Yep! Coolest truck I've ever owned. Makes my life much easier. Thanks to this forum and it's awesome members, it just keeps kicking *** and taking names!!!!

Before this truck I owned the same truck as above, only red. It couldnt hack it. The engine was fun, but the truck couldnt do the job I needed it to.

Thanks Dave!

Hilton Head is a nice place, Hopefully the fire will leave it there since it is heading north.

I sure hope so. I've been going there since '83 and it's great. Myrtle isn't bad but it's more commercial and not as laid back.

Hey Lisa!! Yeah, sometimes. She was ecstatic also, since it helped pay for the deck I built them. She came over tonight to meet Julie and Claire, and bring me the title. Very cool.

I try to be a nice brother, hasnt worked out real well lately, (LONG STORY, lol) but today it sure did!! My brother just brought me over a nice bottle of tequila, and a big hug and a thanks. Felt really good.

How are you doing these days?? I just dont have much time to be online lately......I am sure Im missing a lot.

Yeah, this is the best site period and I've checked a lot of them out. My F-150 was a great truck but the half ton thing just wasn't working for me with the towing I was doing. I'll never go back to a half ton now.

My ridiculous closet:





This closet is the size of a small bedroom. Uh yeah, I have a clothes problem.
You do have a clothes problem Lisa...You're wearing them!

Good deal on the car Brent. You ARE the man for "giving" it to your brother. I am hoping to score something like that for this coming winter.

Yeah, if it had been a mustang or something cool like that it would be in my shop getting a coat of wax right now..lol This seemed like a real solid, reliable car, and he really needs that. I gave him a heck of an advance on pay day, so he better work hard for me the next couple weeks!!!

Thats cool Brent. Yeah my little sister needs a car, I wish I could find her somethin like that. Cheap cars are hard to find in such good shape.

I'm fine, not up to much. Got my Iowa driver's license today. That much closer to being official, had to give up my Colorado identity. Umm...yeah I'm kinda boring right now. Just been workin and, hangin out. Not a lot of drama or excitement in my life.

Well, not that you want it, but I got more drama than a day time soap, so if you want some, you can have it! LOL... Just playing, Im good at just knuckling down and drowning it out.

Sorry you lost your Colorado identity, but I guess maybe it's still in your heart. I could never leave Bellingham, it's in my blood. It's too much a part of me. Hopefully, I never have to face that decision.

I'm glad to hear that even though it's boring your happy.
I did happen to skim over that you think I dont have eyes for you...lol yeah...okay. whatever...
