Yeah, it does to me too. I think there's probably a few out for the hunt. Or just scrambling to get everything done for the weather change.

You guys have about 250 posts a day. That's dead? Another forum I'm on has about 5 posts on the weekend, and maybe 40-50 the whole week.

It has been kinda dead. I've been pushing to get the trucks running and in "fighting shape" for winter, although with my recent realization that the B2's 4x4 doesn't work I'll probably try to get the interior stripped out for damage assessment and repair soon.

This place isn't dying, it's a seasonal thing. Spring and fall are slow. In the summer we are all posting pics of trial carnage and such. In the winter we are all posting about what we are gonna go do when it gets warm again.

Around here in Utah, the "Oh shit, it's going to snow and I have _____ many projects to finish" just hit. I have a whole list of things I've been putting of.

I am truly a professionalcrastinator.

I asked for advice on my major project a few months ago, and put it off until hopefully this weekend. I might put it off another weekend. :D

And, adsm was one of my main advice givers.

I'll tell you, I've kicked myself in the a$$ for years for not going through Ford's ASSET program. I really missed my calling in life. But at least it's a hobby for me.
