    A blonde calls her boyfriend and says,"Please come over here and help me. I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can't figure out how to get started." Her boyfriend asks,"What's it supposed to be when it's finished?" The blonde says,"According to the picture on the box,it's a tiger." Her boyfriend decides to go over and help with the puzzle. When he gets there she shows him the puzzle spread out all over ...the table. He studies the pieces for a moment, then looks at the box, then turns to her and says, "First of all, no matter what we do, we're not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resemling a tiger."

    This is a Grass Roots effort to help keep the EPA from shutting down our countries most important energy industry. Below is a link to the site with a lot of information to get the unkowing started. http://www.stopepand.com/index.html If there are any questions feel free to post or contact me via PM. I will do my best to clear the confusion. Bill Dont' let the activists and propaganda machine fool you into thinking it is a health issue, the clean air act and the EPA's fight against the coal fired power industry addresses nothing but VISIBLE pollution.

  11. My old computers are vintage 2002. Desktop C drive is about full & as much as I love XP (because I know it), I think the support has been lacking recently.So I gave $200 (cash & carry) for a Dell 1545 laptop, Windows 7 Professonal OS. Complete with charger, software discs & manual so I don't think it was hot! It powers up ok... I have not had a chance to explore it yet.I do not find laptops convienent... I'm hoping I can plugin this larger screen, keyboard, mouse... Anybody know if I can close the cover after turning it on? Maybe tomorrow I can check out what it has for hardware.Russ

    This past Sunday, I shot an elk. I still have about 75-80lbs. of meat in the frig aging, waiting to get trimmed and frozen. Been trimming, grinding, baggging and freezing meat for the better part of the last two days.:drool:Anyhow, this came about by my buddy being a neighbor to a fellow whose brother was killed in a motorcycle wreck. The neighbor of my Bud was executor of his brothers will. This guy had a private herd of elk. His brother(executor) didn't want to maintain the herd, so my Bud told him that he knows some guys(me included) that would be glad to help him get rid of the elk.This was not an elk hunt, it was an elk shoot. They were in a 10 acre fenced enclosure…

    The integra in the photoshoot thread made me start this Anyhow if you could have any car and money grew on trees, what would you get? Don't bring trucks into this, I think it's obvious what we would get lol. When I was younger I really wanted a Saleen. When it came to mustangs there were at least 5 different models you could get, each superseding the next. At that time (2001 or so) it went something like this from crappiest to best. [*]Mustang (V6) [*]Mustang GT [*]Mustang Cobra/SVT [*]Mustang Roush [*]Mustang Saleen S281 [*]Mustang Saleen S281-E (might have came out a little later) They had completely different body work and interiors than the…

    You would not belive the heat involved, words cant describe it. Aluminum wheels melted into three foot circles one inch thick, eng., blocks melted out of the frame, nothing but the cam and lifters on the ground. Absolutely nothing left but ash, cows turned to ash. Propane tanks blowen to h___ and back, wraped around trees like horse shoes. Huge pine trees with nothing but stumps, the ones still standing look like tooth picks. A real feeling of emptyness.
