Is that a self portrait?
Louisiana south of New Orleans.
It rained today hard . I let it sit out in the rain to finally get that over with and move on to not worrying about it getting wet 24/7
@Bill Martin and myself live over here in Lake Charles. If you are ever this way get in touch for a meet and greet.
Where do you live@'viking66'? I see that the grass is green where you live.
Welcome to the forums @viking66 and congratulations on you new Sling.
I want to publicly thank @V-SHOT for helping me out. You see I am a procrastinator, my wife got time off so that we could make the Maggie Valley event and told me where V-Shot and his bride were staying at. So I called and spoke to a mean hillbilly lady that I need subtitles to understand and she told me to wait 'till about a week prior to the event and see if they had any room because they were remodeling the motel. I told V-Shot about it and he went off.... Hell no he said, I will talk to them and get this $h!t straight. Anyways a week later and sure enough he had taken care of it. I don't know but he may of threatened an inspection by a government agency. When I spoke to her this evening she was so nice (still needed subtitles). So now I have a room for Maggie Valley and we will be there Tuesday May 30.
Welcome to the forum. You will certainly enjoy this place. Lots of very talented and smart people in here.
@Bill Martin, @Mateo has put his up for sale it is posted in the forum and he has done a few mods on his.

Okay, I have a minute. So yesterday I sheared the bolt. Today, I went to go get the tools I needed to extract the bolt. Snapped my first drill bit, but hey, I'm learning. Second one worked. Started with the extractor tool. Sheared it. Yes, I sheared it. With vice grips if you must know. Used the dremel to cut off the top portion of the remaining bolt which loosened the extractor tool tip enough for me to get it out. Tried again. Same result. Managed to get that tip out. Figured 3rd time was a charm.... Sheared that one too. F$#! this. Called a local car shop, they asked to see it. Brought it in and they said nope. Recommended I go to a mchine shop, which just happened to be across the street. Dragged the kids and the bar to the shop, which was closed, but they took pity on me and opened the door. Showed them my issue (and blamed K2) and they gave me the "holy crap did he screw this up" look, followed by the "how exactly did he manage to shear off an extractor tool?". I didn't have the heart to tell him it was #3. Anyways, a few minutes later, the bar was back in my hands, and they wouldn't take a dime. Tomorrow I'm delivering beer.
In the meantime, I have found a body shop that accepts our insurance that is less than 2 miles from the house, a machine shop with some awesome guys, have started the rebuild of my blue nemesis, and I think I've been voted off the community soccer/yuppy mom list. Pretty good day in my mind.
Now, bring on the jokes!
No jokes from here. I admire the fact that you tried 3 times. Hell I would have said screw this and walked away on the first one. You made some new friends and they think that K2 is a screw up. Very productive day lady.
Please sign me up for a set. Let me know how much.
Very informative especially with the pictures. Thanks @Dave@DDMWorks.
Just yankin your chain brother. Hell I will get @Bill Martin to buy me a Coke and we will drink to you and your upcoming family.
Congratulations and condolences. But you cant sell it until you make the Hill Country ride because I am coming and I think you owe me two drinks (Cokes). That is one of the reasons I was going out there.
Man @BONES I hate to hear this. I know how that hurts brother.
This one is old but it just makes me laugh. ...... I know I am very childish.
Great! You sure got that knocked out.
@Bill Martin and @Slingrazor you guys get in touch and I will try to make a run with y'all.
Looking forward to it. We will be arriving ready to go out and eat some real "Coonass" food.
You slinging down here @Slingrazor? I might have to take the day off.
