Thanks
Voted. Chris, I would have voted for that doggie anyway. What a cutie. I'm not bias towards Bulldogs or anything...

Hmhph..Not sure if I want to post anything on it. It ran great this morning but gave me more trouble on the way home from work. Erratic idle and I got the SES light again. I think I have some really $h*tty fuel in there...

What a bummer Cris. How frustrating for you.

Yes. I had a phone interview the other day too. I also got into grad school and the financial aid to support it. Is it any surprise that I am still a very, very confused individual.

Go with what you enjoy doing. Work, and life in general, will be much more enjoyable doing something you like.

Other than that, I'd suggest you make friends with a locksmith and start getting duplicates of all the keys since someone in your house seems to have a key fetish.

Thats good advice..about the keys. lol

As far as the job thing goes...I am still confused, not sure what I want to do. I think I'd be a good teacher, and I think I'd enjoy it...I'm hoping that if I get my Masters, during the student teaching process I'll discover that I love it.

On the bright side you have some options it sounds like. Go with you heart.
Edit: I wish I had some kind of calling. I am 44 and still do not know what I want to do when I grow up. lol Kind of sucks not having a direction in life.

I get the school bus thing all the time from my friends. Two of them always want me too pull their boats when I fish with them and I always here about how much better I can pull the same hills with ease where they struggle. I laugh like he!! A couple others I just ask them how much money has your truck made you.

I remember the party lines from when I was a kid. This one lady was always on the d@mn phone gossiping with all of the old cotton tops and you could never use the it.

On another note, the company I work for is now 10 employees short. They even made the maintenance guy go around and take out light bulbs that were not directly over where people work. Dont know if there will be any more layoffs or not. Nobody had said a word. I was just walking around today and saw people packing up their stuff. So now we wait.

I saw a school buss with a T444E in it the other day. I was tempted to buy it since it was only like 500 bucks.

Now are the mounts and everything the EXACT same as the 7.3? If it is I'm gonna kick myself. Could've had a spare 7.3 laying around for 500 bucks. And sold the trans, front end, and rear end and scrapped the rest.
