Hey guys, I've been freakin' dying here. First chance I've really had to breath in a while! This, without a doubt, has been the longest hiatus I've taken from my beloved Jeepz. It's been strange not poking my head in.

For those of you who care, all is going well, clinicals, grades, etc. I love it!! Helping people really suits me and my personality.

I just wish I had a social life, but I guess that's the breaks.

So, what's the update around here? I've noticed some new members, hook me up with the dirt!!
 

Well, it's about time you showed up again! Where have you been young man?!? Your mother and I have been worried sick! You could have at least called! What, are your fingers broken? Can't dial a phone? Can't write a quick letter to let us know you haven't been eaten by bears?

Man, you should check in more often. You've missed a ton of Surrey jokes lately. Here's a few headlines:

90xjay has become disillusioned with the current presidency and took over as campaign advisor to Hillary Clinton.

Bounty Hunter used his badge and gun to rob a convenience store and is on the lam in the Pacific Northwest. He was last spotted in a makeshift shanty on the rim of Mt. St. Helens eating a California Condor.

TwistedCopper didn't think his wife was popping kids out fast enough, so he got a sex change and is now carrying a surrogate baby.

Sully masterminded a political coup and overthrew the California government. He is currently working on a plan to turn the entire state into an ORV Park.

Jumppr hi-jacked the space shuttle and is somewhere in orbit around the asteroid belt.

88Wrangles was so distraught over Steve Irwin's death that he moved to Australia and is courting the famed Crocodile Hunter's wife, while plotting to destroy all stingrays.

Saurian has gone mad....mad, I tell you!!

That's pretty much it for now. Nothing much has happened, as you can tell, so just go back to your little coloring books with the anatomically incorrect drawings of Raggedy Ann and Andy.
 
All is well.... as you see sparky is... well... his normal self, 'cept for 90Xjay, he really is working as Hillary Clinton's campaign advisor :D
 

Oh and don't forget ... Sparky bought a NEW Rubicon and put a 5" lift on it. It was looking pretty good..............................................................................................

, but he lost it when i rolled off the table and under the fridge.
 
It's been kinda slow around here but it's good to see ya back. Tug has been poking his head in every now and then. He's not on the road any more and is in the market for a new jeep.

Now that's the one thing I don't believe.
 

Glad to see ya' back, Ian!!! In case you didn't know, mudwoman and I now live in Bayou Country - Jackson, LA to be specific. We moved here so I could help build a cable-stay bridge over the Mississippi and perhaps do some relief work and just lift some spirits here the best we can. Are you still in CO? We're tryin' like heck to get back out there, so we'll keep ya posted..........we ain't missin' another chance at a "meet-up". Sounds like you may have found your calling - best of luck with all that - mudwoman says she's proud of you!! Keep it up!!!

Greetings, Mingez :)

Updates 'round here? Hmm... I can tell you about totally MAD me :twisted:...

My seasonal time with the City ended, and I went back full time at Texas Roadhouse (was working both jobs)... 80 to 40 hours is REALLY odd to get used to, all the free time, wow... Then, a couple weeks ago, my manager asks me if I'm interested in full-time meatcutting... I tell him yes, but I also really enjoy morning prep (my currently promised full-time position). Well, he tells me he hired someone for that, monday-friday. Ok, guess I'm interested in meatcutting again. But wait. I'd be the secondary meatcutter, see, the regional manager's son needs a job, and blah blah blah... Same sentence, are you interested in, and I have hired someone for 2 positions... What the heck?!?

Fortunately, after my vacation to Virginia, the city contractor for tree removal (emerald ash borer and all) calls me up, got my number from the parks director (my boss with the City), and could use me on a part-time basis... That lasted until my very first morning when he told me that he let someone go, do I want to be full-time... So, here I am, aching from head to toe, but making a decent wage with a heck of a lot less stress...

Jeep rolled over 110,000 miles. There is a rattle. That's all :)
 
SSDD here, just a body doin' time. Though I did set up a pit for playing washers in the back yard last weekend. Probably will spend most of this weekend grillin, drinkin beer, and playing washers while enjoying the fabulous weather. Which I guess is kinda what I did last weekend...

Tell Mrs. Mud I said "thank you!!!"

She knows what I'm going through I'm sure. I can honestly say that my undergrad was a joke (In terms of information absorbed per semester) compared to this program. I've learned so much!!!

You know, I've had many of my buds tell me about playing washers... I have to honestly say I have know idea what that is... Is it like horseshoes with washers?
 
Well since no one made up a lie or two about me I thought I would throw a few out.

Life in Utah was going good till G.W. Bush decided to crop dust Salt Lake City with Airforce 1...needless to say we have been in a political pickle ever since.

So with the dems and reps yelling I decided to do the Moab thing. Spent 4 lovely dayz down in Moab tearing up trails and my jeep. 2 shocks and 1 stabilizer on po-tater salad hill. 1 tie rod end and a axle u-joint metal masher.

Needless to say Mrs Utah isnt one happy camper so I had to quickly go out and buy her something to plactitate those hurt feelings...well roses didnt work...a diamond didnt either...so I we out and bought her, her new Dodge 3500 truck.
Now I thought all of my hopes to buy replacment parts went out the window when the buyer remorse struck...including the dreaded "how much a month do I owe"!?!

But it had a silver lining...I got to drive the dodge the first time this week when I had to take it down to get the under-coating sprayed on...so Mrs.Utah had to drive the jeep with two blown shocks and stabilizer...

Well she came home and told me to go out and buy the two new shocks this pay check and the other two next...

This old jeeper is no fool I am still trying to figure out how to get her to drive it next time. A zip tie around the drive shaft...oh hunnny dont worry its just the transfer case...it should hold up till I save enough for that Atlas II.......
 
I totally understand Utah!!

I think I am going to have to tell my wife I am heading to California to donate a kidney or something when I head to Moab next week. I've been gone for a month traveling,... get a week home and WEEEHAWWWW heading to Moab Baby!!! So ya'll feel free to send "Get Well Soon" emails to me to make it more believable.
