She wanted a horse and I said no, then she wanted a goat, thought they were cute. Well now I feed, water and clean the pen, but the goat is pretty funny. The old owners were going to shoot it and she saved it.

Last year we had a Halloween party and she painted the goat Red. Looked pretty funny with his curly horns.

I wouldnt say it always works but if I am trying to justify a purchase it sometimes helps in the negotiation process. Remember it is easier to ask for foregiveness than permission! My buddy who drives truck tried that when he bought a bunch of new chrome for his Pete. Asked for forgiveness and it seemed to work although I got a call from his wife asking why did you have to tell him that! LOL

Lee lets see some pics of this red goat!

I don't think I have any of him painted red, but I sure could do it again. I hope PETA is not monitoring this.

Hey Jason hope your having a good trip back from Bama!! Yeah my tranny is giving me fits. Everything is pretty good with it when it is cold but once it warms up it takes forever to go into drive if ever. I would always have to put it into 1st manually to get it to move. After I have pulled the 5ver even 10 miles than it slips real bad. So I am currently trying to save my pennies for a BTS hopefully before the camping GTG or I will wing it and hope the tranny makes it. All this started last summer but once the cold hit then it drives fine so I havent had much trouble with it during the winter.

Well thanks for the thought Jay. I will find an engine when the time is right, just gotta believe in the Lord that he will provide the opportunity for me.I am applying for a pizza delivery job so I can get caught up on bills. I really need to start making money from the crappy last two years we've had in construction.

I don't really care how much I need to work, my gf would argue on how much since I live in Two Harbors and she lives in North Branch.
