I waited til the rain changed over to snow last night to fix the non-responsive starter issue. Quick replacement of the solenoid and all is well. Thinking of keeping a spare in the truck. I would get a spare ignition module as well but...I am upgrading!

Had class this morning, and am now CPR certified. Week one of class down, about 15 left to go.

For what it's worth I'm probably heading up to Cabelas. Never been there before.

Brendon I'd love to come help out but fuel money to get there is currently cost prohibitive.

Wait now, what? You have never been huh? Wow! My buddy and I used to have to travel almost 6 hours to get to the nearest cabela's and we did it fairly recently. He is pretty jealous that I have one within a half hour now!:-X06

Picked up my new cowboy hat today! I tried getting it last week, but the credit card machine was down, and I didn't have a check book with me. So I had him reshape it, and then picked it up today. Looks good

Hay I am going to Cabelas this afternoon to get a new work jacket.
I will be there about 5ish in the wife's van.
Then it is off to the Globetrotter game.

Why dont we just have a cabelas GTG lol..

I think i might go to vermont just to get gas, seeing as i paid 3.49 yesterday for 87 and now i saw 3.55-3.61 for 87 today :eek::eek::eek:

I payed $3.89 for diesel and saw the other station was $3.99.
I think I need to get the FICM tuned.

Yup. Definitely time to get a TDI. Come on either spring or snow. I need one of ya here. This in-between crap is good for nothing.

used TDi's are selling for way too much. the engines are great and get great mileage, but the vessel its installed in doesnt merit the price. if you have a hard time finding one cheap, i would look into a ford taurus. they are very reliable and not bad on gas. the overall cost of ownership would probably be better.

Aaron I figure I really can't lose if I can snatch one up under 4,000$ before fuel goes up any higher. Even if it doesn't work out for me I guarantee I could sell it and turn a profit once fuel does go nuts. New is around 24,000$ set up the way I want it so it makes sense to me to get one used as long as it's for the right price.
