Lisa, that 318 water pump is not that bad to change. just be very careful with the bolts. they like to oxidize to the aluminum housing of the pump, and snap when you try to force them out.

I hate the ABC store. Biggest ripoff in VA...between that and the lottery you would think we wouldnt have a budget shortfall!

When I was little and on the road, I remember going into a supermarket somewhere and picking up bottles of liquor and getting yelled at! Wish it was like that in VA...maybe a Walmart with Jack...Id go nuts!

The Alphabet store I can deal with...It's the d@mn lottory I hate!!! There should be seperate lines in every store that has it for that crap. I hate getting behind someone that says "run these numbers", stands there looking at all the scratch tickets saying "let me get one of those, two of those, etc...., or has about 50 d@mn number slips to run. Sorry if that offends anyone that plays the lottory but it really gets under my skin around here.

I am coming down without the motor home first. A 40 year long pal, in fact the one with the woman that screwed me on that deck so bad a couple of years back. Well, she died last Friday and now he wants my help and to make up for all the hard feelings she created I suppose. So I will go down with the truck and the Vdub and take all my tools and then drive the Vdub back for the motor home. He's in Brooksville, so that's where I am going to start out. It's a real neat little town.

Okay, I am back from shopping. It wasn't too bad, lots of pissed off people but I just smiled real big and wished everyone a Merry Christmas.

Joe- You guys are going to love GH world tour!! My sister got it on Saturday at the party we went too, the whole family loves it! We actually had my dad playing it last night, Mady thought it was really cool that her and papa play on the same level. lol.

Lisa- sorry to hear about the waterpump........

Tristan- I think it was best that I bailed off the quad, instead of falling with it. I basically just stepped off of it as it went over. My R knee wasn't strong enough to hold me though so I went down on my hands and knees.

Now I waiting on the kids to finish cleaning their rooms so we can go to my parents house for a bit while Troy tries to sleep......
