Morning everyone. I hope your week is going well.
It is so strange not having my minion here. She brings such joy and light to the house that it feels so empty without her.

I am now in the hunt for a 300 i6 that I can rebuild and swap into my truck. I have decided that new seals is just not going to get the job done to my satisfaction. I can't have the truck down for the time it takes to rebuild with all the machine shop work and then ordering of parts. Now the idea is to find one and rebuild it and just swap them out. I want a stock carburated motor, nothing fancy. Local craigslist so far has come up empty. If anyone runs across something, let me know.

 

Happy Humpeth day Nevada FTE and friends.

Greg, nothing on Craigslist here in the Fresno area, but even if there was, it would be too expensive to transport it to Vegas.

You could squeeze it onto one of your trailer hauls. I don't think the bike would mind
I can take the wife's Santa Fe to pick one up if it was cheap enough.

 

Sold my trailer to pay rent. So now I am trying to sell the F350 so I can pay rent, and buy a 89-92 Ford Ranger. Maybe do some ATV or motorcycle hauls with it. Problem is, nobody wants to buy my F350.

Jim

 

Damn Jim, sorry to hear things are not working out for you.
I was really hoping that guy was going to have plenty of work for you.

 

Same here, even getting hauls on U-Ship didn't work, because I could not win enough bids to make rent payments. I needed at least two a week, and was lucky to get two a month. And when I had two flat tires on the last trip, I decided the Lord was telling me something, so I put the trailer and truck up for sale, but so far, only the trailer has sold. Anyway, I am good on rent for the next two months, after that, I don't know.

Jim

 

Sorry about that Jim.

More beautiful days on the mountain.

Hope all are well.

I bet Donna is feeling pretty powerful driving that giant truck!

So Donna, how are your horses and puppies and family? Seen them lately?

 

Into each life a little rain must fall. I am sure I will recover.

I would be a bit apprehensive about driving a truck that big. Good thing they don't go to the mall!

Good Afternoon Nevada Gang.
Jim sorry to hear of your misfortunes.
Just returned from Hawthorne, NV. Had a nice time. The Crown Vic ran flawless, got an avg of 21 mpg.
My buddy Jim & I celebrated his 70th birthday for two days. First day we went to Fallon & I bought him dinner & he missed the 15K jackpot but walked out a few hundred ahead. Then the next day we took his 01 Crown Vic to Carson City. Stopped & visited Jim @ Super Sport Motors. It was good to visit with him. It had been awhile since seeing him. Then on to the Fandango, for two free dinners & cake. Jim hit a $50 keno ticket. So the trip was paid in full.
The weather was just lovely. Got to see a couple of other friends in Hawthorne.
So a fun trip.
Vici & I will return in November on our way to Reno for Thanksgiving with her family.

Bruce, your right those scorpion's are a hard pet to maintain.

 

Good morning Nevada, it's finally FRIDAY!!

 

Friday is upon us once more! And a 3 day weekend beckons! Happy Days!

Jim

 

Goodevening guys,

Happy Sunday!

I hope that you had a great weekend. It feels good to have a 3 day wknd! Ofcourses, I work Tuesday again, then off for my birthday & truck maintenance on Wednesday, then back to work Thursday & Friday. I can tell that this next week is going yo screw me all up on my days. LOL
We're all doing good here, job's great, kids great, & the puppies are lil' fluff ***** that are cutting teeth & chewing on everything. Their eating soft solid good now, but still try to nurse & Brie wants no part of that! I can't blamed her...their tiny teeth are sharp!
Jimmy may have sold the Yamaha Venture to one of my coworkers. We'll know if his loan came through on Tuesday.

Well, time to catch up on sleep. Good night everyone.

 

Great puppy pics Donna. Glad to hear that things are going well.

Hi gang. Shake off those labor day hangovers and enjoy life.

Beautiful weekend, had great fun with my wonderful friends and neighbors.

 

Had a good time with friends on Saturday night, had a BBQ going. No plans today, except to stay indoors until this evening when the temps cool down.

Jim

 

Good day at the Brewery Arts Center today. That is usually the best day of the week for me.

Hope you are all well and happy!

Hot tip. Get rich!
