The Z71 was the truck to have back then. I’d take that one.

knew a guy in HS some that killed 3 people and shot a 4th. Like he'd hang out with our friend group and we'd drink beer together. I hadn't seen him since highschool though and he killed those people many years later. Ryan Sharpe


His dad and I are very good friends. Sad story.

I had a 2000 x56 which was an 18ft with a 115 Yamaha. It did great in the marsh and small lakes.

Well, so much for that. Bad lighting started about 10 minutes before they stopped it. Pouring here. I’d imagine it’s done for the night.

Walked around the trailers and didn’t see any drivers. The rain is close and predicted to be gone by 4. Gonna chill and go into the track around 5. We’ve never been here and I’m definitely anticipating a good race.

Don’t have any t shirts with me today . Just got to track and gonna walk over to trailer.
Amite county coop sells ag lime and believe they will spread it too. They are in Liberty.
I’d been very meticulous with changing transmission fluid and filter every 30k. It started slipped from 4-5 and 5-6. Just went with a full rebuild with that many miles . Hoping between that and having the CP4 replacement he will be in good shape for awhile.

Who did the transmission rebuild? Happy with it?


Action transmission in Central did the work. He’s put about 8k on it since it was done and no issues. Those guys do great work.
I have a couple of the current ford trucks with the powerstroke. One is a 2017 f259 with a little over 200k miles. I bought it new and recently gave it to my son. I’ve been very diligent with maintenance and haven’t had any issues until the last year. We had the transmission rebuilt and put a DCR pump in it after the dreaded low fuel pressure code. No other issues in almost 10 years.
My newer truck has the 6.7 also but mainly gets used for towing equipment. It’s only a year old and has been trouble free as expected.
My daughter will be driving soon and pulling her horse trailer to local events. I’ll probably try to find her a 17-22 F250 with the gas engine.
How big is the dam breech?

My dad was a Vietnam vet and he suffered from PTSD as well. We didn’t do fireworks but he didn’t mind others doing them around us.

looking forward to the next two weeks for some exciting racing! First time back at Chicagoland and then the excitement of Atlanta at night.


Same. My wife got us tickets to the race in Atlanta. Gonna be a great time followed by a trip to the Smokies.
I will be 50 in September. I have 5 more years and I’m retiring. That will give me 31 years with the same company. I’ll play around with my side business and travel with my wife.

Nice guy. We used to go there all the time. He knows his stuff and has been in it a long time.
The Pit Stop in Liberty, Mississippi. Great burgers and homemade onion rings.

probably wouldn’t go there just because of that


HD Gibbes has excellent steaks . They have an ice filled water trough with beer in it. Grab what you want on the honor system. It’s a cool place.

I have an 87 Big Red 250. I don’t ride it much but it cranks and goes when I need it to. It was a nostalgia buy about 10 years ago and I probably will never get rid of it. It will throw you off if you don’t pay attention to it.
The exact same thing happened to us on a flight into Atlanta a couple years ago. Glad your family and others are ok.
