Alan my ride for Saturday fell thru, so I'll bring my truck over on Sunday. What time is good for you?
I need to get my truck emptied of all the old appliances I've gathered from work, hopefully the scrap yard will be open tomorrow. It wasn't last week, and they had no sign or explanation for being closed.
Terry. I was out of work for almost 3 years, unemployment ran out in April. If it wasn't for applying to the same job more than once, and going through a long frustrating hireing process with HY-Vee. I wouldn't have the 2 jobs I have today., and trust me, I'm still trying to catch up on all the bills that I couldn't pay before.

'Evening all! Tiff and I are back from dinner. We had a great time.
Lee, anytime on Sunday is good. I usually get up early and I'll be pulling that Bravada engine anyway. Actually, anytime after 1000 would be fine. That'll give me some time to go over and drag the Bravada back here. I need to sell these cars so I can free up some parking around here. This is getting ridiculous.

Remember to have a small front yard (less grass to cut) a large enough side yard to park a few cars for sale. And then a small back yard with nice grass to cut.
Then out back a big shop with lots of room to move vehicles around and might as well build a pit and a lift and a paint boot in the end.
Mine is 30 D x 40 L and the 40x12 lean to on the back side. I plan to concrete the last to bays when I am home this summer and maybe put in a pit??
You know the metal carports are easy to put up and close in, and are not permanent so no need to pay property tax on them????
What about the space across the street??

Good Morning Everybody!
Well, today's the day. I didn't collect as much as I wanted. The guy with the carburetors never got back with me so now I have a set of tunnel ram carburetors and nothing to put them on. It's easy enough to change them back to a single four barrel type carb. I needed one anyway. ...now I have two!. It does tick me off a little because I used up just shy of $100 to build them. I could've taken that money to the auction with me instead. The other two guys that owe me are stopping by this morning to pay me. (Them I believe.)
