Taz, looks like I'll be driving it a lot more regularly pretty soon.

Gregg, I'm getting rid of the Monte. There's just too many issues popping up and I'm tired of the list of crap I have to do to it growing larger by the day and I just don't have the money to put into it. So I'm just gonna have to start saving up again and in the meantime drive the Camaro and (when I get the transmission in it) the truck until I have the money to buy a NICE car (preferably a Dale Jr Monte like the one I used to have), which may not happen till after the deployment. We'll see about the timing on that.

As far as Brooke, not a whole lot to update at this point. We just haven't had the opportunities to really talk much, let alone see each other. Our schedules are just too conflicting right now. If we go to 3 shifts at work like they're talking about doing later this year it'll be a little easier but that's the downside of working night shift. Not sure if I see anything happening or not, especially with the difficulties we've had with time to talk and whatnot.

Angie, I don't have a garage, but I have a big barn. But my dads friends mustang is parked on my side, so I.cant park in there. there's another spot for a car too, but we put our jet skis and our boat on that side. The horses have the middle and the other side is for our tractors and the hay. Lol so my baby is SOL for now.

But when I relax I watch animal planet and it makes me sad, but when the animals are rescued it makes me so happy. and my dogs watch it mostly. Lol they all sit in front of the Tv and watch, during commercials they play with their toys and I let them outside to play in the snow. cutest thing ever!

Usually if I watch TV it's ESPN, unless I get lucky and they're showing NCIS or Criminal Minds while I'm home.

AHHHH! Why didn't you tell me?????? You could have sent me a message on facebook since I know you don't have my #. Thankfully I knew of the only channel it could be on this time of day and hopefully they keep showing it.

I haven't watched SVU in forever so I haven't followed them getting rid of Stabler.

Yay! Another episode! My luck is usually I find out it's on, watch the episode, and then when it's over they stop showing it.

I just actually learned how to use my remote start today. It works. I hadn't given it much thought since I bought it last March and the dealer started it for me that way. Had to ask my Mom how she starts hers. Then I read my book Might as well use the luxury. I haev to be pretty close to mine though for it to work. How hard is it to put a new battery or whatever in the clicker? I should be able to unlock and start further away. I am talking furthest away I can be is about 20-25 feet. Thats not right is it?

I've seen this episode but it's been a while. I was just laughing my butt off cause Hotch was testifying in court and the defense lawyer was trying to make profiling out to be a bunch of guesswork and then he turns around and successfully profiled the lawyer in front of the judge and everyone. That was funny.

I think some people should be arrested for what they do to there cars. I've never been a big fan of lowriders or DONK cars. There are some lowriders that are gorgeous as show cars but the practicality of a lowrider for a driver completely escapes me. Now as far as DONKs are concerned they just look stupid in my opinion. I have never seen on that looks good. Now if you DONK a car and butcher the job, that is just inexcusable. I will tell you what generated these comments. I was driving on I-4 headed to work and in the right lane I notice this Chevy convertible. I knew from quite a ways back that it was a classic. It turns out that it is a 1975 Chevy Caprice ragtop. The car had been painted some shade of teal blue/green. It had a fiberglass dash and door panel that were painted the same color but were metal flake. It reminded me of something I'd see at a carnival. He had the nose all chromed and the tail light housings had the same effect. The nose didn't fit correctly and the back of the fenders were hitting the doors so the door edges and fender edges were all chipped and the car must have been originally white. Now the kicker. He had something like 30" wheels and tires on this thing. He had to radius the wheel wells to make them fit plus he had fender skirts on the back. The radiused fenders and quarters looked like crap. Now this guy is doing about 55 to 60MPH because he couldn't control the car moving any faster. It is criminal what he did to this car. Makes me sick.
