I wanted to show Tiff I put my first check in the bank so I told her to check the balance. I had no idea that the tax return cleared today as well. Both our eyes bugged out of our heads. Darn near five figures in the now. If only my paycheck was that good every week!

Got mine today too! sent my money with buddy to his undisclosed salvage in AR to pick up my engine. They pulled the wrong engine.

Well my noise came back today. so I'll be going by my Mechanic's shop on my way to Forsyth to look at the rims I want to buy.
I damn well sure hope that sound sticks around this time so the mechanic can hear it.
Then when I get back to town. i have a side job to do, so I can make some more money to buy my tires before they go up in price.
That leaves me to do my springs, shocks, and tail shaft seal on Sunday, along with the other chores that need to be done for the week.

Hey Ches, the guys at work have a Toyota Camry with a bad crank. The JUNKYARD wanted $1,400 for an engine. We went on line and found a rebuild kit with a crank, one rod, pistons, rings, seals gaskets, everything, for $400. With getting the head checked and doing a valve job and my labor to built it, they should around $600 for a new engine. ...Compared to $1,400 for a junkyard engine.
Just something to think about. You also know a guy that could help you build it, too!
