that deal seems to good to be true.

that deal seems to good to be true.

That's what I thought.

I expected he'd come back with the "Sorry, it sold local, no longer available" bit.

So I sent the deposit off as soon as I got home, with a comment about what a great deal it was.

His reply:

Yeah, you're getting a deal for sure. To be honest, I'm pissed that it went for so cheap. I had local offers a lot higher than that... Let me know if you change your mind.

I figure if he was going to try to squirm out of it, that was his chance.

We'll see, and I''ll post up!

<Edit> Now that I think about it, maybe I shouldn't wait til the weekend. The ad does say "Full payment required within seven days," and Saturday would be day nine.

I'd hate to give him a reason to back out!

Had this pic of my boy in "his Jeep". Note that he is sporting MWC decals on his front quarters like Daddy's rig in the back ground He is giving the"thumb up" in the pic..not picking his nose....I think!

Make a hard copy and pit it in a photo album! You two will get a kick out of that when he's 20

So you gonna teach him how to tow it to a M&G, park a few blocks away, and drive it in?

haha Michael, smart ass! He actually drove it up the ramps (with assistance) to load it on the trailer when we were loading up for the Tri-State Run. When we were traveling through Kansas City we had a guy and gal w/ kids in their Wrangler pass us and gave a :thumbup: to us, my boy thought that was "cool". Not too often you see a truck and trailer loaded to the gills and the trailer has a built rig and a Power Wheels rig on it

insomnia is a bitch......

 

[goodburbon]

switching to a midnight to noon schedule is also a bitch...

 

[XJ Stryker]

I find a full 12 hour switch easier than Eastern to Pacific timezone lol.

When we deployed I adjusted quickly to the kuwait time which is a full 12 hour difference.

But switching from pacific to eastern kicked my ass for a week.

 

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

My insomnia was actually beneficial this morning. I went out to the shop and started (again) on my tail light boxes. The are actually going to look decent for my limited fab skills. The new band saw has made this much easier and alot better lines then would have been w/ the cut off wheel and grinder. I am using the ol' cardboard template trick and transfering it to the metal. So far so good. I may try and have the drivers side mostly tied up this evening. I might even get ambitoius enough to take some pics

Got back from a great weekend of competition in Jellico with XRRA.
Our crew of drivers got 5th/6th/7th with Dino being 5th, Stan 6th, and Rosco 7th...

For me a rosco we had a bad first run but completed the course, just slower than we should've have so that made us basically looking to lay down fast times for the rest of the day for the series points racing...

Unofficially, we believe to have finished 4th in points, before this race we were 6th...Dino finished 3rd and Stan got 10th...

Overall we are pleased with the season and headed to Colorado springs for the XRRA National Finals on Sept 19th!

Only downside to the trip was the round trip road trip chalked up two trailer tires, an 1.5 visit to a wally world for trailer tires, a goofy acting transmission in my Dodge, and a buyang tire that blew while strapped down in my truck...

mac 'trip home should've been 7 to 8 hours but took over 11' gyvr

<sigh> The timer on the water softener in the house that my g/f & I just bought has locked up tight. The softener is also 16 years old, so I'm not about to sink anything into it.

I'd like to put in a Kinetico softener, but geez, it'd cost me at least triple what I can put in a Whirlpool/Culligan/WaterBoss softener would cost me. Yes, I get that they're dual resin bed and don't take any power, but are they really that much better?

Are you referring to mine?
He hasn't called in a few weeks.
He is working night shift again. I keep telling him to get on here, but he is doesn't have much free time.
(unless your name is Krystyn.)
