That's good to hear.

I'm hoping to know by tomorrow night whether I'm self-employed or not.

I'm bidding some cemetery mowing.

The best part is that the neighbors never complain about the noise.

hahahaha!!! Good luck to you on that! The first bid I won I about jumped 30 ft off the ground! Nothing quite like the feeling of standing on your own 2 feet....

Yea. I figure three grand a month minus expenses should pay for some shiny parts for the truck.

Shiny part #1: New rims. My stock XLT rims appear to be ruined. It looks like an acid or something is eating away at the coating on them. It's on all 4.

It's VERY tempting to covertly swap them out for my bro's very good condition stock XLT rims. But he's been too helpful for me to be that mean.

Except before that I need an Exmark Lazer Z 48" and possibly a 12 or 16' enclosed trailer.

Edit: Another thing is this.

What would I need to do to my truck to be able to pull a 2001 F350 SRW crew cab 4x4 V10 all over the place if I hooked the trucks hitch to hitch? I've got a wager with a co-worker who swears by his V10 so of course I break his ***** about it all the time.

Sorry for being on-topic in the off-topic thread BTW.

The enclosed trailer would be really nice. I'm looking to get a 12' this summer if work picks back up.. Way too many tools to keep in the back of the truck....

Yea. Plus it provides a place to...

Use the facilities...

When you're in the middle of a busy neighborhood and ya really gotta go. Plus it keeps Johnny Law's eyes at bay. And if it starts raining it gives me a place to go hide. And it's a lot easier to lock the side door and gate than lock each thing on an open trailer.

Tons of advantages. I plan on having two ZTRs eventually so I figure I need a big enough trailer for 2 ZTRs or a ZTR and two standers so I'll probably go with 16' if I have the GVWR to do it.

Always do a smell/temperature check before you drink the yellow Gatorade!
