howdy pahdnuz (that's partners). finally back in action. 1 week in Kamloops and then 1 in Williams Lake, Prince George and McKenzie (they're a good ways north).

i checked a couple of pages back and see our fixated deviant stalker was able to lure miss kitty back. well done Hoss.

but overall, not much posting while i was gone.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] do you guys need me to stir the pot and PO everyone? geez, i've never done that before. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I'll try to post some pics of our Kamloops trip. some awesome hillclimbs there... you might like the terrain there for dirtbiking MWQ. steep, rocky dirt hills. one of the cousins just bought a Yamaha 250 or 350 trials bike, all alum frame, kinda pinkish-purple. very cool, and can he ever climb boulders and hop around on it.

oh yeah, and one guy had a 6 wheel polaris and another guy had a Yamaha Rhino. you wouldn't believe what the crazy ***** did with that rhino, and how steep he'd climb.

 

Hey Confused, shut the hell up and quit yer belly aching…um…I mean…Hi Confusedbuyer. How are you? And no I’m not a deviant stalker; I’m just a sexy biaatch.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Sounds like you had a good time on vacation. I hope all of you had a great weekend. I spent 4-days in the mountains camping and riding the 700. It snowed on us yesterday, and I just about left the 5th wheel up there (muddy). I took the ATV trailer down first and then went back for the fiver.

I can’t believe how much snow we still have. The run-off is awesome (tons of waterfalls, swollen streams, etc.). We took turns drift breaking on ATV’s. It was all fun and games until I tipped on a drift, and threw wifey into a stream. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

which wife? er, ah, i mean... smooth move ex-lax!

 

okay MD, just posted my Kamloops pics. no rush [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img], whenever ya get a chance to approve 'em. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Anybody goin ridin this weekend?

 

Sorry about your Grandma LJ. I’ve lost two grandparents in 2 years, and have 2 Grandma’s that are not doing so well. One is getting a shunt put in her brain and the other has a leaky heart, and has to go into the hospital tomorrow. Since I’ve moved back to BFE, I’ve been helping out my paternal Grandparents. It’s hard to see them get old.

Nice pics oh great Confused one. I thought alkali flats only existed in my neck of the woods / desert.

 

GM all.

Sorry to hear about the loss LJ. Only lost a few family members so far that I've known. Only one that I really knew was my aunt. One granpa died before I was born and the other I only got to meet one time.

Riding this weekend sounds good. Let's do Miami. Maybe stretch the legs if we can up to Signal.

Confused, the 550s are just heavier duty versions of the other Super Duties. GVWR should be over, or around, 20,000. Our 450 is 15,000. Still use the same engine and trannies. They used to have a 7 speed stick, but I think they dropped it. Gotta move up to the 650 & 750 to really change things up. CAT and Cummins engines and Allison trannies. The 450/550 will get you the big rear ends though (4.88, and maybe a 5.something if you get the V-10...but WTF would you get a gas motor in that big of a truck for?)

condolences on Grandma LJ.

Hoss, do your alkali flats get muddy with rain, and really stink? These ones are mixed with cow patty, so that may help some.

i dunno skinner, if the tranny is the same how can it handle those heavier loads??????just with gearing and rear end? this 550 had a 7.3 diesel, and 6 spd standard.

 

I haven't noticed a smell, but the larger area's of alkali are always wet and muddy. They are area's that people stay away from...too bad it's all over the place (especially in area's that have been heavily irrigated). I think irrigation seems to bring that crap to the surface. We have several acre's on our farm that we can't use anymore.
