When we arent on parade or practicing we are allowed to wonder the city. I'm pretty sure we are staying on the Royal College or w/e its called. I was there in 2009 for the Calgary Stampede/Spruce Meadows and didnt have a sweet clue what to do..lol.
Isn't the stampede going on that week?

spending time on things is what makes them turn out better. but you don't always have to spend alot of money to make something look good.

for instance. the first time i polished my valve cover it took me a full 8 hours to do it and i could have spent another 4 hours making it perfect.

well it does unless you have everything already. and you can get them pretty close to chrome if you use a buffing compound afterwards.

yup, one of our tank squadrons is doing the parade in the city. Personally i dont care for the stampede for entertainment. Pretty much what me and the guys want to do is work out and get drunk...im not one for drinking but the guys keep trying to get me drunk..lol.

hopefully he will take care of it, the guy that bought my balt didnt. He owned it for 3 months, got 2 tickets and then smashed into a pickup truck and wrote it off. What are you thinking about getting?

I'm sure Adrian will take good care of it, I'm not entirely sure what I want. I'd like to get an LNF. S2K's have caught my eye lately. I'm not sure I want FWD again.
