Ummmm, repair manual says 60K, not 100% sure if it is the stocker, but my mom has owned the car since 50K and it hasn't been done in that time and highly doubt it was done before the sale.

We love all kinds of movies. We rented Harry Potter last night.

I found out earlier this week that the evicition notice got served in FL and alot of her stuff was disposed of. Supposedly one of the neighbors was taking stuff out of the apartment for her mother what she got out is beyond me. I know that one of the neighbors found a lot of J-L's baby pictures and stuffed animals on the curb. They grabbed what they could. Her mother is denying all of it of course. I am waiting for a couple of phone calls today to get more info. JL is so mad at her mother. She was in tears the other night when I had to tell her what happened

I could use a 08 f150 though, got a spare bedroom?

Well, the deal we made him before he got his license was that we'd match whatever he saved up to get a vehicle and we'd pay half of the monthly payment as long as he held down a part-time job. Buddy of mine owns the local Ford dealership and had a new '08 Reg Cab F-150 4x4 on the lot. Bright Red with grey interior. Pretty much loaded up. MSRP was $32k. With rebates, selling it at invoice less half the holdback, less rebates, blah, blah, blah, it was going to come out to right at $20k. He had $3900 saved and we were going to match that. All in all, he'd have had a new truck for very little and he was going to be working for my wife about 20 hours a week at $8 per hour.

The only conditions were that he had to maintain an A / B average on his report card and he had to work part-time. That was it. Oh well, it's saving me a little money each month.

Gotta run folks. By the way, send Daniel (guthrie&co) some rep when you get a chance. He's on his way to his tree farm not far from here and he's stopping by the house to help me out with some landscaping advice. Going out of his way to help me out...heckuva guy.
