Member gets a lead on a truckload of sandcast engines for $800.  Some have called shenanagens (Southpark for BS) and some are rooting for the guy.  Some say it is of the Yetti ilk and others are just along for the entertainment.  There, I saved you an hour of your life reading the excrutiating details.

Very late start because of flaky friend.
Just stopped for gas. Hauling ass.
Should be there by 8:45-9:00pm central time.

Been one of those days :/

Cold as hell in Oklahoma. Windy too. A little rain as well.
I'm still driving. Will post more when we switch.

this thread is like some crap TV show that you KNOW isn't really very good. You also feel guilty, as maybe it's a little bit of an insult to your intelligence, and still you tune in. But then, you finally give in and say "you know, I don't have to always have 'smart' entertainment, and it doesn't have to be 'art'. Sometimes I just want to turn my brain off and laugh at fart jokes". Yes friends, this thread is basically "Three and a Half Men".
