Morning people.

I get to go TRY to finish up this job today, keeping my fingers crossed!

I am getting to the point where I need to mow my lawn too. It gets to be abit of work when ya have as much grass to cut as I do though.

Good morning all. Coffee is brewing.

On another note, time to look for a new job. Got laid off yesterday, AGAIN. 4th time in the last year, this is getting old.

This "economic stimulus" and "change" are really working out well!!!! Sorry, couldn't help it.

I think it's time for a career change, to what I don't know yet.

Hope everyone has a good Saturday, we're going to my Grandmothers 80th b-day party later.

Yes Happy Birthday from me as well!

hey Lisa! Gad you got some mowing done...you get rain means we will for sure. I am for sure tired of it.

I need some help from some "parts" people. I ordered some struts for my 2000 excursion. Paid good money for em, well they are nothing like what I have on there and thus wont fit. I tell the company they do not fit but they insist they are correct. They are sachs Lift O Mat OEM/gas charged lift support F75Z-7842104AB SAC SG304023 240500 06/08 Trunk strut. Can you parts folks check and see what these are actually for? Im going crazy because they say yes but the fit or rather non fit not even close fit actually say no.
(and yes that could go in a tech thread but I have better chance of getting answer in here)

Hey everyone, hope all are well. Sorry about the job Mike, my old lady got laid off a couple of months back and it definitely sucks. Seems like the only "stable" job these days is the military. How old are ya Mike hehe....

Right now, HOT and boring. We go to a new area in a couple of days (sorry can't say until I get there- security reasons blah blah blah....) so for the past week I've been up til about 0400 watching movies on the laptop, and sleeping in til about noon or even 2pm. I figure instead of killing myself at the gym, if I only live on one meal a day I'll lose some weight LOL. However, I only got a bit over 2 months left in this hell hole, and looking forward to getting back to my family!
