Not sure on the jobs, any job around here seems hard to find, gotta love how our economy has gotten so much better (or NOT).

I guess I need to stay here for now. At least I get 5 weeks of vacation. Taking a day today to go to Mountain View, AR for the Bean Fest/Outhouse Race! Nice, but its not the Smokys.

Yea theres some great shows, but I work weekends so I dont get up there much, and its a bit too crowded for me. I would make a point of going if it were a Ford truck specific show though. Ill try to post a pic or two. you should try to make it to Maryville sometime, great lil town, not real exciting but great views.

I'd be happy to as soon as mine is back on the road. (should be may if not earlier) Just getting the block back from the shop and waiting on various parts along with needing to get the front back together.....
