I have been there ttwice and that is two times too many, as far as I am concerned.  The first time a massive wind storm arrived the same evening we did and the second I got into a massive verbal debate with a buch of school board folks from around the country.

OK, I am convinced that Florida was in fact attached to Africa thousands of years ago >:D  It was simply Africa hot the three days I was there.

Made it home in 16 hours!  1129 miles!  Averaged 70.57 mph  ;D

Have you ever noticed how some guys are just never happy?

Just a few months ago, Kirk would not have cared about a pool...and if it was clear weather, he would have been quite happy.....

Now, listen to him gripe! :D 99 degrees and clear and sunny......just remember last winter.

Yep, I know Jay.  We will be in the high 70s and low 80s around here today.  Just a few months ago, we had 3' of snow and no power for 4 days.

Carl, perhaps one of us ought to drive from the airport? ;D

Well, Kirk, I would fax you the flight schedule, but the new fax machine is not working.  So, here is the landing schedule as I have it at this time:  I arrive United 2691, May 28 6 a.m. from Frisco.

Sounds good Frank. 

New hard drive installed and slowly working on the recovery.  I think having to upload all the programs is the biggest pain.  My data is there just cant swap it over until the programs are loaded  :(

If Ford would snatch onto the Duramax and the Allison trans I would jump ship without a second thought, however I dont think thats going to happen with the way things are going. 

We will all be driving matchbox cars and killing each other from the slightest of fender benders. >:(

They had the Allison, but gave it up for their own.  I have an Allison in my F450 with the International 7.3 power stroke.
