Her and the girls are looking into renting an apt till I get back and then we are going to head south! This is rolling fast!!
Congrats man, seems like we ate two house payments forever before we sold the place in Beebe...

Jeez that was a busy week. Went 4 days without getting on the site. Didn't even realize it.

That two house payment thing bites. I did it for a year after we moved out here.

Yeah, we were pretty nervous about getting stuck with the house but we will come up on top cause we won't have to make the April payment on the house since we will close before we would get hit with a late fee. Now it is just the fun joy of getting an apt for only a few months.

Zack, I think you jinxed me. I rode my bike to work Friday. Ran good, and sure nice to be out and about.
Pulled the bikes out of the shop Sat morning, went back inside, got all dressed to ride, went back outside and hit the button...nothing, just a little grunt, then click. click, click.
My wife's bike is good to go, but the other dresser needs a battery too(already knew that). I get to buy 2 batteries this season.
We took the Jeep to Tulsa Sat. :-(

Kinda quiet around here, guess everybody has been busy with life. Looks like we completely missed our annual meeting Come on guys, we've got to keep this chapter moving
Been real busy around here, trying to keep up with work, projects around the homeplace and the remodel is back on at the river place.
My ol blue 94 F250 finally laid down on me and now I guess I'm getting farther away from Fords, moved all of the tools over to my 95 Dodge. Bought a 2001 PT Cruiser a few months back, didn't take my wife but a few weeks to burn the motor up though. With the price of fuel and gas being so much less, I decided it was time to put a motor in it for a daily driver. Finished it yesterday and now I know why I no longer work on automobiles, I must be getting old or these newer cars sit a lot lower than they used to OUCH!
We're headed out tomorrow for the first teardrop camping trip of the year, just a few days in OK with friends. Looks like we're going to take the wife's Yota Rav4, it'll be the first time my camper has ever been pulled by anything but my ol 53, not too sure how this will play out.

Been real busy here too. I did finally get the plugs changed in the 07 F150. It was a breeze! The 4.6 sure is easier to deal with than the 5.4.

Jeff, who should we blame for not arranging a get-together in March? It's all politics I tell you, someone needs to take the fall for this one.

I've got broad shoulders, I'll take the blame on that Walley. Spent $90 on mine Monday so I could ride Tuesday & Wednesday. The ride into work was a little cooler than I like both mornings. But the ride home was AWESOME!

I tried to rep you for that, but apparently I don't spend enough time on FTE anymore to have spread enough around to send another one your way.

Where I'm getting sick of it is the beautiful weather during the week and the crappy cloudy/rainy stuff on the weekend. That has got to against the law some how.

That's one of the joys of being self-employed, I work on the weekends a lot of times so my customers don't have to shut down during the normal workweek. I just take my days off during the week, usually don't have to fight the crowds to do anything and the weather is always good.
