New to you

[deadwoodzzzzz]

New guy from the York/Harrisburg, PA area.

Been reading a lot of the tech info here and found it quite helpful - thanks guys - so I thought I'd join up.

Currently driving (daily) a '97 Cherokee, auto, 8.25 rear, 30" BFG ATs......only has 110K on the motor and its been treating me right since I purchased it back in April. Future mods/fixes to include a small lift, new diffs, new brake lines, front bumper (banged this one up already), and we'll see what else. Not looking to go crazy with this jeep - hoping to get a CJ or TJ in the next year for that.

Prior vehicles have included:
73 Bronco - shoulda never sold my baby (my first vehicle at 17)
82 Dodge Omni - beat the crap outta that and not bad in the mud
89 Full Size Bronco w/33" ATs - lost that one in the divorce
86 F-150 - Beat the snot outta that one
92 F-150 - Ditto
83 F-250 - Loved the flat/stakebody bed I put on it
94 Exploder - It Exploded
02 Escape - What was I thinking?

Currently unemployed but looking for work anywhere in the mid-atlantic or north east....I'm an environmental consultant and pro bird dog trainer.

you cant get your dog to stay off your bed???




i think im gonna get a GSP next.. my uncle has one from on point kennels..

Getting your dog to stop whining??? or just sing along with them.......

Keeping them out of bed? Depends on where you want them to sleep.....if you want them on the floor give them a dog bed or something to lay on and teach them "down means down".....I have a 1 year old that will lay down at bedtime and when I wake up in the morning she'll look at me to see if its ok to get up yet....gotta be consistent - or just put them in a crate for the night.

I know Dave and Carol from Onpoint Kennels in NH....we've judged together and our dogs share some similar ancestry....good people.
