I just got her back this weekend. Having some trouble figuring out why my guages are running high but I know it's the guages instead of the engine so it's ok. I'll just have to rethink my thinking until I figure it out. She's running good and has finally got some of the power I suspected she had. I got excited when the tires cut loose last night. My "friend" wasn't becuz it was on her paved driveway at about 2 am but... <evil grin> Anyways so what's up in Tx? Everything's got quiet around here...

 

Hey Connie, the truck sounds good. Yeah, I was kinda wonderin why things are so quiet around here. Is everybody hibernatin' or what? Seems like all of a sudden nobody was posting. O well...

Talk to ya later,

 

That is real good news Connie! I am glad and hope the truck keeps you going for a long time

 

I aint been around much. Had to go boot around a few yankees.

Actually, been working way to much and way to long, but the extra $ is buying my rig some purdy cool toys!!!!

 

I ain't got to buy the cool new toys yet...working on gettin' outta here! Gotta have money to go, gotta have a steady job to get money, can't leave a steady job...gotta love this country! j/k Maybe I'll find one of those 8-5 jobs somewhere answering phones and working on the computer sorta like I'm doing now. First gotta figure out where I want to go though...I've been in W TX all my life and I wanna see something different in TX now. Maybe I'll find a map and throw a dart... What do ya'll think? The only thing about me going, is I don't get to take the computer with me becuz it's my uncles so I'd relatively lose this... Grow guts and go or bite me tongue and stay?

 

Well I'm in Nacogdoches. So things have been a bit hectic down here for the last few days. Beyond that, just the usual busy life keeping me off the comp. Catch ya'll later.

Well Connie, when I decided to go to a trade school I looked around briefly and picked UTI in Houston. It was one of the best decisions I made. Sometimes you need to bite the bullit and just decide to go someplace new. You are still young and don't have a husband and kids, kinda makes it easier to pick up and go. Course ya may just decide to make the choice of staying where you grew up and being around your family and friends. Either choice you make will be the right one. We all have opinions about what others should do but the most important opinion is the one in your own mind. Kinda opiniated ramblings,sorry. Just do what your heart tells you and you can't go wrong.

I understand what you're saying. I've just got this feeling especially here lately, that no matter what I do, it's wrong. It's not becuz of someone talking me down, it's just that feeling that I'm getting. Can't explain it. I'll figure it out someday I suppose.

 

You have to live your life. I wish there was an easier way but I havn't found it. Live is all you can do

 

Sometimes a change is what you need. Just remember that you wont have someone always nearby to help out at first. Once you find a new area to hang your hat in it's just a matter of making yourself at home and finding a new bunch of people to hang out with. It is a difficult thing to do but the rewards can do wonders for the way you are feeling.

Plus, the bigger towns and cities have great junkyards and lots of inexpensive Ford trucks all over the place.

 

I think I'd be alright out on my own and I'm the type that wouldn't bother to go out and try to find a new group to hang with. That's part of the problem here really is the whole group thing. There's so much drama and childish antics that are below even High School level coming out of college age students and older. I'm so tired of the constant stupidity that the town I'm living in has shown. I've lived on my own before with roommates and I survived just fine. That was in school and working part time. I just want a place to go home to where I know there aren't going to be people starting their drama and trying to one up the latest soap opera episode. I'd probably get more accomplished on my own than I do living with my grandmother becuz I'm always leaving so she will get off my back instead of staying at home takin' care of business ...

You're right though, I do need to find somewhere with better junkyards than here though. There's really nothing in Lubbock worth going to. All the ones I've been to or called to say they don't have nothing for a 79. I've actually had one tell me that they crush everything that old. What a WASTE! Ugh, but then, I'm a bit of a packrat until I get tired of looking at the clutter and just chunk it all. Go figure right?

p.s. I kinda sorta put a dent and lost some paint on my front passenger fender. There was a gas meter on the passenger side by the back of the cab and I didn't see it becuz I don't have side mirrors and I backed up and cut the wheels the wrong way and yeah ... it's a little crooked now. Didn't make it leak or anything ... just bent it over a bit and screwed up my truck ... Gotta love stupid people that put things like that 6 inches from the driveway ... What's the point?

 

Hang in there Connie, all us Ford fans are still going to be your friend no matter where you live. Sounds like you are due for a change by your last post. You seem to know what the problem is, now you have to decide what to do with that knowledge.

Perhaps this will cheer you up. Around Christmas my mom had a portrait done of my daughter. I just got it in the mail today here in Korea. It came out great, she sure is a pretty little girl. I sure do miss her and her mom. I should get to see them this summer though.

Keep your chin up and remember, no matter how bad it seems, there is always more folks that have it a lot worse.
Krosati, jump in here with some happy stuff.
