Whoa-oa, here she comes!

Watch out boy, she'll chew you up!



She's a man-eater!

There's a movie about that.

It's called Teeth.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

I am waiting for the musical.

Teeth as a musical.

It would be a money maker.


Yes, yes I did just say that.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I been meanin' to get a DVD player . . .

Maybe after some FDR stimulus plans runs 'lectricity to my teepee.

It was Josey after Laura Lee had given him the "watch chain".


They just left at oh dark thirty headed for points south. She has to be at work tomorrow. It was too damned short a visit.


I guess I'll have to console myself with Mopar parts.

It is always best to be left wanting more.



Families can wear out a welcome like nobody else; they have shortcuts to all the nerves...

I don't know why, and it would be to your benefit not to try and figure it out, 'cause I can think crazier than a june bug in a rose garden. But...

Have ya ever wondered what these threads will read like in 20 years, providing we all make it through that many summers?

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

I can tell you about the effects and changes of ten year's worth of posts...

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Junior has never been like that to me . . . but I could be that way to him, I suppose.


Family can conjure some real love-hate dynamics.

Usually our get-togethers go pretty well too. We know where the crazy buttons are, but choose not to push them.

That is the antithesis of my family...


Nothing better than getting drunken uncles all wound up.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Ours went pretty well - no squabbling.


With Mom there, the sanity level is always a tad questionable.


Of course, they let me in, too, and that should tell you something.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

[Wat_Tyler]

There is iron in blocks of Mopar engines, and it calls to me.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

With a rebel yell it cries Mo MO MoPa-a-a-a-a-a-r-r-r-r-r...

 

[Bidin~Time]

Lol...

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Some TTI exhaust bits will be puttin' some more yell into it.


Shopping for radiators at the moment.

That's why I stopped posting my pics in the Am section!

You're as cold as ice...
Some days you sacrifice!

180-195 would be nice.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Yes, a narrow range...

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Gotta keep the ponies well-cooled and watered so they'll be ready to run when called upon.
