Re: This is WRONG! [ QUOTE ] Its January 21st and its freaking 81 degrees outside! I cant believe it! I Keep seeing all these post about -30 and stuff! LOL NOT HERE IN OKLAHOMA! [/ QUOTE ] I wish it was that cool here, I have been running the A/C all day.

Re: 200,000 [ QUOTE ] if that would have been me.... LOL lets just say that you could have been able to see the tip of the speedometer needle in that pic [/ QUOTE ] No, I disagree with you there. If I would have been going any faster I would have ran over the car in front of me. And I was not able to pass due to vehicle on outside and barrier on inside of me. But I understand your point and agree.

Re: 200,000 [ QUOTE ] I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR YA texastropies, hutin4bucks and hutchies. WHAT KIND OF MOTOR OIL DO YOU GUYS USE?????? [/ QUOTE ] I use Castrol 10W30 with a change every 3000 - 4000 miles with a Fram filter.

Re: Virginia may be for lovers... I understand. You ought to see the people here in Houston the rare few times we get overpasses with ice on them. Simply amazing. "they cannot drive when it's raining or even sunny, they have to rubber neck at every accident, disabled vehicle, or piece of debris on the side of the road" That happens here also. Sorry to hear about getting rear-ended, hope you are ok, and the damage isn't to bad.

Re: 200,000 lol It was actually closer to 65 and I had to take 4 or 5 pics before one came out clear enough to see. To answer the other questions, gas, yes it still is running good, although I have had to replace two injectors. Time - over 100 mile round trip to work and a 700 mile trip to deer lease is where the majority of the miles come from.

Turned 200,000 miles on my 2001 Chevy 2500HD this morning. The following is a lot of useless information for you. 200,000 miles in 1401 days = 142.75 miles per day 200,000 miles in 200 weeks = 1000 miles per week 200,000 miles in 46 months = 4347.8 miles per month 200,000 miles @ 50 mph avg. = 4000 hrs. of driving = 167 days = 24 weeks = 5.5 months 200,000 miles @ 11 mpg avg = 18,182 gallons of gas 200,000 miles = 1,056,000,000 feet = 352,000,000 yards = 3,520,000 football fields 200,000 miles = length of 400 Daytona 500's

Re: once a spike allways a spike? Normally a spike is in it's first year of antler growth and will have a better rack in the future. If it will ever become a huge buck, I don't know. But when you see something like this one, you can pretty much bet he is a career spike.

Re: Big moose Update from the B&C website. It wasn't quite as big as originally estimated. [ QUOTE ] UPDATE: Eric's great Alaska-Yukon moose has been officially scored at 236 B&C. Should the moose be accepted at that score upon review, it would stand at 118th on the all-time list. Greatest spread was 74 inches, with 12 points on each antler (not counting a total of four abnormal points.) Definitely a fantastic trophy [/ QUOTE ] Still a pretty nice trophy

Re: QDM Results (pics) looking good

Re: My Boone & Crockett Kodiak Bear Very nice. Thanks for the pics.

Re: My 1st Texas Whitetail It is legal in Texas to hunt out of a vehicle on private property. I have never hunted on the King Ranch, but I am fairly certain that the deer are not "tame". Surely you have seen deer stand still and look at a vehicle for a short time before running off, and I would imagine that they had a few that they would have liked to harvest that did run off right away and not allow time for identifying and a shot.

Re: 4-wheelers Personally I will vote for the Kawasaki. Four wheelers are like any other vehicle, as long as you take care of it, it will take care of you. All of the brands are pretty reliable. What you should do is determine what you need in a four wheeler, what you are going to use it for, what size (cc) you are looking for ( you can get as small as around 200 cc or up to over 750 cc's). There are many variables. Once you have determined that, then go to the different dealers and test ride what they have and then decide for yourself. Asking on here what type to get, is similar to asking what is the best caliber of rifle for deer. good luck, have fun and be safe.

Re: My 1st Texas Whitetail That is a very nice buck. Congrats. The only thing I see that you have to be ashamed of or embarrassed about is the "ford" part. Welcome to the site and Congrats again.

Re: Guaranteed to Make the race rule I think they still have to make a run to determine actual starting position, but if they have a bad run, crash, break etc. the top 35 would still get a starting position some where between 36th - 42nd, simialar to the old provisional rule. What this basically does is allows the 42 or 43 fastest cars to be in the field. Which I think is a good thing. Hopefully no more 1 lap and outs.

NASCAR guarantees positions with new qualifying procedure By Dave Rodman, NASCAR.COM January 13, 2005 04:02 PM EST (21:02 GMT) DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- NASCAR Thursday announced a new qualifying procedure for its three national touring series: Nextel Cup, Busch and Craftsman Trucks. Per the procedure, a certain number of owners in each series will be guaranteed starting positions in their respective race fields based on owners' championship points, and all other entries will try for the remaining positions based on qualifying speeds. In the Nextel Cup Series, the top 35 owners in the point standings will be guaranteed starting positions somewhere within the top 42 positions in the 43-car field, based on their qualifying speeds. The other seven starters among the top 42 will line up based on their qualifying speed. In the Busch Series, the top 30 owners in the point standings will be guaranteed starting positions somewhere within the top 42 positions in the 43-car field, based on their qualifying speeds. The other 12 starters among the top 42 will line up based on their qualifying speed. In the Craftsman Truck Series, the top 30 owners in the point standings will be guaranteed starting positions somewhere within the top 35 positions of the 36-truck field, based on their qualifying speeds. The other five starters among the top 35 will line up based on their qualifying speed. Cars and trucks in either the top 35 or top 30 positions -- depending on the series -- and others will be interspersed throughout the field, based on their qualifying speeds. For example, a car owner who is making his first appearance at the 2005 Daytona 500 could win the pole position if his driver posts the fastest speed in Bud Pole Qualifying. The final starting position -- the "champion's provisional" -- can be utilized by a car or truck owner whose driver is a current or past series champion who participated as a driver during the respective series' 2004 season and was entered in the event for that owner in that car or truck prior to the entry deadline. If there is more than one series champion vying for the position, it will be given to the most recent series champion. If no past champions are in that position, the next eligible car or truck owner according to qualifying results will make the field. Teams will no longer accrue "provisional starting positions" throughout the season to gain entry into starting fields for any of the three series. The new systems assure the highest-ranked positions in the respective series' owner championship points a starting position provided they have entered the event prior to the entry deadline and have made an attempt to qualify. Through the first five races of the 2005 season, 2004 owner championship points will be used to determine the top 35 in the Cup Series and the top 30 in Busch Series. From the sixth race on, the current owner championship points will be used to determine the top positions each race week in the respective series. Through the first four races of the 2005 Craftsman Truck Series season, 2004 owner championship points will be used to determine the top 30. From the fifth race on the current owner championship points will be used to determine the top positions each race week. In the event that conditions prevent qualifying from being run, starting positions will be assigned according to the respective series' 2005 rule book.

Re: Doctor update Keep at it Norm, hopefully you get to feeling better soon. don't know much about the first two drugs, but I have taken the Loratabs before, and they just about knocked me out. Follow orders and hopefully you will start seeing an improvement soon. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
