Good morning Nevada, hope you enjoyed the weekend!
Jim, this is great news, my friend, congrats!!!
Well, it has finally happened. I am in my own apartment, and I have my laptop connected via Ethernet cable not WiFi!!!! So much faster. And I am the only one on it. Not sharing with 50 other people, (which is interesting because the Vet Plaza only has 23 people at its max, and not everyone has a computer, or phone. Someone is handing out the password when they shouldn't be).
Anyway, I am exhausted, and still somewhat dehydrated, but I am home. It is still a mess in here, but I had to get the laptop online before I do anything else.
After all got to keep my priorities straight! Ended up costing me $100 to rent the U-Haul truck instead of $63 like last time, and I even put less miles on it. However, U-Haul pulls the old motel/hotel trick and on the weekends, they charge $29.95 for their trucks instead of $19.95 and they charge 99 cents a mile instead of 59 cents.
Think I will spend the weekend getting everything setup and put where I want it. Also going to have to complain about the back windows. I cannot open the, to get a cross breeze in here. One has no screen, so I am guess they had a window AC in there at one time. However, the other one has a screen, but I still cannot open it. Well check tomorrow to see if it has one of those window locks on it. Anyway I am a happy camper!

Yeah still up in the air on the motor, got a while before the decision has to be made.
Going to focus on body repair and prep for now then suspension.
Most likely will be a GT 40 out of an Explorer.
