Heck ya. I actually havent even listed the 6.0l. My dad has been driving it since he got laid off because the tires on his Jeep are shot. But he mentioned to my neighbor I was looking to get rid of it and he's interested.

Happy Saturday Nor Cal FTE and friends.

I'll be heading out to Indio in about an hour. Have a room reserved at a Motel 6 there so I will be able to have Internet access.

It was an awesome concert! Jackie still sings like an adult, but talks like a child in between songs. It is so cute. Although now, she has grown taller, and looks like she is 15 instead of 13. I got here at 3:10 and checked in and got my ticket. Then checked into the Motel. The stupid Garmin GPS took me on a wild goose chase and made me an hour late getting here. What a joke. Told me to go North on the 15 instead of South. Then after 27 miles it tells me to turn around. Another joke was the folding wooden chairs the resort had us sitting in. I was 14 rows back in the center of the auditorium, and we had wooden chairs. I sure hope they don't send me a customer satisfaction survey, they will not like my answers... However, seeing Jackie in concert was well worth the trouble and expense to get here.

updates are key and also having a knowledge of area beforehand. I check on line before I venture far away but for local (45 miles) jobs I do trust garmin although sometimes it will say go this a way when I know for a fact its that a ways.
Time for a cup o joe

I remember seeing Toto in concert a few years back, at another casino/resort, and we had the cheap seats. Aluminum bleachers. That was a painful 90 minutes. At least with the Jackie concert, I was a lot closer to the stage. However, my right foot kept falling asleep. LOL

They were when we went, but that was 2-3 years ago if I remember correctly. They played "Rosanna" back then, but saved their best song "Africa" last. I had not heard of most of the songs they sang, but recognized those two right away.
