
    :mad:

    Got new pump Thursday, installed it, and of course had leaks. Back to town to get new line and fittings.

    Didn't mess with it till this morning/afternoon. Three trips to HD later, I've replaced every old line and fitting, as I'd fix one leak, another would start.
    :hair::hair::mad::mad:

    Finally it's not leaking.
    :thumbs:

    But it still won't build pressure.
    :mad::mad::mad::mad:

    My patience has reached the end.
    o_O

    Only one component left to replace, pressure tank.

    Will do that tomorrow, and will hope and pray that I don't jostle the connections enough to start the leak process anew.
    :wacky::loco: :crazy:

    OK, rant over.
    :whistle:

    Too soon to say. I started with small fires of ultra dry wood and got quite a bit of smoke. Today I packed it full of cutoffs from shortening some wood I got from someone else. Green as heck. No smoke. I'll figure out what it likes soon enough.

    That's what I had hoped, just ball busting.:handshake:
    I don't need any of that more than I've got right now being layed up. :pain:

    Your step daughter has good taste in music. My first CD I ever bought was Pantera, "cowboys from hell". ;)

    Get a cat so you can't afford cigarettes. Haha, 2 days later grandfather brought Benny home, hard to believe he's been her 10 years (less 2 days) now too. And cost a lot of money in that time. (In all seriousness, good luck:))

    Beautiful pic of the cat sitting out and contemplating life.
    Looks like a content kitty to be sure.

    Chazsbetterhalf is allergic, so the kitty idea wouldn't fly.
    We both like cats, so we'd already have on if it were an option.

    Ouch, didnt know you were played up, everything ok?

    Her taste in music is all over the place. I didnt even know she liked Panter. One time on a trip to my mothers house she fell asleep in the back with her earbuds in when I had to stop talking and ask my wife "is that Cowboys From Hell???" I could just barely hear the riff from her earbuds.
