Ldub, thanks for the lift

I can say first hand you cannot generalize anyone into any category. Everyone is so different no matter their current location or their origin. Can we try (hard) and keep this to the topic at hand?

I hear ya Bossman, I've lived in Illinois all my life and love it. It's where you live, family and who your friends are. Some people slam Chicago which doesn't bother me much because as some have mentioned it's kind of it's own little world and I myself hardly ever go there but when I did (chaperon class trips) I had a very good time and it offers allot of history. I'm in central Illinois and which farming is big which help keep this nation going. If people who used to live ahhh, let's say Chicago have left the windy city and obviously hated living there, you have made a choice and moved on to a better place "for you" so let Chicago go. Illinois is a great state with good people, but there are "unfriendly" areas, but all states have them. Family and friends is what it's all about ! !

Anyway back on the thread topic, Ldub that was a great thing you did installing MSHardeman's lift. You would fit in "right-kindly" around my neck-of-the-woods

Well...on the surface it would seem so, but as I've stated in other threads,(or somewhere) when Mark first bought the springs, he wasn't sure he wanted them installed.
So I knocked twenty bucks off the price.
Then he decided to have them put on, so I said OK...let's have that twenty...
Either way, no problem...just don't want anyone thinkin I'm St.dub...
That would definitely be a misassumptulation...
Also, as stated earlier, I was FAR from alone in the effort. I had help from Jim, Jay, Jo, Mark, Carrie, Clint & Jesus...OK, I prolly left out a few, but I tried to get the situation as straight as memory will allow.
I guess in hindsight, I shoulda bought the rest of the "pit crew" some beverages with that twenty...

Yes, money did exchange hands, but you still saved me a ton of time and busted knuckles dub. Plus, it was kind of a bonding experience for the whole family there. Everyone got to see how a lift goes in, and they got to hang around with some cool and frosty beverages and get to know each other a little better.

I don't know if anyone on the planet could be considered a saint, dub, but you're good people in my book.

Boy this thread jack was interesting. Having been born & raised in Pennsylvania, then living in Los Angeles/Long Beach for 15 yrs, then 11 years in the South (Dallas), now 16 months in Central/Northern Arizona, and hubby born/raised in Chicago......I can relate to virtually every description all of you have described! Guess I'm one messed up DUDE (err, dudette I guess). :grinp:

Since this is already pretty jacked......Lookin' forward to Moab sooooooo much, got the Ranchos on yesterday and all my pissin' & moanin' about the ride is over! Thanks Deermagnet for pushing me over the edge!

Milwaukee is awesomely midwest. We have festivals here all summer. Beer flows non stop. Most people know and help their nieghbors. There are Harley Davidson Rally's and all kind's of fun. Chicago is a blast to go visit too. I like winter sports-snowmobiling and hunting and although the weather can be rough, the change of seasons is nice. To each there own, but many are chosing to put the midwest down. I for one enjoy it.
I go to AZ quite often and I have noticed no difference in the people. My brother lives in Fort McDowell just northeast of Scottsdale and Fountain Hills.
It's awesome- they can legally drive ATV's and dirt bikes,golf carts on the street!

We just had a guy in the Army Reserves return from Iraq after 14 months IIRC (I know it was less than 18 months) that is a coworker & the first place he visited for a small 4 day vacation once returning to the states (Erie, PA) was Chicago. He had a Blast and wants to return at a later date.

I only know Gill & CeCe (Chicago transplant) are GREAT people to travel with! (just don't let CeCe work the elevator...)

& to keep with the REAL thread subject....LDUB is the man...a real lend the shirt off your back kind of guy! I needed a PCV when mine failed in Moab and he offered me his (okay...not the one being used by Suzie...but a back-up nonetheless...lol)

Beer flows non stop

Ya tell me about it, back in Mexico we usually dont drink beer, its all about hard alcohol at nightclubs and parties never beer, and here in Milwuakee at parties thats usually the only thing they have
