To the family and friends of Jeffrey, from our family to yours,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We are very sorry for your loss.

The one here I was telling you about is gone but I'm still rattling the trees brother.

Did you check with the new wife yet, Bo.   

I got the green light,

The one here I was telling you about is gone but I'm still rattling the trees brother.

BIG Thanks to our Veterans  :bow.gif

Glad to hear the good news!!

Prayers going out for a speedy recovery.

Some of you guys need a serious education in the way our government works.  It's pathetic the way people fall for political rhetoric.  Go do yourself a favor and learn what each of the three branches of government do before you start spouting off.  At least you might have a chance of catching yourself before proving your ignorance.

Diggin is right,

Here are a few tidbits you may find insightful......



Part 1 

In just two years .  Remember the election in 2006?

Thought you might like to read the following:

A little over one year ago:




1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;

2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;

3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.




Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:




1) Consumer confidence plummet;

2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.50 a gallon;

3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);

4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);

5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;

6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.




America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!




Remember it's Congress that makes law not the President. He has to work with what's handed to him.



Quote of the Day........'My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world.  I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it.' -- Barack Obama






Part 2:

Taxes...Whether Democrat or a Republican you will find these statistics enlightening and amazing.

  www.taxfoundation.org/publications/show/151.html

Taxes under Clinton 1999                   Taxes under Bush 2008

Single making 30K - tax $8,400             Single making 30K - tax $4,500

Single making 50K - tax $14,000          Single making 50K - tax $12,500

Single making 75K - tax $23,250          Single making 75K - tax $18,750

Married making 60K - tax $16,800       Married making 60K- tax $9,000

Married making 75K - tax $21,000       Married making 75K - tax $18,750

Married making 125K - tax $38,750     Married making 125K - tax $31,250



Both democratic candidates will return to the higher tax rates



It is amazing how many people that fall into the categories above think Bush is screwing them and Bill Clinton was the greatest President ever. If Obama or Hillary are elected, they both say they will repeal the Bush tax cuts and a good portion of the people that fall into the categories above can't wait for it to happen. This is like the movie The Sting with Paul Newman; you scam somebody out of some money and they don't even know what happened.






PART 3:

You think the war in Iraq is costing us too much?

[WAY]

I just left you a message Bo. I just called Tampa Spring and they want $900 for both axles to re-arch and add a piece of steel to keep the arch.
He said about $600 if I bring him the springs. Thats alot of freakin money in my opinion.

WAY too much if you are doing the work!!

I'll give ya call

The problem with re arching is that to gain much lift the springs are basicaly bent into more of a U. this will effectivly shorten the spring eye to eye distance and cause the shackles to operate  in a weird position. Just put what ever size tires that you want on it and start cutting away sheet metal until they dont rub anymore.

If your looking for significant lift, Chillin is right. buy a lift to acquire the proper spring length. If you are only looking for an extra inch or 2 over stock height, you can re-arch and make sure you add a helper to the bottom of each spring stack. This will keep the re-arch alive for a loooong time.

Way to go Swampy!!

Congratulations!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Yunt!!

LMAO

Bo voted No...There goes the NeighborHood!!!
