So, remember this from yesteday? Well, along with the 5 then sent me Tuesday, 4 more showed up last night!! I was on the phone with Amazon for an hour. They are sending me return shipping tags, but I bet there will be more on the porch tonight, since their status showed that they hadn't shipped yet when I called last night!
Send me a couple! I could use a spare set!!!

Hi Bruce,
Yea we are building a house in Goldfield. Or should I say hope to start the house this summer. Things have been on hold since the wife shattered her ankle in 10 pieces. Five month off work, over one month in the hospital, having to hire an attorney to fight with Workman's comp. This has been an interesting year. Up side a great surgeon from Reno Orthopedic Clinic nailed, bolted & screwed it all back together & it has healed nicely. She has returned back to work.
As for the center of the universe not to sure about that but is pretty much in the center of not much. That is fine with us.
Hope all is good with you.

Craig

Only part time. The wife is working in Nevada. We plan to be here completely sometime this year. We still own a Prickly Pear Farm outside Seligman AZ. We will go down at harvest time. Other than that we sold everything else in Arizona. All we own in Nevada now is where we are building our house a little over a 1/3 of an acre. Sold everything in Nevada in 2013.
I'm ready to retire. I have been flipping property for the last 3 years & I think I have enough left to build our house here. The wife keeps talking about retiring & maybe just substitute teach part time. She is vested in Nevada PERS can draw that for life if she wants. So its just a day at a time.

Like my newest toy? 1973 Galaxie 500. 73,000 original miles. All original. Just replaced the OEM plug wires yesterday. Runs like a champ. cruises nice at around 65-70 mph. It was a barn find in Nevada. Car was bought in Denver new. Had a bunch of clean up to do etc. Still has the OEM bottom radiator hose & a few heater hoses on it. Rubber was better back then what is that 42 years old still pliable.

Goodmorning guys,

TGIF! (Finally) Guess we'll see if I'm working today. We got off early yesterday because of the rain, so we'll see what happens.
Have a awesome day!

Morning everyone,

Happy Saturday!
I guess I should get ready for my dentist appt. Yes, on a Saturday!
Absolute Dental on Topsy Ln. in Carson City is now open on Saturdays.
Afterward Jimmy & I are going to get my new bike. I'm so excited!
Jimmy gets to ride it home since the roads might be wet. I've never riden in anything but dry weather. I'll be sure to post pictures.

Have a great day!
