Same message here, I just thought my computer was going stupid.....

Chase just got a call from his mom and she is flying out for his bday in 2 weeks. I am excited for him to see his mom since he is such a momma's boy and really doesn't like us but I am dreading it. I haven't talked to her since I went off on her back in Sept. I was just talking to Chase telling him that we should pull up a list of hotels that are close to our house if she isn't going to stay with us that way they can be close and he said that she wants to stay by my sister in law, someone she hasn't talked to in years. Neither one is very fond of me so they can have lots of fun drunken converstaions about what a horrible person I am and how I need to try harder to please my family

Mark might enjoy this.

All of you Midwestern and Eastern folks might say "big deal" but I had never seen a Cardinal until I came here.

Nice pic Lisa.

Last time I filled up a couple weeks ago it was $1.999 for diesel and gas was $1.899.

Anyone need a new turbo? Caterpillar turbocharger, 3116T

Mark I wish I could get new tires for $90 a piece! I am in Cris' boat, even $150 each would be nice.

I think that's an ever evolving question. I'm not totally sure any of us ever make up our mind on what we wanna do when we grow up.

I'm still dreading calling job #2 tomorrow. Ugh.

okay, all caught up.
Lisa, best of luck, I have no idea what to add to the convo, it's all been covered...Not a fun decision.

Cris- have fun with Chase's mom, sounds like a great time....yuck...


Pete- All the small Stihl's have always been that way to me also, the big saws are great, but the little ones just fight me...

My next one will be a Husky without a doubt.

I have no idea what diesel is here right now, around $2.30 something I think. I've been working next door for so long I cant remember the last time I filled up. That and I have the big tank so it lasts forever....

No kidding. I don't think I'll be buying new when it comes time to replace the Toyo's.

Have you figured out what your going to tell them? I kind of liked Pete's idea of a trial period.

If they can't or won't cough up what you're worth after 4 weeks, you have the right to walk away, and you both get a full 4 weeks to decide on each other. That would get you "off your a**" for the next 4 weeks, still be able to take #1 if it becomes a reality, or remain gainfully employed at #2 if #1 doesn't work out.

In today's economy, the owner of #2 surely can't hold it against you if #1 becomes a viable option, especially if you've both agreed to a trial period. He also gets to decide whether or not you'll be worth putting up with.
