I love that show!! It's so funny.

Has anyone seen the beginning credits of SmashLab? It usually follows MB. They wreck a perfectly good Airstream trailer!! Drive it & the SUV towing it right of cliff. (Not a huge cliff, but it was still smashed when it hit the bottom.) Haven't seen the actual episode, but I was upset when I saw that!!

Thanks. I finally got around to joining on photobucket. My nephew is on there all the time now. He & his wife just had a baby boy in January. Boy, you can tell that kid is an Evans!!! He looks just like my younger brother's baby pictures!!

But then again, both of my boys act like my younger brother. Especially Leo (the younger one), he gives us "Uncle Jeff" looks all the time!! And will answer to "Jeff" when he's in trouble too! He just runs the other way then, and giggles. He's so ornery!!

OOOOh! Is Uncle Jeff going to get payback with his little one? It's fun to corrupt somebody else's kids; it's entirely different when its your own!

That's why grandchildren are so much fun!

Unfortunately, Uncle Jeff doesn't look to be having any kids. I'd just send him mine, but I'm afraid they'd come back w/ new tricks!!

Uncle Jeff is a firefighter & his wife is a couple of years older than me & they have 3 dogs. I don't think she's interested in having kids. I think she's turning 40 this year, but not sure if it's this year or next.

My brother just snickers when he finds out what the boys have done. They're coming down later this month & we're all going to Disney (for a day), but he'll get the chance to spend time with the boys then. They still live in Ohio near my mom.

I'll take your word for it

No kids?! Oh, that's the worst kind

Yeah, Jeff would make a great dad. But I don't think she wants any. But they like to go to Vegas & travel as well, & kids would slow them down. Jeff did put the boys on his life insurance policies as secondary beneficiaries. He'll probably end up as their guardians, but we still haven't made out wills. Just keep forgetting to do it, & Ben is almost 5.

I actually saw that episode. They were trying new ways to stop the rig in an emergency. They were actually going to try rocket boosters like on the cartoons. I didn't see how it ended though.

He can just spoil yours as their uncle!

Don't feel bad about the will. My oldest is 11 and we just did ours 2 years ago

I think I saw that as well....or at least part of it. I never did figure out exactly the point they were trying to make.

Yeah, he probably will when he's down in a couple of weeks.

One day we'll get around to it. Of course, we're like everybody else, worth more dead than alive.....

Been a little busy, but I thought I would drop a bit of chitchat here (definitely not useless facts). I got my TV Converter Box Coupons in the mail today. Be forewarned, they have an expiration date on them!! My expiration date is 06/08. So don't be fooled into thinking you can wait to buy these boxes.

My 11 year old dd rode this one last fall at Cedar Point, it's the Top Thrills Dragster. I was VERY scared and couldn't wait for it to be over. She and her friend waited over an hour to go on it. It was a windy day and the car that went up in front of them didn't make it up the hill and they came backwards back down. My dd's car was the next one and we could talk to them while they were waiting. When the car in front of them came back down I FREAKED out and insisted she get off the ride. She said she was fine and my DH told me to chill out. I was sooooo nervous though. It goes VERY fast and you see it goes pretty much straight up and down. She loved it and ended up doing it again just before the park closed that night.

Actually, the pic I posted was Kingda Ka at Great Adventure it is the same coaster, just about 25' taller and roughly 10mph faster than Top Thrill Dragster.

Well we dug out the old pontoon for the first fish'n trip of this season today. Took a while to warm up , it did hit 71 degrees.Only fished for half a day but we came home with 3 Crappie, 3 Sand Bass (yellow), 1 Bream (sunfish). DW caught one Largemouth (no not me) that just missed being big enough and one Crappie that was 1/4" too short. So that still makes me a happy, happy boy. ..Frank

Boy has it been slow today. Where is everyone?

I'm quoting this from TCDs trip report:

I met a man who was a lurker, and who had read every one's posts. He was a nice guy, and he subsequently became a disboard member, but it really made me think. Anyone can get into the Fort without having to identify him or herself. It doesn't make me feel real safe. I have never had a problem there, and never even bother to lock the camper, but I don't want to announce my presence to the world.

Ive been highly concerned about this type of situation as well...especially as of late. Im giving major consideration to changing my upcoming reservations, not neccessarily for my safety and I am definately able to protect my family...but what if I leave the site to grab some beers from the TP....its just ashame I havent been more discreet with my vacation plans, and even more of ashame that some people have gone to such great measures to make us feel the need to exercise extra caution.
