LOL A bunch of us went riding in Vermont one weekend and we went riding up a road with 'hill' in the name. More like a mountain. The funniest part was listening to the guys up ahead scream out obscenties everytime a switchback led to more uphill. Going down the other side was fun in a :eek: kind of way.

I need to get a receiver hitch on my car so I can use my rack again. Turns out the price differntial in my car between ordering and delivery was the towing package, which I figured out wasn't installed because they don't want a 4 cyl. towing anything.

The dumbasses left without incident. My team is still drinking. Will decide on a stop-gap bar before a teammate's husband's bday drinking this evening. It's a hate-a-liver day here!

Grandparents lived in VT on a road with Hill in the name!:) Very happy memories for me indeed with a few hundred acres and two large collies to play with. Their house was originally built in 1789 and modified in the 1930's so one of the most amazing places I've ever been in if you like slate, marble and wood walls made from the ancient sailing ships^

A friend with the same car as I have had U-Haul install hers. The dual exhaust is a real problem so you need someone that knows what they are doing.

Just finished doing a serious cleaning of my shower.

I found spraying massive quantities of Tilex. Closing door and returning 8 hrs later makes that job really easy:D

I also press clothes by putting them between the mattress and the box spring:rolleyes:

That is my usual method, although once in a while one needs to address the issue with a scrub brush.

Do you guys count a state if you merely transit via airport? I guess technically you are *there* but you really haven't seen any of the area.... Of course, if you collect airport visits, that's an entirely different thing!

Nope. My personal rule is that the bare minimum is that you have to get out of the car and do something. The minimum something is either a business transaction or a personal "transaction" (ie a rest area).

A little travelogue regarding the World Cup.

Invited to a neighbor's for supper. Odds of the topic of soccer coming up about 1.24%. Odds of going to look at his new Brahman breeding bull, 100%. Nacona boots event for sure.
