I'm not sitting here waiting for some big expensive thingie. If he has that idea, he got it from himself.

Ring?

I was talking about the interior of the King Ranch truck being so fancy...

Haha Mark. I thought maybe I was misunderstanding what you said. Maybe Lisa is using the ring as an analogy?

Oh. I thought you were being metaphorical about..well nevermind. One minute we're talking about rings...the interior comment threw me for a loop, especially since that was on a different thread. I thought you were implying that since I am a plain interior type of person, then I wouldn't be into big expensive rings and whatnot...er..something like that

Even though I am a plan interior kind of person doesn't mean I can't appreciate a really nice interior. That King Ranch interior is beautiful. Doesn't mean I'd spend the money for the upgrade.

I am a demolition expert and I'd have it destroyed pretty quickly. The bad thing about nice things is that they are usually require a lot of maintenance. Randy's dad's truck is all leather..smells like a dead cow, its great. But in a truck like that I'd be afraid to drive to work with a cup of coffee, or get mud on my boots, etc etc.

The Lariat leather cleans up real nice but I could see where I would not do well with the KR style leather either Lisa. Especially with two dogs and now two kittens. Yikes!

Lisa...I prolly could have quoted it but since it was a quote I was refering to, I got lazy.

I wouldnt want leather out here in Az...my interior regularly gets to 150 degrees, I have to be really careful with the seat belt buckles!

Cleaned up as in wash? Or clean up as in prep for paint. I'm a little confused at the moment.

Walmart here was very limited in their oil choices. They didn't have anything heavier than 5-30 and they had absolutely zero Rotella. Ended up going to AutoZone. I cleaned them out of all but one of their 5-40 syn gallon jugs.

I have to say that for a chain like AZ they do have some pretty helpful people there. Courteous and always know where things are in the store.

I'm having dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets

No, no computer yet at work today. In fact, I had to go downstairs and "borrow" the graphic designer's computer to do a simple printout of the company logo. They are still pushing for the computer..but I am asking for about $10,000 worth of equipment so, I guess its going slow.

Jay...I'd like to see more pictures of your kittens.

Ya Silicon valley is actually just north of where the wires were cut. i guess at this point they are counting it as Domestic Terrorism and the FBI is involved. It shut Everything down today. i still dont have cell service.
