    Back home from the road

    YIKES! Well at least you made it back under power instead of on the hook! I'd make sure after you get that one rebuilt you use synthetic oil in it and install a *big* transmission cooler. Those E4OD trannies are not known for living long under heavy load all the time. Also make sure the...

    An observation

    What to do in Elkton, MD?

    What to do in Elkton, MD?

    Elkton is a neat small town. I used to live about 30 minutes from there in Edgewood, MD. I know the restaurant you mentioned. Ate there once. Really decent food as I recall. So, did I pass you on RT 100 this moring? ;) -- Mike N Faster than a speeding poulet. Owner/Operator Big 'B'...

    Size of photos posted to the forums

    I was wondering if EO has a policy on photo sizes in the forums? Several times of late somebody has posted a photo in a huge format making it a for real PITA to read the subesquent posts in the thread due to having to scroll back and forth line by line. Limiting photo sizes to something like...
