Since when did we start saying it is ok for illegal immigrants to trespass on a mans property, kill his livestock, break in to his home, and destroy his property. Then when he uses force to detain them on his property and turns them over the proper law enforcement agency we allow the illegals to sue the man for $32 million dollars. Then turn around and find him not guilty of civil rights violation but force him to pay $73,000 to 4 illegal women because he held them at gunpoint to detain them on his OWN property. Sorry but that is wrong. And quite frankly I think he should have been awarded a medal for doing something, not many others seem to take the initiative. ht…

You guys have it good when it comes to buying parts for our trucks. I have been looking at the Kool-vue tow mirrors for my truck on discount's site, about $68 /each. Then I have to buy they brackets from the dealer at $17 each, then I have to ship them to a friend in Indiana, send them some money or put it in their account and have them ship them to me here in Canada due to the fact discount wont ship to Canada. So I figure i'm looking at about $225-$250 buy the time I pay exchange and all the costs. I called the dealer and they can get me the Mopar aftermarket tow mirror kit for $325 + tax, so i'm looking at shy $400 . Not sure what i'm going to do, I want to save the m…

Here you go...

Last trip to St. Joe State Park to ride dirt bikes, well and the time before that, trailer brakes have stopped working. In the morning some of the lights on the trailer weren't working but magically did when enough things were kicked. So I knew it was kind of a mess under my truck but I didn't even think it was *MY* truck that was the problem, but I stand corrected now. You can see in the first pic, or maybe you cant, but the bigger connector has 3 wires going into it, 1 cut off, then only 1 wire leaving it ( I know it looks like 3). There were about 5 other wires going to nothing, 5 more wires that had been physically split by corrosion (including trailer brake wire)…

Geez... I'm getting rather tired of the cold temp and even colder night temps it just to wet and cold for even going out camping... Check this out here is tonights low temps...

Well gang... As of 3:07pm yesterday we lost power to a tree that fell throught the power and phone lines. It remained out for over 14 hours. But also brought forward the fact I need to do some maintenance on my power plant. The batteries are nearly wiped out They would barely hold up for about 1-2 hours with just a few small appliances running. Then after that going out and fighting with the gasoline generator to get it started... :banghead: But all in all we had power till about 9pm and I shut down the genrator. The pelton wheel could hold a refridgerator and freeze for the night. So I need to look into new batteries for the system...

I was over at Tractor-Froum.net and checking out a few thread over there and found a thread on unemployment. so I pressed play and watched... All I can say is WOW! http://cohort11.americanobserver.net/latoyaegwuekwe/multimediafinal.html Source of info... http://forum.tractor-forum.net/showthread.php?t=12506

It's been a couple of crazy weeks... My step-son got married... Yeah, the wanted me to be presentable so I need to shop for hard to find in my size clothes that I'll likely never wear (or fit in), again... It went smoothly. They say the band was very good. I could not talk to my sister sitting beside me so they must have been very good indeed! We set up a small base of operations for our annual Rendezvous trip... just a single supply tent & minimal gear... My Step-daughter's Masters graduation... (maybe I can wear those clothes again before they're outgrown!) Back to Rendezvous... My MS was not happy so I did not attempt to overnight bu…

Well Gang... The river water is rising again tonight... I'm also a active fire fighter and search and rescue volenteer. So if I'm here one minute and gone sorry... I got a bigger problem to handle so...

I been working on a bunch of formulas in excel and I finally got it to where you can find amps/ohms/watts/volts if you have any 2 of the 4 variables. That's sheet #1, sheet #2 is just plain fun because you can figure out exactly how much something uses and costs you over a period of time based on any 2 variables. I had some issues with those with openoffice or google apps so I will post 2 variants. On the bottom left of the spreadsheets is the page selector for those who didn't know, so you can switch between the 2 there. If you guys have anything you want a spreadsheet for just let me know. I can find calculations for basically anything and love working with excel. …

I think he is smoking a crack pipe to think that OTR vehicles can double their mileage. The only thing that can move a heavy load is energy. Whats next, fly a 747 or an air bus on half the fuel? That is why I hate politicians, they have no clue about the laws they try to enact. http://www.fyurl.com/redirect.php?fyid=&url=http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylt=ArAIrSDIo8cMajqEXJG3LdVG2vAI;_ylu=X3oDMTFnMXBta2M5BGlpZAMxNDMxMjg4MzczODAxODU3Njg1NwRub2gDMwRwb3MDMQRyaWQDMTEyODkzMw--/SIG=140s5d9l6/**http%3A//us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/topstories/*http%3A//news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100521/ap_on_re_us/us_obama_fuel_efficiency

Been about a week since we came home from the hospital. Still a tiny little thing.

Some of you know I produce my own power here at my place... Well I'm going to show you how to get the most from you water source... My irrigation system is 1" line at 120 PSI roughly... It's feed from a dam about 1/4 mile back on the mountain. (I'll get pics of this soon). But I added a debris filter to prevent plugging of sprinklers and the pelton wheel jet... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1020 Normally get about 71-72 PSI after the pelton wheel is running this brings down the water pressure and keeps my garden hose from looking like water wennies... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1019 But …

Hey gang... Check this out I paint my shop floor white... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1008 The killer part of this is now with the mild weather you can open up the shop door in the morning hours and get a ton of light in the shop. The awesome part is that you no longer have to have a 150W shop light cooking you under the truck. The light reflects all over under the truck just like if you flipped it up-side-down... No joke...

Hey gang... Lets see some pictures of your truck. Now there is a catch though.. I want to see pictures of your truck working hard. I don't want to see the glossy show and shine pics. I want to see some good hard working truck that get dirty and get the job done... Also remember there is a photo gallery here... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/album.php Because I've got a wild hair thinking about creating a video of our truck and how they work hard... So let gather up those pictures. If you got videos to share with the group you can with youtube but I might ask you for a copy of the video too so I might use it...

Mike I sent this to you in a PM but figured this forum could use the activity and perhaps someone else may benefit from it so I reposted it here. I am playing with the 3.0.9 verson of Vbulletin. I opened up the upload folder, then install folder, control A, copy, then go to the wamp folder, then www folder, then install folder. Am I correct so far?My question is do I just highlight the files in the wamp install folder, delete them and then paste the new 3.0.9 files into the wamp install folder? Then I need to change the config.php.new to config.php?Open the config.php file with word pad.change database to test.savethen go to browser an type in localhost/install/install.…
