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.

Howdy right back Chris!
Thanks Jay! I'm kinda looking forward to the drive. Not ready to be back in Ely, but this drive will definitely be different!
Hey Michael! I definitely am not ready for the next semester of classes yet. Nothing too hard, just enjoying the last three weeks of slacking off!
Why didn't they do the Roadhouse?! That was about the only good thing K102 has on the radio anymore. Without that, I'll just permanently switch to 98.1 out of St Cloud.
Well my day had a large unexpected twist to it.... This morning I woke up and looked out the window to see my trucking leaning on one corner. I got some coffee at the hotel lobby and walked out to check it out. Lo and behold, a flat tire. Lovely. So I stare at it for a few minutes thinking to myself about how the coffee tastes like crap anyways and the day shouldn't get too much worse. On the second styrofoam cup loaded with watered-down hotel coffee, I came to the realization that I could maybe spring for a set of rear tires. So off I went to Tires Plus. I went in, told them what I needed, drove the truck over and went about my day. About twenty minutes later, they called me, and said that my front tires were outdated and that the tread was less than legal. To end this story, I ended up with four new tires. Woo. At least I'll be able to drive a little better through the snow now. I started writing this post last night, and my computer died. I was too tired and lazy to grab my charger so I just continued to write it in yesterday's point of view.

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.

Good evening guys! Hope everyone had a good day! I finished hauling some more stuff out of my storage shed and then we had a fire out back and Jase roasted some marshmallows. Not too often you can do that in January.
Oh don't be afraid! It will be fun! Lol

Good evening MN. Back from our weekend in RI. Less snow here now then when we left which wasn't much to start with. Maybe an inch or so. Next storm on Thursday will be a rain storm, then cold after that.

Troy maybe no signal at the cabin they were in but you get signal when you get to a town...
Chris you lost me again with your last comment.
That sucks Jim. Nothing but a few snow showers later this week and then warm again for the weekend.
