    Without hair, I expect he might not seem quite as large but he will more than make up for it in the "mean look"! I am still debating the next time I am in his town about whether I show up for the supper I will inevitably invite him and Mrs Slippy to because I am afraid I will soil myself and be embarrassed in front of Mrs Slippy.

    Yes Ma'am BagLady, old Slip is a full 6'4" and weighs in at a svelt and athletic 242 lbs. What my good friend Inor left out was how damn SEXY I am...but that would have been gay and Inor is most certainly NOT gay.

    He can however suck down lots of beer! He's one of those guys who can drink beer all day and not seem to get drunk...

    Regardless, I'm pretty sure Inor and I would have held our own at the bar that we were patronizing. (For two old guys!)

    We did have my Son#2 with us and CAM19 goes 6"2" and 185. The funny thing with him is that while he's been in multiple fights in his life, ALL of them have been while he was wearing skates and holding on to the other guy with one hand and punching with the other. I don't think my Son#2 knows how to fight without being in a hockey game! HA!

    Purdy truck. I may be in the market for one soon.

    Next time you see him, just be thinking "Wax on, Wax off"...then you'll be laughing and he'll wonder why..

    I dug up this old post tonight to let everyone know that I am finally upgrading the afore mentioned Chevy Colorado. It has an appointment at the shop on July 5th, and should take about 2 days to complete. 6" lift with coil-over, remote-reservoir shocks, fender flairs, new wheels, and 33" tires. I'm excited. Anyway, I'll post pics when it is done.

    That's much better than the 10mpg my Lariat XLT gets.
