That is for sure Jay.

Speaking of, how's the Lumina been doing? We need to narrow that down.

It hasn't been driven since that night we talked. And yes we do. Maybe call me or I can call you tomorrow and we can figure out a time to work on it.

Troy, how often do you pull people out of the ditch in an average winter?
The guy is out of town starting tomorrow until Monday. We won't really be ready for it until then anyway. It would need to sit in the garage.

Check out these guys. They are relatively close to where I live and Mankato. I've gotten a couple of things for our Saturn there. You'll have to call them though. There web/computer inventory doesn't have everything in it. They've been really decent to work with the couple of times I've called them.

What kind of Saturn is it? And yes .. they are plastic piles of poo. I smashed ours a couple of Months ago. They are just like legos. Smash them up and put them back together again. The plastic rivets that held the styro bumper on got broken, so it's now held on with JB Weld and Bailing Wire behind the plastic bumper.

I haven't even bothered to replace the cracked fender or the cracked wheel well. We paid $250 for it. I'm not sure it's even worth $1000 fixed up. The interior is shot.

Now what kind of priority is that? Sheesh ... want to get toys, but expect to be paid?

Well stopped by to see Michael today and run AE on his truck and low and behold it would NOT connect. I am going to call AE direct tomorrow to find out WHY. How frustrating.........

Evening everyone!!

I've been driving the truck for 3 weeks without overdrive and just finally set the code today going up a steep hill at about 30-35. If that's how it's going to be, I'll just keep clearing it until I finally get it fixed. Of course, Tom's AE decided it didn't like my truck and wouldn't find the PCM.

Did some more wallpaper peeling in the house tonight. Tonight's wall was the worst yet. The wallpaper came off in sheets. Unfortunately, the glue didn't. There was a nice layer of glue (A LOT of glue) left after the paper came off.

We'll hopefully have two bedrooms completely done this weekend. Lots more to do, but progress at least.

Good morning Steve and the rest of MN.

I am not sure how to handle this change in temp. It got a little cold outside. The extended forecast looks like up and down temps with NO SNOW! This is a record book year for sure. Well time to make the donuts.
