TWO WOLVES One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all. "One is Evil - It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority...

That's one great looking rig, love the color - and NO UREA TANK. You are wise to get the dually, upgrading won't be any problem now. Congrats, enjoy the ride.

How you know the Economy is in the Dump I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail. When I ordered a burger at McDonald's , the kid behind the counter asked, "Can you afford fries with that?" CEO's are now playing miniature golf. If the bank returns your check marked "Insufficient...

Thanks for the link to that great site. Found a couple guys that I knew years ago. One of them I did not know was killed in Viet Nam.

Lawyers should never ask a question if they aren’t prepared for the answer. At a trial in a small southern Mississippi town that shall go unnamed, the prosecuting attorney calls his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, “Mrs. Jones, do you...

Ten Commandments Some people have trouble with all those 'shall's' and 'shall not's' in the Ten Commandments. Folks just aren't used to talking in those terms. So, in middle Tennessee they translated the 'King James' into ' Jackson County ' language.....no joke (posted on the wall at Cross...

We always fuel up at truck stops for the fresher fuel and ease of access. When on the road towing the following link is great for locating them and getting current fuel prices. http://www.findfuelstops.com

I don't know about the Banks unit, but the PacBrake PRXB on the 02 Dodge is BY FAR the best money I have spent for any accessory. With the 13K# Bighorn descending 7% grades, I actually lose speed without using the service brakes. There is no way I would tow in the high country without an...

The new forum design is a nice change. My question concerns the new "header" section (all forums, general, etc.) It always defaults to the "general" header which omits some of the sections (Around the Campfire). I like to view all the forums and select the "all forums" to display them. However...

I drive Al Gore's worst nightmare. An 02 Dodge Cummins with 43K miles that has not a hint of any EPA mandated enviormental crap. The 02 was the last year that came from the factory without EGR, catalytic converter, particle filter or (ghast!!) Urea. The transmission is a cast iron cased manual...

Just goes to show how mechanically challenged I am. I thought they didn't use glow plugs any longer. My 02 Cummins uses something called a grid heater instead. Sure can see the volt meter drop when you turn the key watching the "wait to start" light go out. Knock on wood, haven't had problem...

While sitting beside the fire with 6 inches of snow outside (rare for south MS), I was rummaging through some photos I took last summer on one of many motorcycle day rides. One of those rides took me through Clara, MS, a rural community in the southeastern part of the state. I happened to stop...

+1 on the Mag-Hytec cover. I changed to it on the Dodge a year after buying the truck. I changed out the original fluid to Royal Purple 75W-140 when installing the new cover. Just be sure your oil has the friction modifier if you have a limited slip differential. I think all the synthetics have...

I've been to Nawlins a bunch of times (it's only 100+miles from here). I know I've seen that guy in the gown and pearls down there. I bet the tale of the RV at the gas station relates to a lot of folks. Thanks for sharing.

Being from south MS, I have always pulled for the Saints even when they were the Aints, brown bags, etc. I always wondered how nuts New Orleans would go if they ever had a winning team. Now I know - "IT'S PARTY TIME, GEAUX SAINTS !!!" Still want to know which team sign Archie has in his yard...
