Re: King\'s Canyon- ever been?? Don't remember if it was King's Canyon, but I do remember seeing the big Sequoias & Redwoods, when I was about 8 or 9. Sorry no pics, heck I am not even sure if they made cameras back in those days

Re: Competitive Fantasy Baseball League OK, I have spoke with my agent, and got the contract ironed out, so count me in.

Re: What would you have done??? I have had 2 occurences similar to that, with the one exception being I was on the this side of the river. I believe both times the ones I encountered were workers, though. It does add a little excitement to the hunt, though doesn't it? Glad to hear it turned out good, especially with the kill a little later.

The last 5 minutes or so of the Pats/Chargers game was pratically void of commercials except for the 2 minute warning. They had scores, change of possession and time outs without a commercial.

Re: atv mud tires? OK, none of you are going through the serious mud yet. If you want to do that these are the tires you need.

Re: SHOT SHOW and the new Realtree AP and APG I like the AP that should work good.

Re: had a bad day yesterday Sorry to hear that, Steve. I will keep you and her in my prayers. It can be dealt with tho, they have quite a few medicines and treatments that will help her during those times when she needs it.

Re: atv mud tires? The hands down best all out mud tire is the Outlaw. But if you do much trail riding you don't want it. For a combination mud/trail tire you would do good with something like a Gator, Mud-lite, mudbug etc. They all get decent traction and ride decent on the trails.

Re: Congrats to the Florida Gators [ QUOTE ] Two stupid penalties led to great starting field position on Florida's first two pocessions...they capitalized and with their defense playing like them did...the Buckeyes stood no chance. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] btw- Ginn going down didn't help much either. [/ QUOTE ] Let the excuses begin

Re: Troy Smith LMBO [ QUOTE ] One game doesn't make a career fellas. [/ QUOTE ] Maybe not, but I bet it put a dent in his pocket book next year.

Re: Sign up to send SRA a card Jeff

An old prospector walk's his tired old mule into this western town one day. He'd been out in the desert for about six months without a drop of whiskey. He walked up to the first saloon he came to and tied his old mule to the hitch rail. As he stood there brushing some of the dust from his face and clothes, a gunslinger walked out of the saloon. He had a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey In the other hand he looked at the old man and laughed. Then he said "Hey old man have you ever danced?" The old man looked up at him and said, "No I never did dance, I just never did want to". A crowd had gathered by then and the gunslinger said, "Well you old fool you're gonna dance now," and he started shooting at the old man's feet. The old man was hopping around and every body was laughing. He fired his last bullet then holstered his gun and he turned around to go back into the saloon. The old man reached up on the mule got his shotgun and pulled the hammer's back making a clicking sound. The gunslinger heard this then every thing got quiet. He turned around and was looking at both barrels Aimed at him. The old man asked him " Did you ever kiss a mule right under his tail?" The gunslinger swallowed then said, "No but I've always wanted to."

Re: Which Used ATV The PoPo's are a good bike, with the 500 having everything you want and you should be able to pick up a good one in your price range. If you have any questions about the durability of a Polaris, just click on the pics link below and check out mine. I have a 700, but a couple of the guys I ride with have 500s and they perform very well. Here is a pic of my son & I out playing.

What do you think about this? The cars -- and track -- have changed quite a bit since James Hylton's first Daytona 500. Credit: James Hylton 72-year-old Hylton plans to enter '07 Daytona 500 By Mark Aumann, NASCAR.COM January 3, 2007 12:05 PM EST (17:05 GMT) Forty-one years after making his Daytona 500 debut, James Hylton feels now is as good a time as any to give it another go. With a car and engine acquired from Richard Childress Racing, Hylton announced plans to enter the 2007 Daytona 500, driving the No. 58 Chevrolet. Inside the Numbers James Hylton's career stats Starts 601 Wins 2 Top-5 140 Top-10 301 Poles 4 Laps Led 979 Avg. Start 17.0 Avg. Finish 13.5 Earnings $1,478,096 At 72, Hylton would easily become the oldest driver in Daytona 500 history. Dave Marcis was 61 when he finished 42nd in the 2002 race. "I have never been able to come to Daytona with a well-financed operation and a first-rate car," Hylton said. "I have always wanted to be able to race the 500 and not be limited by budget constraints and even though it has taken over 40 years, I am finally at that position. "At my age, the odds against me are astronomical but it's a challenge and I love a good challenge." To put it in perspective, only 15 drivers in the 2006 Daytona 500 were alive when Hylton drove Bud Hartje's 1965 Dodge to a ninth-place finish in the rain-shortened 1966 Daytona 500, five laps behind eventual winner Richard Petty. Certainly, Hylton knows his way around the 2.5-mile high-banked superspeedway, having made 36 career starts at Daytona, including 15 in the Daytona 500. His best finish came in the 1967 race, when he was third, a lap behind Mario Andretti and Fred Lorenzen. "I was running a 1965 Dodge that I had purchased from Cotton Owens and was staying on the led lap until I had a tire go down late in the race," Hylton said. "I had little financial backing, I was running with nothing." Hylton, who had been a mechanic and crew chief for Rex White and Ned Jarrett up to that point, made his NASCAR driving debut at Manassas, Va., on July 8, 1964. He finished 19th -- and took home $100. He went on to win 1966 rookie of the year honors and finished runner-up for the NASCAR championship three times between 1966 and 1971. During an 11-year stretch that ended in 1977, Hylton finished out of the top 10 only twice. Hylton's last Cup start came in 1993, when he parked his car after 62 laps at Darlington. He made his first Busch Series start in 24 years at Milwaukee in June, running four laps before being sidelined with brake problems. At that point, he became the oldest driver to start a NASCAR race, easily eclipsing Herschel McGriff, who was 65 when he started the 1993 Save Mart Supermarkets 300K at Sonoma. Hylton plans to put Washington native Damon Lusk in the No. 58, starting at Bristol. "We are looking at running 19 Nextel Cup races in 2007 and Damon is a perfect fit for our plans," Hylton said. "Over the years, Damon has exhibited that he has the ability to step up to the Nextel Cup level. "Damon had a good run in 2006 in the ARCA RE/MAX Series and 2007 will give him a chance to move up to the next level."

Re: Think I\'m gonna take flying lessons............. Looks like he missed the turn.

Re: Official Off the Porch Gang signup thread!!!!! I feel the need to apply for membership to this elite organisation. My .300 Win Mag is what is required for all game, regardless of size, that I have chased. I am allergic to cocoa, give me a nice cold Diet Dr Pepper, regardless of how cold the outside temperature is.

Re: Bowl Game Standings--as of 01/03/07 A Texas 1, 2 finish will be nice.

Re: Bowl Game Standings--as of 01/02/07 I have 124 points remaining if things fall right which would give me a total of 410. Hopefully I don't have the same picks as you, and mine are right. lol
