well it looks like it is time to upgrade the service truck. I bought a '99 F250 powerstroke today. needs a new transmission (zf6) a cooler line chaffed and it dumped all the fluid and locked up! found a transmission in Phoenix for $500.00 only has 160,000 miles on it so running down in the morning and getting it. radiator is leaking and the ac condenser has a hole in it. I just rebuilt the front end on this truck last year, also installed new glow plugs. my customer didn't want to have the trans fixed so he sold it to me real cheap! so off comes the service body from the '89 and on to the '99!

Bill: that's a good looking ride!
Mark: I found out that I cannot qualify for the 65% subsidy on COBRA because we can get insurance through my wife's job. Our plan had always been that she would be a stay-at-home mom, but that's probably not a reality anymore. What can you do.
Heading to CA this weekend to visit my parents. It'll be nice to get away from reality and enjoy the daughter without stress for the weekend. Drive safely everyone.
