I posted this in another thread. But felt it was appropriate to post here- Due to the nature of our thread.

Hey all! Just thought I'd bump this thread to the top.

Well, I've been forced to slow down. At 65 mpg, I get 16-17. I have to wear a flack jacket, but damn, fuel is expensive.

Oh, the kiddies go to school tomorrow...and wifey is very happy.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Oh, pee boy struck again...this time, it was on the side of the house.
just some amateur psychology here, but i noticed he is a blond. Perhaps you and mom calling him the golden boy has confused him into the golden-shower boy????

man, do you folks ever start school early! whatever happened to AFTER the labor-day weekend?
LOL!

That's how it was[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] When we were growing up. Always the Tuesday after Labor Day weekend[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Now, you just never know. Ours starts next week. My brother's kids are in the same school district, but the started on different days[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Try to figure that one out[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

All mine start tomorrow[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] My two that are in HS start at 11:45. What's up wit that???[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Went to a little get together for one of my sons teams and there is a friend of his starting to drive with his permit. His dad and he were
bragging that he was driving 80 MPH and his dad fell a sleep while he was riding shotgun. I jumped in that converstation with both feet.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

What the H@LL is this nut teaching his kid[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] (He will grow up to drive like the rest of Cali)

Must be the tires then. And LJ's is a short bed, isn't your a long bed? The shell probably weighs more than the toneu.

It wasn't that long ago (I finished in '94) that it was Tuesday after Labor Day. Now, who knows. Schools down here pretty much all started this past Monday.

We used to start 30 minutes late on Friday a month. Always forgot when that was happening. Could have slept in a little. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] And we also got out 2 hrs early once a month as well. Now they get out 2 hrs early every Monday or Wednesday, don't remember which one it is. That's actually why they start so early here now, at least for Clovis. Fresno, who the h3ll knows WTF their schedule is, or reasoning behind it. I'm always seeing those kids leaving at noon.

That guy needs to be taken out behind the 'ol wood shed and given a lesson. Kid will probably end up wrapping himself around a telephone pole.

Funny you should say that. His daughter wrapped her first car around a light pole within 6 months of her license. In fact, we drove by about two weeks ago and I had him try to explain to me how she lost control due to hydroplane conditions. How she hit a pole of the right side of the road on a right hand sweeping turn is beyond me. I'm sure she was speeding big time also[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]
