No on the dealer.

Yes on the transmission. I am going to pick it up on Thursday with Tom.

Hey now, you're only 10 years older than me.

If they do I will sell the one I bought. I just want my truck back and this was a good deal.

And your point? Are you saying I need to get off my kiester and do something? IT guys aren't supposed to be active.

Good evening.

Went to a city meeting where they discussed proposed upcoming street rehabilitation. There are a lot of stupid people in Maple Grove. Speaking of stupid Maple Grovites I did not see you there Chris...

Evening everyone!!

Well .. I think we've decided to replace the van and buy something decent for Katie if we can get a small loan ($2K). Then I'll drive the plastic pile around town until it either dies or I decide to attempt fixing it myself. We need the truck for camping.

Looking at Bonneville or Grand Prix at the moment. I had a 99 GP GT. Other than the transmission going on me twice and the intake gaskets failing three times (mechanic stupidity), it was a great car. We were dumb to sell it. Oh well ...
