Mornin folks!
Christmas was a blast, good food, great family, and If anyone suggests going to see "Marley and Me" , just to let you know it is a tear jerker. it is the modern day equivalant to "Old Yeller". The first hour and a half was FUNNY, the last 30 minutes was terribly sad. I am not to big of a man to admit that I cried. If you are a dog lover it will get to you.

I was just surprised to hear that "Marley and Me" had a sad ending, I thought it was just a funny movie and then everyone lived happily ever after, the end.

Well herein lies the problem.
I'm in Connecticut. The truck is still in Rhode Island.
Dad owes me 6700$ for various work/loans that he has yet to get to me. He's supposed to get a check in on January 2nd so it'll be some time after then. Fortunately it's a gov't check so if he cashes it at any bank on the 2nd he can get cash on the 2nd.
Before you ask how dad ended up owing ME money rather than the other way around here's how it goes.
I sub a job dad's doing for 5$ a block set plus 300$ in prep work that should've been done by the time I got there. -2,300$
More work driving a compactor on a different job for the same client. -700$
Loan for dozer fuel while waiting on a check - 3,000$
Loan to make insurance payments - 500$
Assorted borrowing 20$ here and there - 200$
Anyways I hope to have the truck home by the end of Christmas break on January 5th. I've got to get my brother to go with us to pick up the truck since I don't have my license yet so scheduling there could take another day or 2.
I can take some pics of other neato stuff in the meantime.
I'm working tomorrow so you can have pics of one of the following:
1: Ford 2120 that I use to move snow/level dirt
2: Dresser TD7H dozer
3 The inside of the shop
4: The 6.uhoh DRW w/service body

Both. Marley and Me was a very funny book for the first 1/2 to 2/3, but the ending is sad. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I'm probably going tomorrow night.

My sister-in-law always picks the Christmas day movie for us to go and see, and I told that next year I am picking the movie, and it will have robots, blood and guts, and maybe a superhero.
