My idea of stress relief WHILE on the road.... Lets see
Listen to music. Mostly heavy metal...
Surfing the web researching (mostly automotive related0
Play various computer games
While at home?
Listen to Music. Mostly heavy metal...
Surfing the web researching (mostly auotmotive related)
Cruise around town (but thats became stressfull. 9MPG + $3 a gal = more stress)
Spend time with friends and family as much as possible.
Oh and a few coolies are also enjoyed at home as well!!!

Randy,
What are you in at 9mpg? A Dakota R/T? I'm paying around $2.70 at home and 24-25mpg in my Ralliart and it still bugs me. I can't imagine if I still had my R/T. It sure was fun though.

I wish i had a Dakota R/T that would be even more of a stress relief. No i just have the 5.2 in it and a few mods done. Plus a heavy foot doesnt help. Gas has been dropping though but of course when i was home on vacation it was at the peak.
Pretty much i havent been home to do some repairs/maintnece on it so its just sucking down the gas.

My prescription is to play with my new puppy Boaz (although on occasion he can be a stress inducer), and rub noses with my honey.

Ah yes. Boston Lobster feast. I took my baby there for her birthday about three weeks ago. Great place. I usually down at least 3 lobster and a bunch of snow crab. I usually go to the one next to the Mall.

During times of stress, I will generally turn on the CB and pretend that everything I hear is a line from Brokeback Mountain.
I'm loaded heavy today.
I'm pullin' a dry box.
Back that thing on in here.
That's it, slide it right over.
JB Hunt, what are you doin'?
Hey, big truck, you want outta there?
It sure can be hairy to bobtail in the rain.
I'll catch you on the flip-flop.
There's a Smokey, in the middle, in the dark.
You got a meat wagon on your back door.
The cowboys sure are out tonight.
That guy just blew my doors off.
Where's that plain wrapper?
Keep the sunny side up and the rubber side down.
That driver is a ratchet jaw.
Look out for that crotchrocket commin' up your back door.
I'm gonna put this baby in Georgia overdrive on the downstroke.
I'm lookin' for a ramp to go horizontal.
Hammer down, Cowboy. Hammer down!
Get up and stand on it!!
'preciate it, Hand.
Anytime.
Damnit, boy!
