It needs to be in a car. Put it in a civic if you have to.

Apparently you haven't seen the old Monty Python 'Piston Engine' skit.

Where an old lady is pushing around a shopping cart with a piston engine sitting in it to the park to share with her cronies because 'it was on sale'.

TRUE happiness?

Firing up the computer on a Saturday morning with my cup of joe and seeing a brand new Yadkin thread.

It's as good as it gets.

Supposed to hit in an hour. We're having a great year, weather-wise. I haven't seen things so green in 12-15 years.

20-25 years ago, when hauling from Hayward to Anaheim, I would start early and hit Harris Ranch at breakfast time. Sitting at the counter in the family section of the restaurant, I'd get tri-tip and eggs with hashbrowns and toast for $7. In an out in 20 minutes, check the load, hit the road. Good memories. That was before Costa cut the water off and there were lots of orchards out that way.

Based on all of your posts, I'd say this website brings you lots of joy. Don't feel special; you aren't the only one.

Sure would be cool to see a photo of that heart warming moment. I guess no one in your family owns a cell phone....

Here is one of me and my amazing grandsons during a Halloween trunk or treat festivity taken a couple years ago.

Good one!

When I get home from a long hard slog of a day at the office, and both my little ones scream "DADDY'S HOME!!!!!!" and they both run at top speed to give me hugs and kisses. Reminds me why I get up in the mornings!
