Too funny Orin! I'm not even going to tell you what I paid for my '06 then!

I talked to the bank and we are still a go for Friday morning if the appraisal isn't crazy. It is up to 30 here. I am with Scott and am going to put some shorts on at lunch.

I think we may be having a tropical heat wave but while there are some of us that can and would wear shorts out in public I will stay in my insulated bibs. I' ll bet that's an age related issue. LOL!

Pat, I worked in the dealerships until 98 and have several friends still in so I know how much and for me it makes my stomach turn, refer to last line in above for full details.

I fear that I must go to the salt mine again. I have put this off as long as possible but am getting too edgey to stay put so it is time to roll. Later gents.

Wow, tropical heat wave hits Wyoming!!! Orin, it actually makes me nuts how expensive these things have gotten. I've actually saved up quite a while to get this truck. I've been wanting one for about ten years!! So, that lessn'd the blow somewhat.

Ya pat, it turned out to be a lot less exciting than I thought it would be. Those little robots are awesome to watch though.

Good midmorning all, I just stopped in for a moment on my way back out the door to catch up on the happenings. Miles, some people just have all the fun but on the other hand had it been a real threat there would have been plenty of exitement to go around.
Sounds like the countdown on the house is single digit now. Like Ken said, nothing replace's the memory of your first house.
