Good morning everyone, hope that everybody has a great day today. Lisa, good luck today on the NEW job. Don't be nervous, you already got the hardest part done with the interview. Now I guess I will wait and see how the first day has gone.

Good morning all.

Lisa, as Scott said, don't be nervous. I know it's hard not to be starting a new job and all though. At least you got an interview, I just go straight to the job.

Everyone else have a great day, I'm out the door.

At risk of being stoned to death, I tend to agree. I have never been a fan of the really "round" look. I think the new Tundras are ugly as hell too. I think it looks like a toad.

Hmm, Brandon I didn't know that. How many thieves know about this? I will have to try it.

Cool. I figured someone somewhere had done it. Its just such a feminine color, on such a masculine vehicle.

I'm sure it will be fine. They are all just as excited as I am I think.

Have a good day Mike. Feels weird to be "going to work" doesn't it?

I had to replace the locks on my tool box Lisa. It was pretty easy to do. I bought a set of weather rated cabinet locks from Lowes. I had to do a little grinding on the latch on the new locks to duplicate what was on the old ones but it worked out great. Very easy to do and low $$.

I hope that you and Mike have an enjoyable first day back to work!

Good morning all! I'm back at work for my last 9 days of employment.. woohoo!! or something like that... anyway, my current big job is to find an enclosed trailer for my move. I've passed on a couple deals locally in the recent past, and now I'm kinda kicking myself for it. Oh well, done is done. I want to get something ideally this week so that I can start packing the big furniture, etc. and make sure I can get everything in that I want. Fun fun.

They have not been coast-to-coast trips, but from Baltimore to Phoenix once (and back) and now when I go back to Maryland, this will make 5 roundtrips from Baltimore to Denver.... rough numbers... 21,000 miles just on those trips...

Hey everyone, what's up?

Back to work after a killer weekend for me. Yeah, it sucks but oh well, I've got bills.

This morning, I had to run into town to the Grainger warehouse to pick up some stuff for a project we are doing. I took one of the company rigs, a 2006 Duramax 4x4.

It felt like I was driving a car. No noise from the motor and very car like. I felt so, so, how do I say it? I felt metrosexual. Driving that thing gave me an urge to put on Docker's shorts, a pink polo, a pair of loafers without socks and turn up some Boy George.

Give me my 7.3 any day.....

Did the color of your truck put any weight on your purchase? I didn't pay attention to color when I was shopping, I just got lucky with mine...it really had no influence. I looked at an '01 dually and it was GOLD.
Hey! My truck resembles that remark!

J/K I was not fond of the gold color either but that is the deal I found so I went with it.
