One is a 2wd turbo 7.3 with a 5 speed that hasn't run in a while, and the other is a 92 4wd with a seized 7.3 and a 5 speed. Guess what I had planned?

There's also a 91 with no title and absolutely beat to *****, but it's a good running 7.3 with a 5 speed 4wd.

Well, I got picked up by another contractor starting tomorrow, so no unemployment for me. That's always a relief. Now to just save up money again for my (evil) projects.

Good to hear, never a good feeling wondering when the next check will come.

Good morning Iowa, happy Hump Day! At least it's above zero this morning. Yesterday was just ridiculous!

It was a beautiful day to be working outside!!! I'm actually over in Council Bluffs right now working on building a new substation. I'll be here for a few months, at least.

Good morning Iowa, welcome to Thursday!

You'll really like the next few days, then. 45 today, and 52 tomorrow!

Yep, we are having our mid January thaw here. I am sure we will pay for it later...

Oh, not complaining at all, I will take it! Every nice day we have is one less that could have been cold and nasty... Not even bothered by the attempts at rain/snow we have had over the last few days. Haven't seen it into the 40"s or 50's like the SW part of the state, but I am fine with the temps we have had.

We've only had 4 1/2 inches of snow so far this winter. Looks like its going to be a dry one, like last year was.

We've had a little more than that, but not a whole lot.
