Hey Cory. Glad the garage sale went well. I can imagine it would be mind numbing sitting there all day while people meander through

Yea, it was pretty lame. I had a lot of older folks come thru and tell me their life story....interesting stuff but, kinda weird they would tell me so much on the first visit. We had a lot of people come thru on thurs. and clean us out. So not much left to buy (mostly junk). People walk in and walk out. Not really worth being open in my opinon. Rather just haul it to Goodwill and be done. The wife is running it today so we will see how long she lasts. Well back to work, Later

Morning/Afternoon all!

I should just go by what meal it is, but that's to confusing!

Jay,

Not much. I sold some woodworking machines and have people coming to get them. So, mostly loading.

Tomorrow, I'm picking up a hood that I bought for my truck. I'll have at least two of every body part for my truck. I'm not even sure if the main vehicle will get used at all. I keep seeing much nicer candidates out there. But, in the end, I want it to be a F-350, and probably a flatbed dually. So, I don't know if I should purchase a F-150, no matter how nice it looks. Doesn't DOT base all weight ratings on what gets registered?

I also have a very well maintained and decent shape F-350 (1990) available to me for far less than my project will cost. It doesn't have the dentside character. And it's in CA. So, total cost might run me an extra grand to get it home.

What to do? When it's all said and done, I'll probably wind up with three trucks.

Good afternoon Cory and Troy.

Eric

Afternoon all.

Have fun camping Cory.

I got back this morning from a fishing weekend in Long Prairie. Not very good fishing, but a good time. Went through another bottle of Captain, but I shared with others, so I was in a lot better shape than last weekend.

Well it was a little warm! But we all went together and rented a pontoon yesterday so it was nice to get out on the lake and enjoy that. This morning was nice a cool so that wasnt bad. Overall it was ok even with the heat!
