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?

I'll have to tell you guys the story about this network guy that I've been dealing with on this project. You will laugh.

Good morning guys.
Well, Hurley and UP are getting 8-16" of snow by Friday and I am stuck at work and busy this weekend. I got a guy at work itching to go but I cant. He has a place in the UP he stays really cheap.

Good morning Lee! It's gonna get expensive if you have to keep running all the way up to Hurley just to ride that sled!

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.

I was just going to get the Ford package but then I realized that we have Derdges at work and an HHR that the driver complains is lacking power so I ordered the domestic bundle for the Ford, Chrysler and GM.

Yeah I am sure you are. It takes time............ Doing good here. I was hoping this cold might spawn a little business but not much so far.
