However long it took you to get to the quarry, add 2 minutes to it...
And yes, there are changes in the air, probably going on a hiring spree in the next few weeks...
Takes me 45 min to an hour 1 way, my July steam bonus is getting my long arms and drive train squared away so I can get a little more than 12mpg

Holy crap! How can you afford to live so far away and with the way Maryland economy is? Maybe the market is better up there than it is down here, cause it's stupid expensive down here.

Hey Frosty, how do you plan on putting the bushwackers on with your passenger rear quarter being cut off? Just wondering cause I would like to put some on mine but having cut that area off causes a problem.

My plan is just to cut em flush with the rear quarter where it's been cut n folded. I need to do it to the drivers side too so they match. I though about using the section I'm going to cut off along with some heat and epoxy to seal up the bottom. I should be able to use the scrap plastic to do it.
