Well fellers, it really looks like y'all are stuck with us
.
Shari and I have been renting since we moved, just over three years ago, and have been talking about buying a house.
We've started the ball rolling a couple of months ago, and been Pre Quallified for a loan. We're looking in the Apex area, and near city's. Wanting the same thing we've had in the other two houses we've bought, 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 car garage, wood burning fireplace, and prefer a fenced back yard.

if you meaning they rest on the ridge in the center of the hub.. some have that... but if you dont tighten the lugnuts down right you can still end up with a lopsided rim.. thats why they say to cross hatch them... saw a guy just go around the tires with the gun once.. still got it lob sided.. you could literally watch it weeble wobble going down the road.. tried telling him it wasnt on straight but noooooooooo... he did it with an impact gun so it had to be on straight... "theres no way the nuts werent down tight" *rolls eyes* fricken idiot...

didnt say it wasnt... was saying you still had to go side to side not just clock or counter clockwise and expect to get them on straight... thats why they teach you to do that even in the auto classes... helps get the tires on straight... you can do them without the torque stick and get them on straight... just as you can do them with a torque stick and still not get them on straight... his defence was he used the impact gun so they had to be on straight where you only get them on cockeyed by tightening them by hand... his statements so far false its not funny...

Not much going on around here, specially with this wet weather we have now. We have removed the carb off of Ka'Bluey, and need to get a rebuild kit for it. Then on to axle and pinion seals, and rear brake shoes. But tags are due on Shari's 08 Escape, so that's first.
Tim and I drove out to look at a house earlier this week, sweet place, has everything we want, and good price, but it needs to be moved 20 miles south to be where we want to live. But it was nice to get out for a bit.
So far we've found a few on line in Fuquay Varina, about 15 minutes from Josh that we like. But we're in the early stages, and don't have to rush.
I'm leaving in a couple of hours for a little guitar time in Wake Forest, y'all have a safe day.

No Wake Forest trip to play guitars today, just hung around the house.
I have finally, getting phone calls for job interviews. First call is for a Security Gard job that I don't really want. Then as I was about to set down and feed my neck, I got the second call, one that I've been hoping to get.
The job starts in Siler City (40 minute drive) on the night shift that I'm not wold about either. But the job is one I'd enjoy. Driving a Street Sweeper cleaning Walmart Lots, and other accounts too. It pay's better then the Long Term disability that I've been on for the last 6 years and trying to get off of. Then a raise after 30 day's, and then again after 90 days.

Thanks Tony, we're in the early stages of getting finances lined up and want to buy a house this summer too. And a regular paycheck looks pretty good on an application for a loan.

Well, my interview went great, but I decided not to take the job.
I'm a huge fan of being home with my wife and son at night, then passing out in my own bed when it's dark out.
Then my insurance company that I get my disability through called, and wants me to keep an appointment they made for me to have a physical evaluation done. Then after they get those results they may offer some type of Vocational Rehab, or programs for job placement. So I'm taking that route and see what happens.
