Haven't seen a paycheck since 1997, don't expect to see one in the future.

I made my money the old fashoned way...I inherited it.

Morning, So Cal. I've been in Chicago for a few days. It's been a shock coming back to this heat wave. Ugh!

I dunno. If that product was at the show I did not see it. But it's a 1,000,000 ft/sq show and I only saw a small part of it.

In a way, I suppose. she hasn't come back yet, which is good for me, because I've been pulling double shifts past few days (mandatory overtime). My brother is coming over to give me a hand and try to speed things up, if possible.

I hitched up the new rig today. All by myself this time. Not a big deal, but it is my first fiver. Ran some errands, and snapped a couple of pics. Using the wheel wells as reference, my truck sits pert near perfectly level with the trailer loaded up. It is 2" high in the rear when unloaded.
