Good Monday morning folks.

I can't imagine a Pacu can survive the winter in that part of the world. I would think swimming in Norway or any lake in that part of the works would cause severe SHRINKAGE and tightening up of certain body parts.

I stuck my hand in lake Michigan and it was very cold. I can't imagine the waters Markus's part of the world is much warmer.

going to sit back and read some more of the great book I am reading atm, its called Unbroken, story of Louis Zamperini a pre WWII Olympic mile runner who became a bombardier in the Pacific after Pearl Harbour. Was shot down survived on a raft and is now in a POW camp with the Japanese torturing him, true story, very gripping.

Manflu sinus pain and no sleep. Not going to play today.

I like those types of books Azzy, they're usually very captivating.

And yes, it will run about 60 flat out.

You know the arbuckle mountains are some of the oldest mountains on earth.


Our property has between 50 and 100 ft of elevation change from top to bottom. Several terraces to jump and a dry pond to climb all over.

Jim, just Google Cavanal Hill. It is the worlds tallest hill. Right here in Oklahoma! It is a bit of a drive from Sid's parents place but it is real. So we have a taller hill than your state! (either one of them)

I have driven my 911 to the top.

For those that are too lazy to Google it, Cavanal Hill is 1,999 feet. At 2,000 feet it would be a mountain.
