THE CANTEEN SPORTS CORNER SPECIAL


Do you love cars, motorcycles, and music? Today is your thread. We wanted to share with our troops a little reminder of home. As they are defending our freedom, we wanted to bring them some really cool choices for transportation. We've also asked some familiar names to share their favorite cars, motorcycles, and music. We'll share that with you a little further down. As usual, we provide links on the left and right hand side. The regular sports links are on the right. Click on the images and hyperlinks. A special thank you to MoJo's 8 year old son, Bobby. If you like the cars and motorcycles on this thread, you can thank him. He thought his mommy didn't have a clue and decided to help her out. Thank you, Bobby! (Be sure to check out his favorite car the Dodge Viper. It is the third picture at the top!!)

Hi, Mojo! We're actually getting some sleep now...Mini Cut is up to sleeping about five full hours a night...from about 0200 to 0700, so that's when we sleep, too.

Mrs. Cut is doing absolutely great! She's THRILLED that the stretch-mark monster seems to have missed her, AND she's already back to her pre-pregnancy weight and size.

LOL I'm great today!

We got to think of a way to get Tom back...hehehehehe

Tell Bobby he can have the first ride with me, sitting shotgun of course. Also tell him I have ice cream and swiss cake rolls to bring along with us. ;-)

You just did! Hehehe!! He's reading along! Although, he's getting ready to play with some friends. They have "guy" things to do. WHATEVER!

He has directed me to find you a dream car. (WEll, his dream cars are very expensive. Goodness!)

Good morning, Jinxie! I know you are in here somewhere! My head is spinning. I'm trying to keep up and Bobby wants to look at the cars. I told him that's what "ARCHIVES" are for. You can drool at the cars later. LOL!

Thank you so much for the kind welcome. And, it is I who thank your family for your service.

I'm glad Bobby liked the goat...it was a very special car to me. We traded it for a station wagon. For some reason, it seemed important at the time. I think it had something to do with a growing family.;o)

"They will grow out of this, right?LOL!)"

No...;o)

Wow!! That's what Bobby keeps saying. He thinks that would be the most excellent truck to take through the mud. He'd like a ride if you decide to do some mudding around anytime. LOL!

Bobby wants to know what kind of airplane you have for your "main ride"?

It is a Beech King-Air B-200. It is an eight passenger plane. It's power is a pair of Pratt and Whitney 850HP turboprop engines. Cruise speed is about 280 Kts.

Woohoo!!! Bobby is happy to have the first ride!! Although, he now wants some ice cream for lunch. LOL! I don't think so. However, if he's out with Auntie Bethy..I can't stop him. Also, could you tell our brother that it's CONNOR and not CONNER!! LOL!
