i've stayed outta this-especially since i'm the nasty old critter that started the wal mart thing. the truth is, after thinking about it, this is the first year of my life i won't have a father sitting at the head of the table, and the whole thing is out of whack----that said.

some of you guys i have had the distinct pleasure to personally meet. some of you i've conversed with on the phone. i figure we did this because we had a common interest, and from the bolt page that interest turned into friendships. hard to do when the joint is so sterile that we can't read each other's personality.

i've been here since barry was the moderator, and really guys, he did one hell of a job. things got alittle out of whack, and then alot out of whack after that. now, thanks to the general and trucked up, i guess things are getting back into ---uhhhhhhhh----whack.

the crap that comes from religion and politics nearly shredded the website. i can understand dad and the little general getting frustrated. hell they were sponsoring a barfight in a trailer park with retarded people. not the intended use of the site i'm thinkin'. maybe somebody can see from the past what works, and what don't. the simple rule i think is common sense. guys are gonna post off topic, and some of us with a stick inserted vertically you know where are gonna scream.

i figure this entire website is posted for information, but somewhere in the mix it was intended for friendship, family, and pure enjoyment.

and yeah-the swap meet ought to be separate.

and yeah, a special place for truck related e-bay stuff ain't a bad idea.

and by the way-----joy-joy does a pretty good job.

time to go yank the christmas post.
