Nope, nothing really. I put in a call to the sheriffs dept about the 900 check over a week ago, and havent heard anything yet. Ive only spoke with the lady who answers the phones. The last I heard was they cant do anything because the bank that they cashed the check at didnt have a camera in the drive through lane
I hate to hear that. What kind of bank nowdays doesn't have a camera at the drive through? Geez, all of ours do. Well best of luck with it. Is your insurance going to cover it?

I'm doin real good, just got back from church, it was kinda sad because I am finally graduating highschool this week and it was our Senior Sunday, and it was real sad to think that life as I know it is winding down and I am about to lose contact with tons of people that are close to me. I am pretty stoked that after 14 years of going to my school I am finally about to be able to leave and never have to go back.

Tom: Thanks for the offer. Clay already made a similar one. Issue is it's special order and special orders are typically non-refundable.

Melissa: That's the first time I've ever gotten that response from someone.

Anyways I'm off to AutoZoo to grab the switch, some dielectric grease, and hopefully a job application.

Yep. Just found that out.

It was worth a shot though.

I've got to find some sort of work that is worth doing.
I could probably get work unloading hay, but as far as I'm concerned it's not worth doing. Terrible pay and
even worse working conditions. (hotter'n hell dusty hay mow) No thanks. I'd rather sit home.

I've got a job interview on Tuesday - wish me luck! I'm actually hoping I get it, since the dress code is jeans j& t-shirt!!! woohoo!!!
Good luck Brendan. Glad you are liking your move back home.

Going good. Lazy weekend so far. Lawn mowing planned for this evening. Tomorrow we're going fishing. I was going to change the oil in the truck but decided I'd wait a few weeks. Other than that, we're not doin a whole hell of a lot. lol.

Went shopping today, bought Randy a bunch of work clothes. It was funny because I was helpin Randy, he hates shopping so I was being his personal shopper. At one point Randy started to get a little overwhelmed, I told him "its ok, relax. I'm a veteran" and I heard a couple of guy's in the men's dept. at Khols giggle a little. Randy went off to use the bathroom and I had two different guys approach me to ask my opinion on their clothing choices. One guy asked if I liked the cargos he picked out..and then was asking me where he should go to buy shoes... another wanted to know which colors of polo would look best on him.

It made me laugh and got me to thinking - some of those dept. stores should have female personal shoppers to help those guys out. Most of them need female assistance.

You?

lower hideaway strobes and upper strobe bar are already hooked up.
i still need to mount the controller for the arrow stick too.



Thanks! the more pics I see the better I like that lower dash.

The bank where the check is cashed will cover the 900 check, but as far as everything else goes, its not worth filing a claim. After the deductible Id only get like 40 back, Then I have to worry about if they are going to raise my rates or not.
