then on Sunday I passed my Masters water purveyor's inspectors test....now I'm licensed as a instructor in the continental 48 states...

BTW...this weekends trip the truck averaged 17 mpg and the new exhaust has got to be changed...there's a horrible drone at 72-78 mph
The park looks super fun! The only ride I'd have an issue with is the 60', almost straight down, slide. My palms are sweaty just looking at the pics! The other stuff, bring it on! I love roller coasters, etc.

Congrats on the test, bud! Does that mean more money?

Good mpg on the truck! Have you already modified the exhaust from your original Borla configuration? Like what we discussed?

I wish I would've had a video of my wife's "evil look of death" once the drone started at 72 mph....

What little drone I had in my 2005, I convinced my wife it was a sound of beauty. She complained just once. I turned on my country music to cover the drone. She hates country music.
