"Home office" will be in Cheshire so until I find a new place I will actually be about 5 minutes closer to home with way less highway travel.

Hi Aaron.
Yeah, sometimes things just implode.

Tomorrow is a new day.

Unhappy Sad day...

Sold the Excursion this evening. I delivered it to the buyer I met last weekend.



My wife didn't have time to follow me out there, so I did it myself with the enclosed trailer. It barely fit!







Looks happy at its new home though:

We were looking anyways, just not in that direction. If this works out we have to let our finances settle and then, yes, we will be looking for a new place in that general area.

My wife was the one doing the backing, I was running around taking pictures and checking clearances. And yes, she climbed out the back!

I'd say I just got back from a diesel meet...but we didn't quite make it there. Buddies 7.3 died at a red light, pulled him into a parking lot under a light and after about 3 hours we had 7 trucks join us. Lol
