Boss Hog

I'm getting one of these. This is my little brothers new puppy, now I know why they put these things on the front of Mack trucks. Grrrr. I told Jen that I want one last night, hopefully the Easter Bunny brings me one. My brother flew from Boston to Indy to pick it up, I think it set him back a little less than 3 g's.

I remember when my brother and I were in high school and college. He was a couple years behind me. We used to fight, lots. As kids we would either be brawling with each other, the other kids in the neighborhood or kids we played hockey with. Brian had alot of aggression and living close to the enough to the city my dad thought that a boxing gym would be a good outlet for his aggression rather than at school. My dad has probably regretted that decision more than anything else. Bri had the same amount of aggression, he just knew how to fight that much better.

In high school Brian started getting big, like from my size to 6' 215 size and we both decided that it would be a good idea if we stopped fighting with each other. I remember the last fight we had, exactly the same as the two brothers in "A River Runs Through It" in the kitchen. Probably the biggest thing I learned about fighting from him is that the people that talk aren't the ones you have to worry about; the guys you worry about are the ones that don't say anything before they drill you in the face.

Anyways, say hello to the Furry Black Cats newest cousin Boss Hog.

Hey man, when you stopped by the Hub the other day, and we were talking about your PowerTap, and Ron asked you what your max wattage is.... did you say 2800? or did I not hear you right? because 2800 doesn't seem right, unless you can take Pettachi in a sprint or something...

Dan, I've got a sweet piece of land in southern FL I want to show you the portfolio for.

I want one Tosh. I think that thing is badass. Maybe you missed the part on how much they cost!!

Also, my brother waited for over a year before the breeder had one for him. Yes they do put them on the front of trucks but I don't think I'm going to find one that fell off the back.

Honestly Dan, the highest I have seen is 1300 W. The only race I have used it for was Froze Toes so I don't have very good MAX data.

What's a Watt?
