    Basic Info

    I can't figure out why people are so reluctant to share basic information on the profile page. I often go there when newby's join and what I'm most interested in is where you are from and how you got started and 9 times out of 10 that section is completely blank. It always disappoints me. Oh well, like Hoss says, "I'll get off the soapbox now...where's my beer !" oh, I forgot, I don't drink...

    People like to stay anonymous and some of them are the same sneakers running around peoples backyards cutting wiring and "taking" air conditioning units. Had a guy in a pickup pull into the drive of the neighbors empty house. There is a dumpster there where the neighbor is remodeling the house. The guy in the pickup jumps out and runs over to the dumpster and pulls 2 hands full of scrap out of there and runs back to his truck. He throws it in back as he's sliding behind the wheel and hauls out of there as I'm standing 40 ft away just shaking my head. I can't figure if he was a tweaker or the other. People like that just don't care, if it's outside,it's fair game.

    LOL on TheHoss.....

    Hey Dee --- It's also a pet peeve of mine that folks don't put a location down....at least a "general" location. Since I know you live in SW Georgia, I would consider driving down to view any diesel "scrap" you might have. Kind of like, the recent thread by decjr and the 250KW Onan generator, he doesn't have his location on this profile.....yet, I'm going to be driving within about 20 miles of his house in 2 weeks. I might actually buy the diesel engine from him if it is not locked up.


    ps --- I don't actually live in the city limits of Memphis, but really, really, really close.

    Let me guess....you woke up feeling like you could shave your tongue and that there was an entire college marching band playing in your head? lol
    Been there many times in my younger days and everytime I swore I would never drink again....Then my buddies would call and off I would go again.
