First off, if we are voting for the best energy drink I'm going to have to chime in here and say Sobe Adrenaline Rush was the best. IDK why it was discontinued, but that stuff tasted great (think soda version of lemon-lime gatorade) and it worked. That monster stuff just tastes good and makes you have to pee :P

I decided to seriously take Teacher Todd's advise last night. I went grocery shopping with my g/f and we were walking down this one aisle and an older woman was having a hard time reaching something on the top shelf, so I decided to ask her if she needed help and got her 6 bottles of hot sauce... (I know right?) Anyway, she thanked me and that was that. It felt good, but then later on when we were in the checkout line, she came up to us and gave us a $6 off $60 or more order coupon. She said she had no use for it since her bill was going to be cheaper than $60 and since we helped her before she said we should have it.

It was very nice.

Hope everyone has a great day!
Great story and thanks for sharing. It is amazing what happens when you do good for others.

hey, everyone, i figured i might as well post a couple of pics of my new kwanza hut for the monte, along with my dads "new" motercycles he brought home last night....

first the hut with its resident:



the 85 nighthawk is below, it has a lil over 6,xxx original miles on it:



and this next one is the 74 honda 750 - four ( says so on the oil tank).... higher miles, but it has every scrap of paper that even remotely related to it scince it was bought new: service records, owners manuel, repair manuel, dealership recipt, dealer order forms, a list of local honda parts supplyers & dealerships with phone #s from 1974....

oh, and it has that wicked easy- riders style sissy bar

Hi Ryan, that's a clean look'in Monte Carlo.
`Chris should check that one `out...
`Ryan you are really lucky to have so many auto toys to
play with, and I like your new Monte Carlo BedRoom
It's also great that your father is a mechanic & that you
both get to spend time 2gether.
I really/really like the nighthawk, and I like Honda Bikes.
Will U be rid'in it ? Do U need a motorcyle license in PA 2 ride ?
Do you require helmet's ? We don't in Florida, but I think
they should, even though I don't like wearing a helmet when
riding my friends motorcyles.
Keep sharing your awesome finds...We really enjoy reading/seeing
them 4-Sure...Oh, many senior cit'z have viewed your
Photo Thread & love all the pictures. One of the senior I seen
2day said that he was gona joined the MCF so he could vote 4 U : )
EnJoy your day & I hope your class pic comes out the way U want
it 2...Peace/Out & Happy 2 `all : )

justin, my uncle gave me the one i have 'caus hees moving, i think he paied something like $160 for the whole kit from a mail order catalouge, with free shiping idk what company, tho.... i have a california car cover catalouge in front of me, they sell one that is almost the same, but for the frame, roof, & sides its over $250, so i would shop around... only thing about mine is it cannot handle a huge snow load, so imma have to add in a couple of extra roof supports.... it rained last night and with the tarp on the floor its bone dry in there and i set it up in mabe 2 hours with no instructions & no help, just a pile of supports & tarps

space, my dad is hoping to get the nighthawk running again & cleaned up for resale, and he is probibly gonna do the same with the 750.... he also has a black 75 honda streetbike, its 350 cc's i think, it has 2,xxx original miles, hes the second owner... and he has a 78 sazuki RM 370 dirtbike, that thing is just nasty and i have my lil 91 kawasaki ke 100 enduro, it has 2xxx miles & im the second owner.... i shut it off one day & it would not start again.... replaced EVERYTHING in the ignition system to find out it had a bad wire in between the battery & the key, i stuck it in the gradge out of disckust.... in pa you need a motercycle liscance to ride legally, you have to take a safty course.... but you dont need a helmit to ride, which seems like a contradiction of the safty course, lol.

oh, and thanks for the compliment on the photo thred, i really am happy with the pics being posted myself, but now i need to go for a drive & get some more local pics myself 'caus im almost out, lol.

Good morning everyone...had a few other MCF stops before I made it here...LOL But so far a good day here. Super slow at work, so as the manager, that kinda stresses me out, but what are you going to do? So I just try and stay positive and keep moving forward. Slept in a bit today, and it felt sooooo good!

Interesting fact from the radio this morning: according to survey most people have sex on Thursdays not weekends..hmmmm....LOL, I thought that was kinda intresting, the things they talk about on the radio...haha

Ryan, that tent for your Monte looks great!

Have a good ay everyone...
