Now the fun begins.....that is a pretty chuck. Did you go with the elegant look or the sparkely look?
My next one might have to be a little girly, though I really would like a Rubicon chuck too. I must behave for at least several months, so I have plenty of time to ponder....

Question: how did you get it ordered? I can't seem to pay for mine via the links provided, or did you get this ordered before yesterday?
Just did it tonight. I got the error msg and clicked continue. After I signed in to amazon, it asked for an email address to send the money. I took a chance and listed Jeff's email from the website and hope he gets it ok. You do have to have an account on amazon and have to go through a verification of your email process.
I went with elegant, it was a hard decision but I put both up as my wallpaper and the plain black looked better.
Ahh, that's the point I wouldn't go.. I figured it would be the same email but I wasn't taking a chance. I do have an amazon account no problem, but the errors were keeping me from sending money.
Yes, yes it is. Sorry for whining across multiple threads.
You can atone for that by ordering another 1 or 2!

Already planning a second, but giving time for my income affairs to be in the correct alignment again. 800 bucks for a new ac unit, and another 400 outgoing for new front tires kinda throw my available funds off kilter.

A better idea would be to order 10 Chucks, learn to love to sweat, and stay home enjoying your Chuck horde!
Wow, I am glad I don't have to deal with ac. During demo in the loft, the freon line got cut, it was no biggy and we haven't even fixed it. Haven't had air in at least a decade, don't even use fans. I freeze my .... off at work all summer.
I live in Arizona, AC is a necessity, as it was when I lived in Texas. Car AC is another story, I've not had a working AC unit in a car until I bought my current truck oh some 7 years ago... now it's hard not to have it. I've become such a wuss! No more days of 2 windows/50mph AC.
Unfortunately the damn thing blew a bearing while I was just outside of Flagstaff, spewing metal shavings all over the place and being generally far too noisy to let run. Coupled with not having a place I could A: work on it, and B: not being able to use my normal parts supplier, I had to get it into a shop or it would have cost one third of what I got hit for. Such is life though, damn serpentine belts. Pair of scissors would have done the job just fine if not for that.
Mike: That dog tongue is almost hypnotic, even sadder is I think my sister's welsh corgi's tongue is still bigger, that's all his entire head is made of, tongue, it just keeps hanging further out and never stops.

I always crack up when my dog yawns. He "drops" his tongue all the way out then opens his mouth wide and curls it back in. One of these days I've got to video tape that and his singing. He sings along whenever my daughters play violin (not piano, not my wife's french horn, hell, not even the harp - just violin!).
Yes, I've heard if you live in AZ one must have AC and that swimming pools are very common too. We don't get too many days in the upper 90's and it rarely hits 100. If it does, I embrace every minute of it since I spend 8-9 months feeling chilly if not downright cold. Had to break down and fix the furnace here, two months last winter with little or no heat damn near killed me!
I am kind of envious of you, been walking around all day in a couple flannels and hunting sox. Will summer ever come?
MM, you definately need to make a video! Wow, you have a very musical family. Who plays the harp?

Arizona weather envy usually fades if one spends a summer here. Tucson isn't as bad as Phoenix, but I've lived there previously for 7 years, and was out working in the midst of the record 122 degree hottest day evar.
Now, on the one side.. it is a dry heat, and the last person that said that to me that day was hit... very hard. Sure it's dry, but it's also just like being roasted in a feckin' oven like a bbq pork ..... However, Tucson doesn't reach those lofty heights, so it's not so bad down here.
The best year round area I lived in was San Marcos, CA. It was beautiful all year round there.
MM: Yeah, my sister's corgi, Dex does that too.. it never ceases to amaze me how much tongue flops out of his head.. it's like it's attached to his throat and he's throwing it up.

I was looking at the job postings at work and Yuma was listed. Then I thought, ugh, can't be anything like the western movies, it's got to be all dry and brown...no woods, no green.....I gotta have my woods, love to play in them and it makes it hard to for others to spot one misbehavin!
AZ is on my 'once we're empty nesters' list to visit.
In IL people ..... when it is cold and ..... when it is hot. I figure if you want to complain about sub zero windchills and how bad it sucks outside then you have no right to complain about a hot day or vice versa.

Yuma is a bit barren, but it's right on the CA border so it makes it easy to take a weekend in San Diego, plus you're right next to the dunes if you enjoy sandrails and the like. Otherwise it's sort of in the middle of feckin' nowhere, and has never struck me as a fun place to live since it's one of the hotter spots in AZ to exist. No forests that I recall but I've not lived there, just driven through many times on my way to/from SD.
As far as cold/hot I came from Colorado Springs to Phoenix, it was a shock to say the least, from the foothills of the Rockies (was about 5mi from the AFA) to basically the desert was entertaining. Everyone looked at me as if I were a mutant in winter, short sleeved shirts and shorts on during school.. the rest of the acclimated folks were suffering in their jackets and long pants. Made me laugh. Summers, however, were murder until I got used to it, then it wasn't bad till the hot hot days of full bore summer.
Once they got to be about 80, my parents couldn't take the cold winters any more and started going to Scottsdale every winter. Two weeks the first year, then one month, then 3 months. And, of course, my sister and i were expected to visit so we alternated years.
The last year, the week before I went out, Dad called and said they had been worried because it was so cold but it was finally over 100 in time for my visit. 8-o I hate hot weather. But it is true that the dry heat helps. 100 in NYC is intolerable, 100 in Scottsdale is just unpleasant. It think, however, once you hit around 110, hot is hot.
If you're in Tucson, say hi to my cousin for me.

Will do!
And I do agree for the most part 100 and 10% humidity beats 85 and 50% humidity any day of the week, after living in Texas for 4 years, and not even being in the maelstrom of humid states by a longshot, I'm fine with the AZ weather, considering my unending disdain for living in CA. Otherwise I'd probably be there instead, around San Marcos.. 95 tops in the summer and 60ish in the winter, best all around weather I've ever found.
