  1. That truck looks like mine do two years after letting employees drive them. Thats still better than what the boys do. It is a real truck. It has a grill guard. Grill guards gauranty a win against trees, fences, deer, Chevy Cavaliers, and lastly buzzerds. I'm happy the grill caught it and not the windshield. I need to edit that. It only beats the deer if the deer doesnt jump. Thats when they try and come through the wind shield. A truck is a working vehicle. A cowboy cadillac is a vehicle with a bed that is used in lieu of a car. A toy is a vehicle that is set up strickly for show/impression. A jacked up 4X4 crew cab dually is big and it may even empress some people. To me its just a toy. The differance between a man and a boy is the cost of the toy.
  2. The Dixie Chicks have great harmony. Two of them have ranchs about 25 miles from here in Bandera. You won't hear them on the radio though, since they bashed President Bush no radio stations will play them. Country and Western music depicks life. I think it is Chet Atkins who had a song out and the story line was his songs depick his life. Somehow I just don't understand big city getto culture. I have liked most of Grechin Wilsons stuff up until she came out with"All Jacked Up". I prefer tha Alternate country // Austin sounds. Regionaly this is close and purer to my heart. The crazy thing about a lot of country music today. Its rehased rock and roll from the 60's and 70's.
  3. Johnny Russell sang that song. And everyone has heard of Robert Earl Keen.
  4. "Red Necks, White Socks, and Blue Ribon Beer" It is from the 60's and doesnt get any air time anymore.
  5. Only a fool tells a Texan that line. The horns are there we just don't advertise. DMiller that is not a truck thats a toy. My biggest pet peeve is people with trucks that don't have a scratch a speck of dirt in the bed.
  6. Southern women know how to please there men. A trolling motor is great. I was never as proud as when the little woman shot an 8 point and a doe the same day. It could only have been better if she had gutted them and not left the work for me.
  7. Ya'll don't have to worry. I've got enough guns for us all. More than I need and less than I want. Hey D Miller. That is a little of an overload on that piece of Jap engineering. Buy a truck big enough for the job. Like a Chevy.

    Life is messy..

    I have to agree with Z shot. Find a sport or hobby that has to be done away from home and with other people. The fact that you get out and work at anything that is fun. Gets your mind off the problems of life and gets you out with people of similar interests. Have a little fun. God never said to be a miserable worn out problem child.
  9. Its easy. I was stupid and did not realy know how to ride a motorcycle. I got on and started a dirt bike up. Dumped the clutch and road the wheely right into a parked semi. Went right under it. I wasn't even hurt. Being dead. Well I went to the ER because I could tell something was wrong. Turns out I was in A Fib with my heart beating at 180 beats a minate. The doctor said he was going to give me a shot that would make me fell strange. It fells real strange when you breath but your heart has stopped. So I figure that if my heart stopped I was dead. It did restart eventually. Or maybe not. I have been called a heartless basterd. Getting shot in the head with a 45. I was doing one of my most favorite things. carbine matchs. This is where you run through a senerio with an asualt rifle and handgun shotting targets on the move in a timed/ acuracy corse. So I had advanced up to one set of targets with the rifle and then transitioned to the handgun to finish the steel. I hit a steel post and a bulet fragment came back and nailed me dead center in the middle of my fore head. I finally dug it out myself the next day. It was only the size of a BB.
  10. In the Texas Monthly Magazine was a sentance that says it all. In Texas there are certain rights. In rights to life, liberty' and the persuit of happiness in a pickup truck. Its not a truck if: It has more than one color paint(from the factory). It has electic windows and door locks. It has carpet. Carpet does not count if there is mud or cow chips rubbed in. No scratchs in the bed/ No trailer hitch. Its jacked up so that you need a ladder to get in. Trucks are made to work. Use and abuse it. Jeanette you know what I mean.
  11. The three things that people never believe about me are. One. The first time I rode a motorcycle I did a wheely up until I hit a truck and went under it. 1970 Two. I died in 1999. Three. Earlier this year I shot myself in the head with a 45.
  12. THose are fighten words to a Texan. New York City is considered as a joke. What realy makes Texas men tough is Texas women.
  13. Anyone for a little camping trip to the everglades.
  14. Jean can't wait for the move. You've been missed in God's country"TEXAS". I'll be praying for a buyer.
  15. And the first thing that police cadets are taught about gun retention is?
  16. I can't be that old. I remember when he had hits on the radio. I remember hearing of his death on the way home from the ROA.
  17. OK Avatar first. This was the closist to what I felt at the time and also because there wasn't one with a guy holding up 20 guns. Ok lets atart over cause I don't have an avatar since the sight change. Lets talk about my handle.

    Texas

    Hey wayfer I know where San Angelo is. I'm about three hours the other way. For all you people who don't know west Texas thats 200 miles. 250 if the highway patrol isn't looking. West Texas is God's country because you don't have to share it with anyone else.
  19. The glass is there to prevent people from stealing the plywood. DAAA
  20. It was there a couple of days ago allong with state by state. Am I missing something other than my mind or have I been kicked out.
  21. Ya'll are worrying about nothin. I would worry about when she is going to move back in and whom/what will come with her. Congrats on her graduation.
  22. First thing Belle I don't want to know anything about any sucking reflex mentioned in the same sentance the word fart is used in. OK as far as the headlight goes. We must assume that the headlight is burning creating photons. Since they are traveling at the speed of light they are simpply building up in front of the car until it slows down. At that moment a HUGH flash of light will come from the front of the car. As far as the ball rolling or sliding down a frictionless plane it is all relative to the smoothness of both the ball and the plane it is on. The moment it hits/stikes a bump it will start rolling. The specific gravity of the material of the ball will also come into place because it take energy to get the ball rolling. Gravity will just simply pull downward. A ball made of lead will start rolling at a slower pace than a ball made of plastic and filled with air. Yes I know I have a way with this stuff. Wht else would I have taken all those physics classes in collage. BE HAPPY this was not a disscussion on thermodynamics. NOW IF I HAD ONLY LEARNED HOW TO SPELL.
  23. Ok the Judge did not fully expain the law. In Texas, after dark, you may shot someone stealing your property if you don't reasonably believe you can recover it. During the daylight you can only kill to preserve life. That being said. If he's dead who is to say that he wasn't trying to kill. I have more guns than I need but less than I want. I have somewhere around 10000 rounds of ammo. I'd have more if I could keep the boys from shooting it all up.
  24. Ok since the auction is over this is the deal. I will provide a camping experience like you have never had. Three weeks in the Texas Hill country camping out at a music festival. You will think your at woodstock. You'll be hot, sweaty, and experience some really strange people. Now the cost. Only $6,100.00. Pay now and the camping starts in May. One more thing. It almost always rains. Don't forget the famous phase"If its yellow let it mellow, if its brown flush it down"
  25. Maybe its just a guy thing but its only a car/truck. Use it. Abuse it. Ride it hard and put it away wet. So far on my 2003 pickup. Deer in windshield. Insurance fixed 2001 Chevy cavaler. Her insuranced fixed. Telephone pole. I fixed. Little dents and scraps don't count
