That's scary as hell. There are so many idiots among us.

I spent my weekend finishing the downstairs bathroom. We are getting so close to putting a sign up.... I got a lot done besides this. We've already got a storage unit we're filling up. My Wife put all of my CD's in boxes..... 11 boxes with JUST CD's. And, I haven't even bought a CD for a good 10 years.

Anyway, here's the all new throne room.....

Its especially troubling considering I was 500 miles away working in Texas. I hate this god damn New Mexico wasteland. I've lived a lot of places and I've never seen such utterly stupid and terrible crimes. State law, women are not allowed to work at a gas station by themselves after a man raped and killed a clerk a few years back.

I'm moving to Montana before my daughter starts school, even if I have to sell my truck to finance it.

Also the power steering stopped working so I put a new pump in it, fixed that. And last but not least some Iridium IX plugs. Ones I took out were factory at 98k miles. Idles so much smoother esp with the AC on.

I think I could live in Montana. Might end up there someday down the road. That NM law though... that is very strange. If they were making laws like NM in CA, nobody would be able to work anywhere, LOL.

Lol, this place is on its way to being California. They just tried to pass a soda tax that would add like 4 cents per ounce. Effectively making the tax more expensive than the drink itself. Montana is beautiful, the cost of living is a bit higher but I'd rather be happy with less money than unhappy with more.

Well, I hope that I finally have the kid and his dad (Jimmy and Dustin) convinced that I'm not selling lil Red. They came by again last night and tried one last time to buy Red. I told them IF I decide to sell, they would be the first people I call. I told them I would sell the blue truck, but the kid doesn't want a SCab or styleside bed. Their loss. By far, the Blue truck is in better overall condition, but Red is close now. Another couple things and he's finished (Tune up and small bed repair where it was damaged on moving. Then he's done.

What are you talking about AK, Red Blue ? Red Blue what ? I see a red spec in your sig, a blue spec to the side of that and up a little. I can tell they are trucks.

We need a pic of all our trucks together I think...

I thought AK got lit up by the police for a minute.... "red and blue".

Get Brews truck in there, and you've got red, white, and blue!
