What's up fellers, not far from going outside and lighting the grill for some dinner.
Tomorrow the fun begins again, with "Hurry Up and Wait". Now it's the body shop's turn. But once they get it then hopefully we'll start getting someplace. I'm still waiting for them to tell me about further damage. Something is bent and or broken to have the truck sit like he does.

Y'all stay warm

Does your insurance company not let you get a rental car?

I can get a rental car, I just thought I had that coverage on my policy, and I don't. I also don't want to pay for a rental car that will mostly sit in the drive way.

Larry,

The race sounds like it was real good. Sorry I couldn't make it man. But hopefully next month Ole Blue will be running and I'll see it then.

Is anyone else thinking of macking the August Race? I don't mind driving if you want to catch a ride. Lucille has an almost never used back seat if we get enough people.

I'd like to say it'll speed up from here... unfortunately probably will take atleast 2 weeks to get it right.

I love my truck, but I believe that I could love a newer one too.

This truck set level before. It's a little bit off kilter right now.
Ouch! Man I am sorry to hear your truck got crunched up like that, hopefully you'll be back as good as new soon though.
