Just an update
Finally got my Toughstuff Safety thimble in, which means I can install the new winch rope/fairlead I have sitting in the jeep (safer and lighter, always a good thing)
Also have 8 1 watt LED light self contained units, will be using 3 per side as rock lights and 1 in front of each front tire to light the area just ahead of them for offloading
1 more day to go, then bright and early saturday I am taking the jeep to Expert Offroad in Plano, have them-install all the new suspension joints I have, hoping that will cure all the clanks and pops I get when-driving the jeep even on flat-ground let alone offroad.
And the biggest bit, also the scariest, least for me, have an appointment with a Neurosurgeon next tuesday morning to have him look at the MRI of my neck and see what he can do to help fix my neck and upper back problems. Just hoping I can get right without going under the knife to do it. (cross your fingers for me folk)

More Jeep stuff
Jeep really does stand for Just Empty Every Pocket it seems.
Seems Smittybilt is putting out body armor, will have to check quality and pricing on that, might be a way to get armored up quicker, since the price will-likely be lower.

New Jeep Mods
Finally got my dual battery setup finished in the Jeep.
What a PITA that one install was.
the space under thee hood of a 2003 Rubicon (or any wrangler for that matter) is tight. and the stacked trays (from Smittybilt) for the Optima batteries are even tighter, had to unhook the fuse block located just in front of the battery to allow enough roomto get the damn thing in. and god forbid if you want to the bottom battery in a hurry, your SCREWED HI HI. Thou with the controller from 12voltguy.com you can do a self jumpstart (dead handy with that setup)
Will have to see how it works with winching and what not later on.
Hoping to get the rollbar padding off tomorrow so I can finally get my CO2 tank bolted to the cage and have it with me if I have need of the bloody thing.

Vista Home Premium 64-bit
well, finally bit the large phallic symbol, and bought a Copy of
Vista. Just to play 1 silly game with all it's new prettys that the
devs put in (kind of a soory reason to upgrade but there ya are)
Vista. Just to play 1 silly game with all it's new prettys that the

Of course as most have noted, you damn near need a new system to run
Vista, so that is exactly what i did, bought a while new system.
Pretty little thing, Shuttle SP35P2 Pro, Intel Core 2 Quad (QC6600),
4GB rams, XFX GeForce 8800 GT vid card (smokin card BTW)500GB Sata/II
HD and a Sata DWD-RW DL.
with all this, Vista seems to run fine, but the damned 64-Bit beast
has some issues with programs, and seems Explorer likes to crash
often, least it doesn't BSOD or totally freeze most times this happen
(big improvement there I can tell you) still getting the kinks worked
out and getting used to running WinBlows again. Yes I am a Mac guy
and my wonderful Mirror Door running OS X 10.5 is my primary machine.
I run Micro$haft products simply to play my games and for something
else to blow up.

Aiken Today || Police investigate Waffle House brawl
Aiken Today || Police investigate Waffle House brawl
And this won't be looked as a racial or "Hate" Crime in teh least.
After all Blacks can't be racists can they.
""He said he was at the restaurant when one of the victims, who he described only as a white male, picked up a $20 bill off of the floor.
He said a black female inside the restaurant said she had lost her $20 bill, and the white male told her that he had found the money and held it out.
Two men, who were the main suspects of the fight, snatched it out of his hands and gave it to the woman, he said.
The woman then started screaming, "that white boy stole her $20," the witness said.
She made a big scene, he told police.""

Wise Advice
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside
people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity,
guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority,and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness,
benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grand son thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather:
"Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
