    Tom, I am sorry as I didn't mean to offend and I wasn't talking about the tax rules themselves as much as the methods they use to determine what one owes.




    Tie a string to your left index finger then run the string between your third and fourth toe on your right foot. While maintaining enough tension on the string to keep it straight and not allowing it to touch any other body parts determine the distance between the string and your genitals. If less than zero subtract 13 from the number of "partners" you have had during this tax year and multiply that number by the number of non Ford vehicles in your driveway to determine if you are qualified to take a mental health deduction.

    I just get grumpy this time of year as I always get reminded by my uncle of how inconsiderate I am - the audacity of me squandering money on food and shealter that I could allow others to use as they see fit for the benevolence of people I don't know.

    Bravo! ;D :D ;)

      I am pondering how soon Mike and I will become Grandparents. Babies should be born very soon ;D

      Mike is pondering if they make car shirts in newborn sizes and if 2 car seats will fit in the backseat of the cutlass

                      "Whys everybody always picking on me?" :'(

                      I don't see any of my vehicles any where in sight.
                      And if they were there it has been my observation that my brakes work better going up hill so there is probably enough room to get two more :-*

                        Speaking of brakes, what did you end up doing on your rear discs?

                          Well, I have spent an extensive amount of time measuring stuff - tire clearances between the frame and inner fender wells (through the entire suspension travel) which resulted in a slight messaging of the inner fender wells. I would really like to "move" them a little more but I am afraid of damaging the paint on the quarters if I get too rambunctious with my hammer. I also spent a good deal of time checking the caster to be sure it was reasonably close. Finally, I purchased a set of 1/8" wheel spacers to simulate the increased rotor hat thickness. I have installed the spacers and am driving the car to be sure that under loads that nothing touches. My gut feeling is that I will not be changing the brakes this year but I will know definitively what will work should I decide to go that route in the future.

                          I have sort of lost the buzz on all the upgrades I was working on. I have shelved the stereo upgrade I was working on. I have the speaker enclosures built and all the mounting brackets finished (well they still need to be painted) but I haven't even begun to research the carpet / Naugahyde options.

                          At this moment in time my wagon isn't reliable enough to go on tour. I recently spent ~$500 upgrading the fuel system and now have achieved a maximum range of 150 miles before needing to replace the fuel pump (and it isn't even hot down here yet)!

                          On a brighter note, has Earl been sticking to his exercise program? Will he be in good shape for this year's tour?

                                Well, I fully expect this situation to change. Are you using a regulator??

                                He's been patiently waiting on the TKO to be returned from Keisler.....called yesterday and it was going to be shipped today. Been doing a few minor changes to improve Earl's performance....
