seems just about every weekend if you travel the roads of north alabama enuff you will find one of my POS vehicles sitting on the side of the road.. last weekend it was the mustang .. last nite i got low on beer and had to make a panic run to the store.. raining cats and dogs as it has been here for the last 40 days and 40 nites..the dodge truck that has been so faithfull barely got me there and back .. i`d loved to have had to walk 5 miles in blinding rain .. this morning i did`nt want to trust the dodge to take me to the gym so i fire up the V6 pinto sitting in my back yard .. it immediately sinks about 6 inches into the muddy ground .. i think well i`ll let it sit and run and get warm while i take the dodge down the street and see if i`ts ok .. i`ts not ok !!! .. a mile down the road it quits completely .. now iv`e got to hike a mile back home knowing the pinto is sitting idleing stuck in the mud probably gunna run hot .. i run-walk as much as i can and finally get home .. i take the V8 pinto and tie it to the V6 pinto with the longest rope i can find and since `im by myself i have to put both in gear and run from one to the other trying to get the V6 unstuck .. when it does break free the V8 is pulling me along in the mud with the V6 in gear. .. i race to catch the V8 just before it meets a tree .. put it in park then race back to catch the V6 just before it slams the V8 .. man it mite have been funny had it been on video .. went to the gym and did my workout .. on the way back stopped and the dodge fired rite up .. brought it home now iv`e got to hike a mile back and abscond with the V6 pinto ... i promise .. saturday i`m buying some kind of new or newer vehicle .. dang a bunch of junk .. everything i have is for sale soon except the mustang and possible the dodge if it aint too much trouble to fix ... i normally dont hit the sudweisers so early in the day but today i cant help it .. just wish it was`nt so warm that i`ll be tempted to get tha stang out .. i mostly only have enuff courage to drive it if i`m buzzed ..

stodgy looking old bitty ( the woman i mean ) looks a lot like the meanest old school teacher i had when i was in the 3rd grade ..cool dodge though ..

now we know how these things can fly around the world so easiely

Or for those who've never seen the show, alot of guys with more money than sense, and some cool cars.

this was an old drag car probably 50 years ago .. still has home made ladder bars holding the rear end in

it just has not been a champion day today folks .. for several days i`ve been hearing water spraying under my home but it`s just been too cold to do anything about it .. well this morning i finally get under there and find a split pipe gushing away .. in cutting it off for repair i cut into an adjoining pipe so now i have two to fix .. well mobile home plumbing in the year my was made is all plastic weld crap .. luckily someone invented a quick connect gadjet that simply did miracles .. so i come inside and my gas heater does`nt want to stay lit and my electric heat runs full blast full time .. finally blow air all over it and get it to stay lit .. also have a kerosene heater going .. just went to the store to get more kerosene and was run off the road by someone not watching where they were going .. luckily the ditch was flat .. just did a dukes of hazzard detour and found the road safely again ..the day is`nt even half over .. too early to hit the sudweisers .. actually `im too scared to hit them . what else could go wrong and i be too buzzed to react .. i may just go back and hide under the bed sheets till monday morning

Hoss sounds like work last night. I was getting ready to go home(work in neonatal intensive care unit) when the emergency buzzer goes off. My coworker goes to the delivery and calls me saying get the table ready. Well we have two tables for really sick kids, both in use at the time of the call, the backup table is brand new. I turn it on and it gives a circuit failure message, I'm panicking trying to get ready for this kid, grab an old dinasaur of a table from storage, (works like a charm!) then I'm setting up the oxygen only to get an oxygen sensor failure! Again back to the storage for a old unit. Never in my ten years have I had two simultanious equipment failures! Kids o.k., I didn't get much sleep due to the adrenaline rush prior to going home! Some days you just need never crawl out of bed!

Geez, and I've just been loafing all weekend!!! Resting up so I have enough ambition to watch the football games (aka-take a long nap) tomorrow. But I'm gonna really hit it on Monday!!!!!!

1971 tag still visible on the rear bumper .. is`nt that sad
