    rob i have a valid point i realy want you to think about!first you have this kid your gona team with so you can get the great white hope back on the road,this being said winter is comeing,snow is comeing,im looking at this from a safty stand point,i dont know how much exspirence you have drive a big truck in the snow rob ,and or icey conditions or dealing with black ice,???abd our gona turn this kid loose after a while of running wth him,???????i started thinking about this as i was takeing my seenic tour up and down the mountains of west vigina today,???i hopeing you use some increadable judgment here rob,as you and i have discuced on the phone it is no fun what so ever haveing to exsplain to a loved one why he/she is not comeing home anymore,iv had to do it three time and trust me when i say it get harder everytime,to look in a wives face in one thing but to see the kids and try to exsplain it ,its heart wrenching!!!! its something that was passing thru my mind as little as it is lol but rob its one of those things money cant fix,so dig deep down inside and befor you put that truck in the snow with 2 rookie drivers when it comes to snow and ice,if one makes a misstake it could be deadly for both,,,,just wondering on what your thoughts are on it rob,remember stoping that truck loaded on snow is a whole lot differnt than,dry or wet pavement for that matter

    I'm down here in St George on the way back north right now. It is like summertime here again tonight. Talk about a fast moving front.

    Liberal Blue Fun Montage? :)

    It really is a shame that #### hill couldn't have stayed dormant, AC is still kicking I heard, but no way it's anywhere near the same. It never did hold a candle to Olongapo. Wasn't much better R&R than taking a couple of girls out to Grande Island for a few days.
     
    Big Red Thanks this.

    Yea i changed my opinion about a few things. One thing we don't need are arguments and that's what was happening that's what my first quote meant.

    Here that! Shocked I suppose is a word I'd use too. Who knew (aside from Ken)? I would have never got that one, not in a bazillion years:biggrin_2551:
