They sure are beautiful trucks. I like the CocaCola one the best, but they're all nice.

The kids are back in school!!! Yea!!! Should be quieter around here now. Although where my apt is, I don't hear the kids anyway. So it is a moot point, but it sounded good right? LOL

Happy Monday FTE!!!

Jim

G'day to all in the FTE family Looks like everybody had a busy weekend ... as far as being successful ...well maybe not so much huh Donna !!!
I really wish some folks would at least TRY to keep their word. I guess they don't realize that sometimes all you have left is your word. You're correct in saying that a lot of business is conducted on a handshake and a personal word !!! It must be from toooooo many lawyers !!!

Gerry, nice pictures... looked like a good turnout and a nice day up there
I did not know there was such a thing as a Mercury truck ... news flash to me

Gotta get out side and finish up my chores before it A. rains ... B. gets way too hot !!... C. refuse to walk away from the A/C ... D. all of the above
Take care... play safe !!! Dave

Yep, yesterday was their first day back & it went well for them, except for trying to get home! My kids didn't show up after school, I waited awhile figuring the bus may have broken down, but after 30 minutesof waiting, I got worried & finally called the school! Apparently alot of the kids taking the buses didn't know which bus to get onto, they got onto the wrong buses & it took about 45 minutes to get it all straightened out. So, my kids didn't get home until 4:40pm.
I sure hope today goes better.

LOL!....The good ol' days are gone! No more "A mans word & a handshake" & I've also had trouble paying bills, etc. because alot of places don't deal with cash anymore - ONLY credit/debitcards!
I refuse to use credit/debit cards. After my ex & I helped my mom pay off her 6 credit cards = $30,000 in credit card debit, I swore I'd NEVER have a credit card!!! Granted, I don't have a gambling habit like my mom did. She'd use 1 card to pay for the other & so on & only pay the interest + $20. So... I do cash or money orders for everything that way there's NO waiting for it to clear & no extra charges.(No bad credit either - just have NO credit LOL!)

Anyway as for lastnight, I didn't meet the guy in V.C. This guy actually kept his word!!! I guess there still are a few people left that truely keep their word.
I waited until after 5pm to see if he'd be available or not, & he finally texted me about 8:30pm & said he had traded the motorcycle for something else. I was bummed, but atleast he let me know.
I think I'm giving up on trying to find a motorcycle. We'll just keep the car & Jimmy can use it this winter.
I'm going to focus on trying to get Karl a 1988 or newer 250 -400cc dirtbike/enduro. Someone out there has the perfect bike & needs/wants a 2007 19 hp TroyBilt Super Bronco riding lawn mower w/ cruise control!
