I'm kinda optimistic with it, my aunt had a buyback from her Chevy dealer because they failed to fix her Colorado SS 4 times, for a leaking sunroof. If anything with a buyback I'd give them even more business and buy a 6.7 extra cab XLT. Plus, I know the owners of the dealer on a first-name basis, maybe I should talk to them.

Longhorn for dinner tonight.. bacon wrapped steak. delicious

Good morning Miles.

I'm not unhappy about the rain. We need it down here.
Makes for a lazy day and I need a break.
Unfortunately my buddy never showed up to help me reinstall my gutters yesterday.

That dining hall is awesome!
I thought it was a big deal when we went from a canvas tent to a permanent pavilion with a plank floor.

Here's a picture from our camping trip....



We had all left, and this guy was the last one to leave. We were camping at the top of a big hill. He started down the hill, blew a brake line.

The lesson here, don't buy $400 vans, and expect not to have to go through them.

Nobody was injured, but he did end up in an adjacent campsite that we occupied. Luckily the rain made us chicken out.

After my brake line adventure I can relate.
Glad no one was injured.
