I like the setup Zebra. Time for a little extra HP, eh? lol
I see that the site has calmed down a bit since last weeks fiasco. Damn, wasn't that a fun time. lol
It got nice today. Mid 30's and melting. It ought to be a real biatch tomorrow on the highways. At least I don't have to be out in it. My GF is back in Fairbanks this weekend. I think I might head up that way next weekend. I might have too. I get tired of bumping into things at night. LOL
Is anyone going yarding soon? I still need those 97-98 door panel caps (covers). The same ones that JP got for me, that the mail ate. I really appreciated the effort on his part. Thanks again for trying JP.

Ehhhhh.....
What a damn day! Got up at 6 am on Saturday to do work on the house (to get it ready to sell). I had a busted piece of tile in the bathroom, so I went and got a piece to match. I popped the old tile out.... $4!t. The floor backer board was all gushy and soft. I can't, in good conscience, just patch that up. So.... out comes the both vanities, the toilet, linen closet door.... you know.. the works. I ripped up the entire floor and backer board. Put down some the underlayment and threw down some of this new vinyl flooring on the market. It looks just like tile, but it won't crack, leak, yada yada. I was talking to the guy at Home Depot and he said "just use it as a floating floor.... or they have this double sided tape if you would like. I opted for the tape, which works just terrific. Bought a new vanity and some new wainscoting as well. May as well make it more attractive in the process. I just put the vanity in and set the toilet. Just need to throw up the rest of the wainscot now!
Anyway... it is now past 4 am. I've been up for 22 hours. On a side note, my Wife put all of my fat clothes (since I've lost so much weight, I don't need them) on some site for sale. We had 3 people come buy my old clothes.... and that funded the entire project.

Ak, I'll try and get by another yard this week for you. I wish those last ones would have made it but what can you do?
White, it sounds like you took on one hell of a project man. Hope the home sale goes well.

Well, I've went almost 2 years without leasing or buying a new vehicle. Just relying on the old truck. It's an accomplishment lol.
