Awe man. I tried to log back on as Busa01 but I've been out so long that it wouldn't let me. So I had to start all over again from being a pro. All my pictures and avatar are gone too. Awe man!!!!!! All that time and work for nothing!!!

Anyway, how's everyone?

Tom,
Nice to hear from you!

Things are same as always. I've been out of town a lot and very busy with work and my son's baseball team.

I did spend 4 days this past weekend in Carmel, Cali. I went out for the Moto GP and AMA races at Laguna Seca.
It was fun. They are fast!

Stay in touch!

Ah, it took me a while to get back to busa01 from the old tomlongo, so I think everything's okay now. I still have the Magnum, but I don't like the Dodge forum. I like it here and miss my truck greatly. This weekend, we're all going out to L-Cross to go offroading. At least I'll be riding my friends quad

Other than that, I'm just going to save and get used Ford so I can jack it up and make it a mud hopper.

Tom

It's good to be here, thanks. I just had a great time skydiving this weekend. The weather was so nice. It's nice to be back into that after the moto crash. Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well and had a nice weekend.

Tom

Hey Tom, good to see you back around! Are you getting along better now?

Have you put a lift on the Magnum yet?

Take care,

Rich

Getting along better now? Do you mean from the accident? I feel great and am even skydiving agian. And ha!, no lift kit on the Magnum yet. I don't want to put any money into it. So, I'm just going to wait a little bit and trade it back in for another F150 and jack that back up. I miss the other one, terribly.

Tom

Yeah, from the accident... Good to hear you are doing well!

Seems like, with the employee discounts Ford is giving, now is the time to get you one. I looked last week, almost went to grab a salesman and leave with a 2005 Scab, 4X4, 5.4....... Had to fight the urge. I'll make my last payment on this one in about 2 weeks. I'm going to try to get another 2-3 years out of it. I only stopped to look to cheer myself up after visiting my last surviving grandparent, who was recently moved into a nursing home after she had a massive stroke. Anyhoo, looking at new trucks always makes me feel better. I had to leave before I made a impulse purchase.

Skydiving.. I've always wanted to do that. Must be something.

The Magnum might look sweet lifted. I have seen an old Chevette 4X4 here in WV. It was a sight to see. Whatta huge POS.

Again, good to see you are doing well.

Rich

Good luck! Prepare to start working all of the time...well depending on how old your house will be. Something is always breaking, it seems. Remodeling blows.

Yea, that's what they keep telling me!

Nah, I know the inside needs some definate work...the outside is really nice, and I think it will hold up for a good 10 years at least. We are in the process of getting it inspected, termited, and appraised, so we'll know what's good and bad soon enough.

Anyways, here's the spec's:

3 Bed, 1 1/2 Bath Home
Utililty room, Living Room, Den, Kitchen, Dining Room, Attic, Fenced back yard with large storage building, nice neighborhood, Cement slab, Brick home with vinal (sp?) siding, 1 Story, Central Heat and Air, Shingled Roof, Cement driveway, Front Yard, about 1 acre total, about 10 million plants that I'll be cutting most down, Range, Stove, Dishwasher, Attic Fan, Fans in every room!, and a really expensive and cool looking Fire Alarm system...about 1, 550 sq. ft....built in the late 60's.

It was originally a rent house, so everything is white. (lots of painting to do, my mom specializes in that area )

Anyways, it's real nice and in town...about 5 miles from both our jobs!

So what do you think this is worth in a town of 40 K people that is currently growing like a weed! Lufkin, TX and the zip is 75901...give me some numbers people!

I'm also trying to hook up with Brian to go to the tail of the dragon this weekend. If I get my truck back together that is.
