No, that's what you go there for.

Hopefully someone will be able to help you out, Nick. I would, but I live 3.5 hours away.

Yeah fargo got dumped on. Still got well over a foot on the ground up here. Luckily, with this weather, my driveway is starting to clear/dry up.




These temps are awesome!

I was actually able to get the mail without a shirt on today after working out. Felt great.

I watched Transporter 3 last night. Good action flick, made me itch for the Z and some fast, freeway chases. I'll just get my fix on Forza.

Man I have been shoveling water for 2 days. My back yard side walk and side of my house is flooded. Luckily I had the side walk running on the side of the house jacked up/cement last year.My basement does not have any water in it but my arms are killing me. I guess it could be worse, I could have a foot of snow to deal with sorry Spork.

That sucks. Since I got that patio put in last year, it's nice not to have to deal with mud coming into the house. I've got a detached garage, so this


went to this

Yeah, I hired a landscape architect, had them order all the supplies, then I did it myself (well, with help).

I thought the movie sucked big time compared to the other two transporters. One is still the best i think.
