Justin... I see the silver lining... you are okay, jack was a little startled, but okay, it was the saturn, not the monte, and you get a new(er) fender out of the deal.
I actually like to work on cars to relieve stress, I could use a project right now, but I need to save my money instead of going to get the parts for my next trip... I think im going to experiment with lighting tonight.

Who's next? Is space around?

Justin glad you and Jack are ok. It is freezing cold here today, 11 when I got up. Waiting for it to warm up so I can test my drain pipes, they have to be filled with water for about an hour and I want it a little warmer.

On a fun note, my moron brother got fired from his job today. He is the only income provider for his family and is ineligible for unemployment benefits. He has a wife and 4 kids.....not sure how this is going to work out.

Justin got ran over by a Reindeer,
On his way to drop off Jack and go to WORK!!!
You may say theres no such thing as Reindeer,
BUt look at Justin's Saturn and you'll believe.

^ I concur... also, saturn commercials don't lie... I don't see a dent anywhere. I could go to pull apart here for ya... $30 for a fender... sure, it'll be a differant color, but you'll be prepared for another deer to jump out and hit you and that's important, you don't want to drive a saturn impervious to being totalled.

We can also check shipping, or you driving out to get it.... prolly a cheaper bet all around.

I think there's a pap location near you.

On a much more serious note... today is DRAGGING by for me (sigh)
