I got the pre-approval from the credit union today for a truck....I just need to decide on which one I want.

Even the crappy weather can't bring me down!

Yeah, it's one of the biggest. Gotta have enough room for the camper, the gator, and most importantly, the TIKI BAR!!

Good morning! Full boogie sun here, not a cloud! Get the lawn mowed so I can fool around all weekend. First thing first, put the new cruise switches in the truck. Hope everyone has a great and safe weekend!

Good morning everyone. It's cold out but who cares, not at work for another 5 days.
Made it to the campsite last night about 8:30. First night in the new camper, bed no as bad as I thought it was going to be.
Only have one dog now, put the other one down yesterday afternoon. She has been sick for about a month with a tumor that was pushing it's way out. I have had her longer then my kids, 14 1/2 years, but she is in a better place now.

Yes, very sorry for the loss of your friend. Post up the name and we'll certainly toast.

Also, the passenger headlight housing is broken. Again, not a deal breaker.

He's pretty set on 15,5 too.
