Now I have "Rich Men North of Richmond" in my head...

That story about the plane is heart wrenching... wow!

The house he is looking at.... he said he thinks it sits on 5 or 6 acres. Where he's at currently... sometimes I have to park on his front lawn when I go over. The houses literally touch each other. He and his neighbor share a garage wall. He wants the "openness" of the country, for sure.

Yesterday he told me "I hope you're OK inheriting a bunch of transmission parts" LOL. I don't know how much I'll continue doing trans work. I'll do my own, but the last thing I want to do is pull transmissions for other people.

What if one gets dropped of by FedEx (with a check in the box)?

If it's a 4R70/75/AOD, I'd do it. Or a 4L60E - I've done more of those than anything.

Homes around coastal sc have some elbow room but prices have gone wild due to increased demand. I have 2 acres with a private landing on a major river 15 minutes from the coast and even though my equity looks really good if I were ever to sell I don't think I could find waterfront like this again.

I got to rambling. Lol

Little girl decided 330 was my wake up call this morning.

Thank you very much White!

I have lived on this river since I was a kid and I don't think I've seen but maybe five. There is enough boat traffic here that they generally stay miles up river where it's quieter.

I'm your basic anti-reptile feller, lol. Particularly snakes.

My Sister has roughly 7 acres in TX. She had snakes.... so they drained the pond, LOL. I think I would've too.

RIP. uncle.
At least he was an uncle that you were sad to see go! Says something right there! Celebrate that... We tend to start with 30,000 days, if we are blessed w long life; 20,000 if not. When you get to only 4 digits and the first one is closer to 1 than 9, well... Try to die having done good, for those who cannot pay you back. Your report card is all you get to take with you as a resumé. "... and let the living take care of the living." Watch for make-up and extra credit opportunities, (like there's no tomorrow.) I thank you for all of your helps, guys.

I found a brand new 130 amp rotor for a 3G on Ebay for 30 bucks..... so I took the 3G apart and put it in there tonight. Only difference was the threads for the pulley were finer thread. Luckily I had the right nut in my stash o' stuffs.
