Hmm, lets see. $35 buys not even 7 gallons of diesel fuel right now. $35 won't take my wife and I out to dinner on Saturday night, just for the resturant tab. I don't buy beer, but how much beer does $35 buy? I know guys that spend probably $35 on beer and cigarettes for a day or two.
When I go truck pulling $35 usually won't get my 2 hooks. My BIL will blow a couple hundred at the bar on Saturday night.
I still really believe that the $35 for the TDR subscription is the best $35 a guy can spend on his CTD. This place is great, most of the riffraff has not found this place yet. I was on the DTR for a while, don't even go and read there anymore. I don't post much on the TDR, but look there everyday. I don't understand why people on the DTR dog the TDR so much, but oh well, that's there decision. I just can't understand or tolerate people that run at the mouth(or keyboard) and run people or a group of people down. I feel the TDR is pretty well free of those types. I know there's still some there, but there's alot less then other places I've been. There seems to be a high level of comrodery there, and overall helping and can do attitude over there, that I've not seen many other places on the internet. But alas, I could always read through Bill Gilberts remarks, and know he was just poking fun. I could always read through Pastor Bob's posts and get some incite, and help. The old Petey came along, and I could see his humor too.
I also want to say, I'm not one of the guys that says "If it doesn't happen on the TDR it isn't real". I'm not that niave or shallow. ITs too bad we couldn't get guys like KTA on there several years ago. We'd all be light years ahead on the power curve if a few guys could have played together. But alas, that's the way the world works. Do what you will, but I just paid for another year at the TDR, and when its up, I'll do it again. When you see those guys for the first time, and put names with faces, its like a group of long lost brothers united. I've got to get to SOP this fall!
