That bumper does look good!

"...... It'll be a fun packed weekend......"

Been there done that. I swore after the last move....NEVER AGAIN (and with any luck that will hold true ).


.

I've moved across country twice and hope to do it just once more!


It gets harder the longer you stay in one spot, we just seem to collect "stuff" for some reason..

For the last 4 years, I have kept a promise to myself that I will not own more than I can load into one pickup truck bed and I'm happier now than at any other time in my life. Less is more.

I could see where that would help a lot. Less crap, less head aches. Yeah, I'll have to work on that.

Well today we were informed by the real estate company that they doubt we'll be closing on Friday because the they don't think the under writers will be done by then. So it'll be moved until next Friday. It sucks but will give us a little more time to get ready. My wife is in a lot of pain right now because she just had a miscarriage, and now I can hopefully get her excursion running this weekend. It'll be fine, but the suspense is a PITA. Haha

I did get my wheels back from the blaster's. I'm going to try to get them painted tomorrow before work. We'll see how that works out.

Sorry to hear all this bad news.. we'll keep you and the wife in our thoughts and prayers..

So sorry, thoughts and prayers for you.

Tech, that must be one huge pickup!

Let's see . . . my moves: Small town south-central Illinois to Peoria for college. Peoria to Omaha for work. Omaha to Council Bluffs IA because the company wanted its managers to live there. Council Bluffs back to Omaha later because I didn't care what the company wanted. Omaha to Overland Park, KS for new job. Retired, but it didn't take, so Overland Park, KS to Virginia Beach to work for Navy. Va Beach to Naples Italy for Navy job. Naples Italy to Dallas, TX for final retirement.

Ryan, sorry to hear the news, prayers to you and your wife...

Thanks guys. Today the mortgage lady called requesting more stuff...... Stuff we already sent them. No wonder it takes so long. None of them know WTF they're doing.

You're halfway right, usually they're just too lazy to look for it.

Yeah, I bet so. Good thing it's a long drive to their office.

We have everything to the loan officer supervisor, again, and they might get off their azzes and get things squared away and sent to the under writers tomorrow so we can close Monday. What a cluster this last week has been dealing with them. Now the seller, FannieMae, is saying that if we don't close by the end of April they are keeping our ernest money and the process starts over. That's not what we added in our addendum, but hopefully we don't cross that bridge. USbank best get their stuff together. Anyhow, here's to thinking positive and it'll be good to go tomorrow.

On a positive note, I'm getting closer to being a true chr member. I painted the wheels for this truck, and I didn't use spray bomb! I used epoxy primer and then used urethane gloss black to paint them. They turned out pretty good. What a PITA it is to get the inner portions of the rim shell covered without making runs. After they cure I'll mount the tires and I think I'll use equal to balance them.

Sorry to hear about the miscarriage. Hard to think about. Wish both of you the best.
