Hey John. How are you today?

I have not stayed there but I have ridden my mountain bike thru there before to check it out. We have stayed in the Cannon Falls campground up the river and inland a bit a couple of times and at Lake Byllesby campground a bunch of times.

Hope you have a good time. I did not notice. You have a camper or do you tent it?

 

Doing good Jay...getting ready for midnight shift tomorrow. How are things in your neck of the woods?

i'm getting ready to get ready..........lol


yea!

Ed

 

Doing well John. Warm and muggy today. I love it!

I do not envy you working that swing shift. That would be tough.

Hello Jacob and Ed

 

Yeah, the swingshift is terrible. I actually prefer midnights over dayshift though so this will be a good two weeks.

 

afternoon all!!

that CL post earlier got me looking....found a tonneau for my truck for $250...

also...

2000 FORD POWERSTROKE

 

Home early from work today. Rained out. Might as well move to Seattle. It might rain less.

Tomorrow we're bringing a bunch of stuff out to the auction yard. A trailer load of stuff we don't use any more as well as my brother's 99.5 F350 7.3PSD 4x4 XLT reg cab longbed with a slight lift. He used to frequent FTE, but hasn't logged in and posted but once since I joined.

 

Not a lot of info on that ad. lol
You thinking of buying one Mark?

 

This one is for Cris...I know my brother can install it...

2002 Ford 3/4 T Trans and Axle

 

That's funny, kind of, Mark. What town is EV?

 

not right now Jay...I dont have a steady income, and less than 2 payments left on my truck I would like to enjoy not having a payment for a few months!

that is a motor only...i would prolly need a whole truck to start with...

I am looking at a hard tonneau for my truck...found one for $250 installed...my brother is going to purchase it for my birthday!!

 

ev is east valley!

 

Should be fun, looks to be enough to keep the kids entertained.

We have a SMALL pop up camper, it is really too small for all of us, but we'll get by for a while. Trying to convince the wife we need a 5er, or at the very least a TT.

 

Hahahahahah

Good luck with that Mike! It was plenty big but we had a pop up for about 10 years.
