One of my developers lives on a farm in Montana...this is a picture of last Friday's "moving day."

The Schnelly clan were farmers until my dad's generation. There are things I miss about the farm mentality...such as "I think that there piano might just fit in the tractor bucket if we weld some skids on it."

My all-time favorite quote from my grandfather - after nearly crushing me while we were changing a tractor tire - is "Boy...it's probably best we don't mention this to your grandmother."

Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Apparently, when you're a part-Mormon family, every weekend involves moving people if you own a pickup.
This would be Schnelly's typical weekend, with all them there LDS rugrats.

So this showed up:

I like it! Word of caution: If you have a large noggin these caps may not fit. Max seems to be about 71/2 but maybe it stretches out...

Hey Fellas! It appears that my life has got in the way of the Outpost. My apologies. I found myself falling into Vintage racing with a couple Triumph Spitfires and having a blast up until 8 weeks ago this coming Monday. I had surprise 4x bypass surgery on my ticker and I feel great except for the feeling that I'm "tied" together. Walking 3 - 5 miles a day. A few words of wisdom.....LISTEN TO YOUR BODY! That said I still have the Raby 997 4.0L but haven't driven it much. Thoughts have entered my head of selling it but I talk myself off the ledge every time :) Hope y'all are good!

DAYAM! Glad you are doing well. You are way too young for that crap! Hang in there and keep us updated. You are making me want to upgrade my exercise protocol.
