Ok, the visual of the last sentence made me chuckle.  Thanks for the laugh.

Subject: RE: [Az-Geocaching] Do you know him?

 

Although I'm not sure what else I can put on the front end of the Dodge..right now I've got some cowpushers...would like to get a winch but JEEZ at this rate I won't be able to park in the parking garage at work (unfortunatly they're not 4-wheel friendly with mostly compact spots and only a 6'9" ceiling). Heck with the new tires I got that lifted me 3" alone...I've only got a 6" difference to play with now.

You should see the looks I get when we go out mudding near the Powerline Trail and come into the office just slathered in mud. Those beamers and cedes don't park within 3-4 parking spots from me. Although I think it's hysterical that I can mark my own spot with my "mud droppings" that's pretty much my spot until they get the street sweeper into the parking garage.
