Hey Al,
Do you ever talk to yourself?

When I talk to my youngest son, it often feels like I am talking to myself. LOL!

Immaturity usually means a lack of listening ability Bwana. .

BTW. .aren't you a Grandpa? I thought you were.

Not a Grandpa yet. Seems my kids are waiting much longer to get married and reproduce than I did, which is probably a wise choice. I think my oldest will get married next year, he is an attorney so the negotiations are going slowly. LOL. He has always said that he won't get married until he is ready to have children, so hopefully thing will move quickly once he is married. I gave his girlfriend a certificate worth $25,000, all she has to do to make it good is change the color on one of those little test strips. Pissed my son off when I gave it to her, but hey, I'm not above a little bribery to get what I want. I'm going to be the worst grandparent ever. Can you imagine me and all his step mothers at the hospital for the birth. It should be priceless.

No, but then I don't like the sound of my own voice.

Price of crude has dropped almost $10/barrel in just one week! - attribute it to these FG discussions...

That's interesting. Our government taking political advice from a website dedicated to RC. Who'da thunk.

Just makes you wonder. . what ELSE are they listening to in our personal lives?

Crude dropped $3 yesterday. Anyone want to speculate what will happen to crude prices when the current stupidity from Congress (attempting to control speculation and posibly opening areas for drilling) gets passed? IMO we will see a BIG drop in oil prices when that happens. But, I daresay, the only reason they are finally doing anything is because WE held their feet to the fire, and it's an election year. The government never does the "Right Thing". . .they always do what is convenient, and carries gains, for them.

Okay boys and girls, here it is. The ultimate in outdoor robotics. BigDog!!

Big Dog is amazing.

There has got to be a couple of skinny midgets in that thing.

at what cost and how many m.p.g.?

I wouldn't even want to consider the cost but it sounds like it's running it's hydraulic system on a 2 stroke glow engine! LOL

It needs a tuned pipe or something. It's not very stealthy.
