We can use whatever whiskey in that mix, they all taste very good, just have to really watch how much we drink as that stuff drinks up fast. :-laf I would only drink one or 2 glasses and that's it. I want a lot more but don't want to be drunk, never been drunk yet and don't want to try. :-laf



Did the minister say a prayer, and baptized you and your goat with holy water? I don't think they've ever baptized a sasquash. :-laf

I don't get drunk much anymore. I might get a little slow, but then I quit. Usually don't get more than one or two in the evening. Here lately, I've not had anything, as I'm trying to get back on the weights. Slowed down enough, I can spare an hour or so to get back in some kind of shape. Sure helps come Spring... ...



On the baptized truck, there wasn't anyone there, since it was 2am. I took out a 15' section of wall in the baptistry. I hit a flooded section in the road, at about 60mph and 50-55psi boost. I was racing a Firebird. I won, I was the first one to the wreck. The girl in the car got so much water on her from being behind me, that she didn't even see me go off the road!!! I drove through a carwash, missed the lightpole, and caught about 2" of the foundation with the front, right corner of the truck. Bent the frame in two places, bent the wheel where it shoved it back into the front cab mount, sprung the pass door back 2", and when they opened it, it can never be shut again... ... ... . I took out the baptistry, and knocked over a book shelf full of hymnals and bibles. When the cops showed up, I was in there picking that up, trying to get it out of the rain. One cop said, "Get out here!!" I said, "I'll be there in just a minute, I'm not gonna let it rain on these Bibles. " He bounced up on the concrete, about 24" from the slope of the yard, all bowed up like he was about to just drag me out of there by the ears, and when he got up there, his eyes got really big, he realized he was a full 12" shorter than me, looked me up, looked me down, pointed at me, and with a ticked off hiss, said,"Well, when you're done, we need to speak to you. Hurry up!!" "Yes, Sir. " Took my time, too. When I got done, a senior officer had shown up, and I knew I was screwed when I walked up to him and he had Chaplain crosses on his uniform collar!! He asked me if I had been drinking. I answered yes, he gave a sobriety test, which I passed, since I had only had three beers, and then after I signed the paper work for the tow truck, he let me go. I was gonna walk home, but a Deacon from that church offered me a ride. I insisted I had caused him enough trouble, but he wanted to talk to me... ... . He was a nice guy... he used to stop by occasionally.

Nyoest: My 2 friends consume beer like there's no tomorrow. Some nights, they will down 25-40 cans of Budweiser beer through the night each. I only drink 2-4 at most.



I used to be a heavy drinker of Pepsi. 12-20 cans a day everyday for years and at one party I had all 24 cans out of the case. 24 cans is about 2. 25 pounds of sugar. :-laf:-laf

Good lord!! That'll kill you faster than drunk driving!! Everything'd be a blur if I drank that much caffiene and sugar!! That crap is liquid chainsaw on your teeth, too!!



Funny story... . surprise!!... . On my first official date with my wife, I picked her up at her mother's and asked her where she wanted to go to eat. She wanted Whataburger, so I hauled Obama before she changed her mind!!! I thought, man, I'm gonna get a cheap date!! Then I asked, "What do you want to do?" She answered, "Well, lets get some beer and just ride around and get to know each other. I'll show the local scene. " Ok, I thought, so we went to Albertson's Grocery store to get beer. I asked,"What's your flavor?" "Budweiser!"... . I grabbed a 12 pack, and when I turned around, she was looking at me funny and asked,"What're you gonna drink?" Ok, I thought, so I grabbed a 24 pack of Budwieser... . same dumbfounded look, and she said,"... . and what're you gonna drink?!?!?" Ummm, ok, so I grabbed me a case of Coors original and had to buy both... ... . HOLY HELL, that woman can DRINK!!!! I thought she'd be blitzed out of her mind by midnight, but hell no, she stayed with me drink for drink until about 2am, and there weren't many beers left in either case!!! Not long after that, I brought down to meet my friends, and my best friend mouthed off, "I can drink just about anyone under the table!! Sure as hell a woman!!" My wife took it personal, and by morning, he was asleep at the counter with his head over a trash can, and my wife and I were makin' out on the couch!!! MAN, she can put it away!!! Cheaper than Prozac, I guess... ... .

In my heyday I was up to a case of mountain dew a day. A DAY! Most people won't beleive it but I know damn well it can be done easily.



HHH your wife and mine might as well be sisters. When we first started dating we were both in college and dates costed me a lot in beer. I thought I was one step ahead of her when I broke out the jack one night. Five hours later I was in the fetal position and she was sober as a judge laughing her arse off! I'm not much on the hard stuff either!

 

[SRay]

Nyoest: A fellow heavy drinker of sugar and caffeine! So there's something we have in common besides our trucks!:-laf



:-laf:-laf at the liquid chainsaw! Yeah, most of my friends also assumed I would get a hole in my stomach but no, I'm still fine, still have teeth, not a diabetic, etc.



That was an unbelievable amount of Pepsi to pass through one person everyday. At work, I always had a 12 pack right by my lunch chair, start drinking at 10 in the morning, and it's gone by the late afternoon. I also have Pepsi at home, whether in a 12 pack or 2 litre bottle. I get 600ml bottles at the store too. Been doing that for over 12 years everyday. My friends and family never see me without a Pepsi in my hand. :-laf



If we estimate 1. 5lbs of sugar everyday which is a little more than 12 cans a day, 365 days a year for 12 years equals 6,570 lbs of sugar has passed through me. A 24 can case is 2. 25 lbs total of sugar. That's more white stuff than our goats can hold in the box.



Of all this Pepsi, no idea how much caffeine though. Never got high on caffeine, slept fine, etc.



Then about 4 years ago, my friend Dave says, "why don't you try coffee?". I told him I don't drink coffee because they're too hot for me. Then he said to try a triple/triple from Tim Hortons as they're much cooler to drink. So I tried one, then immediately I was on coffee. :-laf I nearly stopped drinking Pepsi completely. Then started drinking coffee several times a day everyday, 3 sugars/3 creams each.



As time went on, I drank less coffee, switched to Double/Double, and now just coffee with a little whitener, and a little sugar.



That's hell of a drop from that huge amount of sugar, down to just a little. Some of my coffee's don't have sugar at all.



HHhuntitall: Do you still have that baptized goat? :-laf Sounds like you're a 6'7'' tall sasquatch to that officer. :-laf God should be very pleased at your good deeds of picking up the bibles before they got ruined in the rain.



That's a good wife you got there, one that sees you as an equal beer chugging competitor. Competition can be boring for her if she's always winning. I wonder if she can hold her own against my 2 buddies?

 

[Nyoest]

SRay under no circumstances should you ever try red bull. I got hooked on that crap for about a year. You think the Pepsi would give you a kick start, that stuff is nitrous! It is good though, I've got a can kicking around here somewhere ... ... ... Like alf said here kitty kitty... ... ...

 

[HHhuntitall]

ALF!!! Auggh!! Haven't heard that in a long time!! As a kid, I loved that show!! Inspired me to be a cat killer..... that could be genetics, too. I guess we all have to be good at something... ...



Yeah, I got a good wife. She's a bit crazy, and when I call her lacking in the intelligence department, she gets mad, but I do have a case against her. Primary exhibit: she married me!!



Still got parts of the old goat. Engine and transmission went in a '92 Ford, rear went in a '97 dually I wanted to make a single wheel, bed and body were pretty much trashed. Door glass and panels are there, and the dash. I slowly rob parts off of it to keep other things up and running.



That sugar will kill you!! That's one reason so many people are over weight, I think. I try to limit myself to one soda a day, if any, usually a Coke or Sunkist. Eating out, I'll get a Coke or Pepsi with Pizza or Mexican food; it helps with digestion!! You really want to get a buzz, try a Monster or a Rooster Booster!! The Rooster's are sold in a local convenience store, and are a 44oz of 98% Nirtrous Oxide, and 2% sugar!! WOW!! I don't know how the styrofoam cups hold it!! Stuff like that usually eats through the bottom!!!! I drank one of those, and I felt like I needed a 15ft hampster wheel!! I had to stop and relieve myself every 45 minutes, but I got a lot done!! Nothing like trying to steer the tractor from the step while trying to relieve yourself off the side of the tractor while plowing!! I was losing too much time stopping!!!!



My wife used to drink Diet Coke non-stop. She'd go through a 12 pack a day, at times. Now, my wife sells Advocare products, and one of those products is called SPARK. It's some good stuff, all the caffiene of two cups of coffee AND 6 major amino acids, but no sugar!! I haven't tried mixing it with Jack Daniels or Crown Royal... ... yet..... A picture of my wife on her website... . www.advocareash.com NOT trying to sell her stuff, just remarking on how I like it..... and the Post Workout Recovery..... and Muscle Fuel... ... and vitamin packs ... ... . and ... . you get the idea... .

 

[mwilson]

Just read her ad, was dwelling on the "Short Tempered" part.



You didn't cause some of that, did you????



I have a mother-in-law that could drink anyone under the table. She is 75 now and can't pack it away like she could at, let's say 65 but still does a respectable job at it.



She retired from the paper mill at 65, put the slide-in camper in the back of her Dodge 1/2ton and headed for Alaska all by herself.



Was gone 6 weeks and she had a blast.

Called her the "Old Bat" one day about 25 years ago, my wife was horrified but the MIL just loved it.

Signs all of my cards and stuff with "The Old Bat" to this day.

A great lady.



Mike.

That's funny, right there, I don't care who you are, if you ain't laughin' at that, you ain't got a pulse!!:-laf Consider yourself lucky to have one that will at least laugh with you. Mine might as well be in a coma. Might be easier if she was... ... ... . My FIL was a blast, though!! He was a doctor, ran triathlons, loved to hunt. Lost him to cancer; diagnosed himself... ... the world got a little darker that night. :{



My wife was short tempered before we met; I'm just an excuse for her. You should ask her about goat-punching. She's good at it. Especially one that has eaten her beloved magnolia tree... ... ... . I've always had a bad temper. I've been known to get in a fist fight with a 1,000lb steer..... and win. I single handedly redefined the definition of "Cowpuncher. " But she made me so proud I just about busted!!! That goat was bleeding from one ear, was missing hair on it's arse, and wouldn't come near her for a month!!! Wouldn't get near that tree, either... ... .

 

[SRay]

How is it possible some ladies can drink so much booze without passing out?:-laf



Must've cost a part of a ranch to afford that much moonshine. :-laf



HHhuntitall: Any Diet pop with aspartame is a FDA approved poison that's harmless until it enters the body where it has a chemical reaction and converts into wood alcohol. The wood alcohol is similar to the poison of a fire ant. For some people, it has been known to cause harm too. I can't even drink them myself without my stomach feeling bad. #@$%!

 

[SRay]

Nyoest: I don't drink any energy drinks and have no future interest in them as well. Everything is expensive enough nowadays and don't need another addictive product.



I've already been bitten by the B. O. M. B bug with my truck. :-laf so that's enough addictive stuff at the moment.

 

[HHhuntitall]

Yeah, that aspartame is a real killer. I can taste it, somehow, and it makes me sick to my stomach, too. I've been bitten by hundreds of fireants, several times, and it doesn't bother me, much. That crap is worse!! A good buddy of mine, his dad will drink a 12pk a day when we're farming. No water, just Diet Coke. I have no idea how he doesn't pass out when it's 110*F and we're working on a combine with no wind except what's blowing chaff and hot air all over us..... baffling!!



BOMBing my truck is definitely addictive!! I can't help it, I love it, and do it part time on other people's trucks!!! I've got my cousin's truck pulled apart, he blew a headgasket, so I had the heads o-ringed and rebuilt, got some 12mm studs, and we're putting it back together the next day or two, hopefully. Also got another friend's truck that the torque convertor broke in, and the sprag locked it up in forward..... I think. Hopefully, a torque convertor will fix it..... also got one of the ranch trucks I hope to start on next week; it was rolled so I gotta put a cab on it. Haven't had time to get to it... ... I don't like autos, much... ... always working on 'em, seems like to me. When I had the time, I didn't have the money.....

 

[SRay]

I'm sure after you've been bitten by over a hundred fire ants, you probably blew up like a balloon. :-laf



Ugh! diet pop in heat, I'll just give to the fire ants themselves. I drink pepsi, coffee in the heat up here. Much better!:-laf



So far, not much mods yet. No $$ yet, but soon. Truck is 2 payments away from being paid off.



-SBC 3600 triple disc clutch (not sure yet)



-no idea what turbo yet,



-replacement gear housing (#@$%! killer dowel pin),



-"Go das biggin shtickin for kangaroo choppin or go home" camshaft, :-laf



-new Toyo MTs,



-likely a Fontaine fifth wheel with slider, (HHhuntitall's idea for burliness and ease of removal)



-air ride suspension in the rear (got 8 leaf springs per side in there right now, easily holds about 8-10,000lbs in the bed)



I hope Santa gives me all that. (I've been a very good boy):-laf

 

[Nyoest]

I hope Santa gives me all that. (I've been a very good boy):-laf

Sure you have. Just hope Santa can overlook the occasional coup/ dick tatorship and your all set!

 

[SRay]

Nyoest: Shhhhhh! I don't want Santa to know I "was" a dick tator.

 

[HHhuntitall]

Ohhhhh!! Ouch!!! Nyoest, you didn't happen to send Santa a letter did you? Just an email with this link... ... .



SRay, you might as well be buying lotto tickets(or powerball, whatever you have "up there"). I keep hoping and praying I'll win..... I pray every night, three or four times a day..... I finally got an answer the other night. As I was praying, I heard a small voice, quiet but frustrated, and it said,"... at least meet me half way. Buy a ticket..... " (that's a joke, btw).



I'm not sure what mod's you plan on, but a triple disk is overkill, IMO, for a daily driver. I had a double disk SDD-3600(or was it 3850?) in my '96 for a while, and it was a little hard to drive in town. 2nd gear was too much to take off if it was much of an incline. The clutch just grabbed so hard, it would lurch so hard, I didn't like the way it launched. If you gave it any fuel, it would bark the tires, but if you didn't give it much fuel, it would kill the engine. I've got a SDD-3250 in my '03, and it's ok. The truck is too heavy to take off in 2nd, though, too. I just used first in both, and floated the gears up. But they'll really hold!! My '96 was doing 60-66psi boost, and one week I ran a 14. 92 1/4 mile with it at 103mph... ... blew it up the next day, but..... The '03 I use for towing, mostly, and I've never had a problem with it..... other than arguing with some DumbObama that tells me my throwout bearing is going out... ...

"Hey, you're throwout bearing is going out!!"

"Ahh, no, it's a SouthBend Double Disk. "

"No, I can hear the bearing every time you push in the clutch. "

"No, what you hear is the two friction plates and the center disk rattling while spinning. "

"No, I can hear the bearing when you push the clutch in. I'm a professional mechanic, I know what it sounds like, I've replaced 38 billion of them in the last 23 hours!!"

"OK. Have a nice day. "

"You need to have that fixed. "

"Nooooo, you need to educate yourself. "

"You're telling me I don't know what I'm talking about?!!"

"Yep. Have a nice day. "

"I've been doing this for 324 years!!! I know what I'm talking about! Your throwout bearing is out!! You'll ruin that clutch if you keep driving it!!"

"Don't make me hurt you. "

Blank stare. "Uhhhhhh... . "

"Are you still here?!? Don't you have someone else to annoy?!? Friends..... family... ... ... ... ... ..... poisonous reptiles?!?!?"



I've got a 1947-OFE single disk in my '97, and it's awesome. It holds at 50psi boost, loaded heavy, it's easy to let out, doesn't chatter, and no lurching. I think it's the ticket if you drive fairly easy. I put a 6spd and a new engine in it a few years back, and so far, it's my favorite clutch. I float the gears, though, and don't use the clutch much. But it holds well on take off, like when I'm in 4wd and pulling 30-40k lbs on my flatbed. I use 4low quite a bit, too. I've got Dynatrac locking hubs on it, too, so 4 low is great when backing up with that much weight. I just put the same clutch in my '93 with the nv4500, and I like it, too.



Just suggestions. If you get down, I'll let you drive each one..... if they're running!! They're all up and going right now, so you'd better hurry before Spring gets here and I go back to work!! Oops, I sold that '96... ... But I've got the '03, and you can see how hard the clutch engages. It's like driving my KW!!

 

[Nyoest]

I agree with HHH. I've heard his clutch and he does need to replace the throw out bearing.

Oh wait a minute... ... . He he he

I've got the DD southbend street clutch, the model escapes me currently but it's good for 700 horse. It's too much in city traffic my left leg gets pumped up like Ahnolds and my right one gets jealous. Engagement has gotten better after 5,000 miles but it takes some finesse to launch some what smooth. Never has slipped a bit though.

Maybe I just need more horse power at idle so it can shear through the clutch, hmmmm hey SRay you still have Santa's address?

 

[SRay]

Nyoest: I think Santa's address is the South pole.

HHHuntitall, Nyoest: since SBC builds clutches, I was thinking the triple disc with the organic or whatever most street clutches use and a 3250 or 3600 pressure plate. More clutch surface and less pedal effort. Then I'm hoping will be fine for 1,000 horses.

 

[Nyoest]

You must have some big kangaroos to chop!

 

[SRay]

HHhuntitall::-laf:-laf on rolling up your sleeve, baring teeth, cracking knuckles, heavy breathing, face going red at the dumbobama. :-laf

 

[SRay]

Nyoest: Yeah, maybe HHhuntitall's cattle as well. I've always wanted to try 1,000 horses in a Cummins:-laf

 

[RSchwarzli]

Wow. I have not read all this since my last post in this thread but dang you all have a lot of hot air!



And Shawn, Santa does not like you since last year you punched him out thinking he was a burgler. :-laf
