It's the end of the first quarter and it's 31 to Zed

Think I'll grab a blanket and cover up my head

If it doesn't get any better I'll just wander off to bed

My Kentucky ass is Gator bit

Bloody, mangled, and red!

Today

Number 1 ranked Florida Gators are coming to town tonight to face the unranked, but unbeaten Kentucky Wildcats!

I'ma skeered!

Mommmmmmiiiieeeeeeee!

To take my mind of the game for a while figured I'd make some chili dogs.

Chili dogs

Belly bombers

Intestinal blasters

Heart attack on a plate

Cavalier all beef weiners, my three bean habanero chili, shredded cheddar, Pace's Tequila Lime Salsa, and of course, French's all-American yellow hotdog mustard!

A big ol' pile of homemade vinegar fries and a ice cold beer! Or 3 or 4!

Life just doesn't get any better than this on a rainy Saturday evening in Kentucky!

The knife and fork are required apparel, the bib is just a suggestion!

Back on Sept. 1st, I posted this and bragged on my ten year old truck a little bit. God bitch slapped me for that foolishness rather quickly!

The next weekend, while heading for the mall, doing 75 mph on a crowded interstate, the oil light came on. I slowed down as well as I could, and pulled into the next rest area.

Too late! It was knocking. One trashed engine! Called a friend of mine that owns a wrecker and had him take it to his garage.

The truck is in too good of shape to just junk it, so I decided to have a Jasper remanufactured engines installed in it. They come with a 3 year, 100,000 mile warranty on parts and labor.

Down side is........

$5,002.42

Wow, and ouch.

Oh well, beats $25,000 for a new truck!

Old engine on the way out.

The new Jasper just hanging around and waiting.

One week later, the new one is in.

In the process of hooking everthing back up.

Cluncker engine being shipped back as a core.

Two weeks later, she's all back together, and resting peacefully at home, with me!

Runs better than it did when new. I'm impressed!

Thanks Mike and your crew. You did a great job on my baby!!!

Oh, forgot to mention, near as they could determine, the oil pump went out of her. Not the best thing that can happen at 75 mph.
