I've been up to Ames a few times for the NU/ Iowa state games. How far away is that from you?

Its about 4 or 5 hours, it depends on who your riding with. As a has been truck driver I tend to get the job done. They live close to the university there across from the Holiday Inn. How is your wife's new Explorer? Ours has been a good one, a tad underpowered for me, but the wife is really happy with it.

She likes it. Like you said, a litte underpowered for my taste, especially with the way Black runs now! Nice riding, and that damn thing is quiet!

I"ve stayed at that Holiday Inn there by the university.

The times we've been to Ames we've stayed at the Holiday Inn. I've read the progress report on Black, Sounds like an altogether new truck that you are very happy with. The wife is coming home Pat, she was at her sister's today. so I've got to run and clean up, she's wanting to go out tonight. Its been nice chatting with you again. Have a great weekend Pat. TTYL

You guys read about the non union electricians from Alabama that were turned away from working inNJ for not being Union? Amazing those guys drive over, spend 2 days waiting, and went home with no work done

Doesn't sound like they want electricity too bad. I've worked union jobs and that is turning down help in a time of need. Rant over.
