Got to love it when all you have to do is pop the hood to cool down the motor.
So are you hooked on GAD? It hurt that I could not go this year.

Yes Jim it was nice to finally meet you and Tammy in person. We are making plans for next year already. I'd like to get to cordova but for that I think I'd have to fly in or take a week off to make the drive.

We had no problems on the trip there or home but discovered that the guy driving my triaxle was too close to the excavator, the operator not paying attention went and spun the machine and put the counter weight into the dump body

next time the truck will stay parked
