Someone today was telling me about the Shanghai tunnels. Interesting.
Yeah, crazy shit. Oregon was actually founded as a "whites only" state so there's some bizarre history.

If you do come up, I suggest waiting until at least May. June would be ideal.

Supposed to get to 72 degrees here today. We've got 8 guys playing. Lots of "opportunity" to fill the pockets with quarters. Woke up at 4 a.m. with nose running and head full of snot. Took antihistamine. So far, hasn't taken effect. If I'm left sitting at home while the guys are all playing on a PERFECT day..... This stinks!!!!!

If I didn't play when I had a head full of snot, I'd never play. Man up Limp. Go take their money!

Took a 24-hour allergy pill. Lasted about 24 minutes!!! Nose running. Sneezing. When my handkerchief was full, I started using my golf towel. 38 on the front. Dead tired by the back from blowing my nose. Eyes glazed over with allergy film. 45 on the back.

We had 8 this morning. Broke into 2 fours. Played 4 vs. 4, straight skins. When the scorecards from each group were run through.... TIE!!! No blood! Guys were going to go get lunch. I came home and am about ready to drink a cup of hot tea and hit the sack. No play tomorrow. Dentist appointment. Give me a chance to get the body back together. Tee times for the following 7 days.

I was in the Nissan dealer getting a recall fixed (new software for the VST) and was looking at this. New 2017 Z270, 330 hp, 6-speed. Sticker said $31,000. Dealer said you could get it for $28,000. Man, if I were young again....

Never had a hankerin' for the sports care two-seaters. Could never understand why someone would buy one when for the same bucks they could drive a truck. But... that's us "farmers" in the Midwest!!!
Worked with a fella once who had a couple of the 240Z models. He loved them.

Speaking of Nissan, have read some reviews on their 1/2 ton pickups equipped with the Cummins diesels. The combo is new this year. Owners are having trouble getting 6 and 8 mpg with them. That's bad. And, the grill looks like a remodeled Edsel.

We have a large Nissan dealer here in town. Lots of loyal customers. Those who drive them seem to really love them.

You might be able to get a mid-size truck for 28k...Most full size trucks start at least 33k that I know of...and that's a 2wd version..which, in my experience, are about as good as that Nissan in the snow.

Just built one of those Titan's with the cummins on the website...only about $1500 shy of $60k for a half ton truck(not the high end package either)? That seems a bit steep. I could have probably gotten it over 70k had I added all the available options.
