Hey all! Hope everyone had a good last few weeks and some great holiday time!! I've been home with our internet down and didn't get a chance for alot of free time. Nothing new really for me. We have my mom's side of the family Christmas this weekend in Moorhead, so I'm sitting in the hotel room waiting for people. I left yesterday and hung out with a buddy of mine in Detroit Lakes. Drove up to Moorhead today and will drive from Moorhead to Ely on sunday. Just thought I'd drop in and say hi as i'm trying to read the back log of posts on here!

Good morning MN.

Well another day in paradise! Another day closer to the weekend. I got tires for the wifes car, OUCH! I am in the wrong buisness. Next time we buy a car I really need to pay attention to tire size. Her car has 18" wheels so tires are $$$$. Well time to make the donuts.

New tires always hurt. Have fun making those donuts. Some day I know you will share them with your FTE Brothers...

We have Allies 1st birthday party this afternoon.

Hey guys.

That is a nice truck, kinda high mileage. I have to break it to ya, I am not gonna get a truck. Wife is taking a teaching job with no guarantee to be hired again next fall. I have decided to let her (haha let her, ya right) take this job even though it means less (a lot less) income per year. I have to put my truck on hold to see if she will get a job next fall. It is a dream of hers to be a teacher, so who am I to stand in the way. I have to keep 'ol blue for a bit until things pan out. I did not really want to put the hitch back in but no choice.

Yeah ... new tires suck. I paid $700 for the four on the truck last year. That was CHEAP. I had a 10% over cost coupon for Tires Plus. I'm guessing there must have been some error in their computer. They were selling them for only 3% over cost at the time. The next size smaller was actually more expensive.

Sucks about the truck Cory. Yeah ... dreams and $$$ don't necessarily go hand in hand. Now ... that doesn't mean we'll stop posting trucks for ya ... you opened a can of worms that can't be closed.

Good Evening FTE MN!!! We spent the day at my grandmother's house (where we're moving to). Finally got some stuff sorted/thrown away. Also spent pretty much all afternoon getting one wall of wallpaper and a wallpaper border in the bedroom taken off the walls. Sorry ... just not a wallpaper guy.

Man am I tired now. My feet are screaming at me.

Well, I came out to the shop to toss some ball joints in the truck and found out that there is no Roadhouse on K102 tonight. Then I found all of my tools out on the tool cart and scattered about the pile of crap Saturn that needs a head gasket. Thanks Jon...
