  1. Buddy of mine owns a cement company and they switched to "super 16s" to haul material years ago, and he claimed the main benefit was the avg. driver (of his, anyway) was always and forever finding new ways to run over shit with fifth wheel dump trailers or simply jacknife them into the cab.
  2. We were selling them (live) direct to a processor in the dfw area that was processing and exporting them. Unfortunately I no longer have their contact info. and Google isn't refreshing my memory
  3. Can we trade him for an LB?
  4. Well, there were no Axe Throwing bars in the 90's.
  5. It's almost comical how so many posters are always quick to accuse defenders of individual rights as murderous hicks, like you do in your next post.
  6. Use it to troll the fuck out of them.
  7. Perhaps true but the relative intelligence of our current generation of educated class plays no small part in this (imo).
  8. This idea that the NRA is all powerful is some paranoid, naive bullshit.
  9. ? He literally said "some" in the community, and also made the point that others in that community supported the chicken place. Edit: Also, I love you.
  10. Hell I'd like to see where the HPD report agrees with the actual evidence.
  11. I see exactly one. edit: shit Rimbo beat me to it. Scroll down Gringo...
  12. Jesus.
  13. Who knows, the video is labeled LS6. Doesn't look like the cowl flapper works... Hi lift, solid lifter big blocks with rectangular ports, like the LS6, aren't going to idle very clean (if that's what it is).
  14. Lot of ads for lease deals to haul sand in the ohl fill, pneumatic trlrs but particularly for that Sand Box system (where you don't have to wait on the frac site to get unloaded as the sand literally rides in a removable box instead of a vac tank). Not sure what exactly what it pays (ad I just pulled up claims 81% of gross) or how (by the load or by the mile). Buddy of mine is talking about this and I was curious. Drifter, or anybody, don't deals like this have a spec for the truck they lease (i.e. "must be less than x years old w/ y hours or z miles")? The ads and their website don't say shit about this. What if you roll up in a 82 Mack or some shit (I s'pose a cream puff like Drifter's would be equally bad in some ways).
  15. I've had to take it 3 times, and I always thought the Introvert/Extrovert binary was obvious and therefore suspect, but I'll be damned if I innately understand the other types even today, after reading their descriptors for the hundredth time. And I always score off the chart on everything except I/O where I've scored barely Introverted once and barely Extroverted twice. When I read my overall type it does make sense, but a lot of my horoscope does as well. I guess my reaction is a blended meh. I've never had anybody oversell this test or its use in my situation so I always thought it harmless but somewhat useful.
  16. Came here to post this ^
  17. I think I've watched this 100 times
  18. For the millionth time, the two aren't mutually exclusive.

    Neighbor had the 90 cc version of these for tooling around their horse farm and let the carb get fouled. Hearing that 12 yr old Gringo was an adept tinkerer (I had a honda minibike at the time) they enlisted me to fix it. And fix it I did, cleaned the carb up and took it for a test run / triumphant return to the neighbor's house. So I head down the ditch bank, mind you I'm an accompllished mini bike badass, but this thing has a mind of its own and wants to go swimming, and we head right into the (full) irrigation canal. The rear axle remained afloat and the ditch rider helped me fish it out. The sun dried my clothes in a few minutes and, being a Honda, it fired right back up and I went the remainder of the way to the neighbors in low range. In summary, fuck those things.
