Awesome Dial-up

Now that I'm back home it looks like I get to use the good ole 24kbs dial-up that I have yet to talk mom into upgrading. That plus the fact that I'm working 12 hour shifts driving a 250+ ton haul truck that's worth over $2 million means that I probably won't get to spend the time I did during the school year on here.

One of the worst parts is the fact that it takes me long enough to load everyone's signatures let alone any decent quality photos.

On the plus side I ended up with 32 hours of overtime last week and will have another 32 this week and I've determined that my first paycheck is going mostly to my car, mainly to maintenance stuff, everything that needed to be done at 50k miles still needs to be done a few thousand miles later. But new wheels/tires along with maybe new tails are in the works and might just be the only things that I end up spending money on car wise this summer as I plan on dumping a bit into my quad as it gets better gas millage.

RE: Awesome Dial-up

Hi `Garrett,

I can really relate to dial `up....It can be very/very frustrating 4-Sure,

but it will teach you patience, or test `it : )

I've just learned to multi-task while my super/slow dial `up loads some of

the posts, and 4-get about try'in to view U-Tube vid's `if they are over one minute : )

I still bet it's great to be back home in Wy : )

Would luv 2 see pic's of the Truck that you are driving...WoW $2 Mill : )

I've driv'in a few boat @ that price range, but the Ocean is pretty big : ), and

not like the highways : ) Hope U don't get Road Rage against a Civic/Focus/etc : ) lol

I've still work'in over 72+ hrs a week (7days a week), but I hope when

I do finish school that I will be able to cut back : ) & EnJoy.

Keep us updated on your Monte & what U R doing this summer.

Oh, post some pic's of the quad....That has to be tons of fun riding around

in the Big Country in a Quad....

Wish U a `Happy Summer `Garrett,

Peace/Out/`Space

Hey Garrett!

Wishing you safe driving out there!

Is it possible to set the options in your web browser so that it doesn't automatically download pictures or images? When the red X's come up, you can right click on the one's you want to see. Then click Show Image.

RE: Awesome Dial-up

These trucks are huge, they have both Liebherr and Komatsu trucks in the 240 ton versions...

The tires are 12' tall in case those pictures don't put them in perspective for you...

Here's some snaps of my 400ex for ya Space...

I plan on getting silver plastics along with some black carbon fiber pieces and seat cover. Eventually I might get around to designing some graphics for the new plastics along with painting some of the frame either a metallic red or blue along with some of that white neon wire stuff, and then if I have the money and time I'll throw on a new carb along with some 450r front suspension. Oh, it's going to need some new tires and a few other things to make it street legal.

And just for the hell of it, this is what happens when you wash your car in Wyoming when it's still May...
