The arrow on the ground was put there to mark the lane, not to tell other drivers on the road you are turning left. For all I know you may be lost and needing back out of the lane because you have no signal on.

Sounds like the officer did the right thing to me.

Hey Ryan.

I stopped by Tyler Ford yesterday, and took a look at a few of the King's they had on the lot, and I have to say...that's one nice truck. It looks even better in person.

Did you decide on anything yet, or are you still searching?

Yes and no.

I am still leaning towards the F150 XLT Screw (I might have to wait for a big blow out sell or something).
I drove a Dodge SLT Quad Cab yesterday, but it just didnt "feel" right (sorry closer).
I looked at the Chevy's.....didn't even want to drive it.

The Dodge dealership had a new Tundra on the lot. It had about 700 miles on it. I looked at it, and Matt exaggreated on the interior. It doesn't look bad at all in person.....except the headlights, grill, and mirriors. If those 3 things weren't so "out of place" (so to speak) it wouldn't be that bad looking.

So, I am still waiting on the perfect truck, the one that makes me go, "DAMN, OH SNAP, or HOLY CHIT! - I gotta have that sumbisch."

Only other difference...I use my turn signal.

Buddy of mine would never put his seatbelt on right away, he would always do it after the vehicle was moving. Well one time his fiance pulled an illegal u-turn and was pulled over. She got one for the turn, and he hadnt put his belt on yet and got a nice one for over $200 for it. Now he puts it on right away

I agree Black is gooooood. The only problem with Black around these parts, is finding a fresh can. They're usually a couple of weeks old. I love Mondays, after work, I have a gas station that sets aside about 3 cans of the freshly delivered stuff. I know you know what I mean.

Just hearing about all this Cope wants to make me vomit. I used to be a fan of Red Man myself, until it made me sick one day. Now just the smell of ANY smokeless tobacco makes me sick.

That's good.

I have been dipping since I was about 13. When I joined the Corps, bootcamp helped me quit, but started smoking once I reached my first duty station. I quickly learned that smoking was horrible (snuff is too). I dropped smoking easily.

Now, I have tried several times to quit dipping, but, man...it's hard to do. I can watch what I eat, drink, quit smoking with no problem, but Copenhagen....it's hard for me.

Any suggestions?

Everyone I know who does it has never been ever to get fully off of it. Good luck man, maybe once you get outta your job. A reduction in stress makes quitting anything easier.

Try EATING a whole can (contents only), or try drinking a glass of the "juice" that you spit. I guarantee you'll never dip again.

Yes, that made me sick...the things one will do on a dare when drunk...but it didn't help me kick the habit.
