I also got a kid expelled from school today...at least I am still working....


Hi Teacher `Todd,
Was the kid's name `Space
I was expelled from HomeSchool lol
________________________________
Todd, sorry that deal on your new home failed, but I think
it's a good deal on the travel trailer. The Bum's & I have lived on houseboats, and many type trailers during our journey.
The one you posted is a good price.
I'm learning, the less you have, the less you have to worry
about 4-Sure : ). Plus they are easy to keep clean/maintain,
and also easy to heat & cool...
30 foot aristocrat travel trailer. nice larger kitchen, walk around queen bed, two doors one in the front and one in the back. Kitchen table,couch, (2) 7-1/2 gallon propane tanks. electric, battery,heat all work. Nice stereo, bath has shower and small tub. Fridge, stove and microwave all work. clean. needs a new awning and a beautiful lady to help you
clean.
asking $5,500 OBO.




Teacher, we wish you the best...Keep us updated `ok

2001 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO SS NASCAR

Four-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion and perennial fan favorite Jeff Gordon raced this #24 DuPont Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS 18 times between 2001 and 2005, taking it with him to Victory Lane at both the UAW-Daimler Chrysler 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on March 4, 2001, and MBNA Platinum 400 at Dover International Speedway on June 3, 2001. Over that five-year period that saw Gordon win the fourth of his NASCAR championships with Rick Hendrick Motorsports, the car twice captured the pole position, scoring two Top 5 finishes and three Top Tens, an impressive record in the era of multi-car operations and huge fields.

Chassis number 24-183 comes completely built by the Hendrick Motorsports #24 race shop, including its genuine, certified original and race-winning SB2 358 CI V-8 race engine. Of course, it is painted in Gordon’s trademark Blue-with Red-flame color scheme, including his distinctive signature over the doors and all correct sponsor decals.

Good Morning!

Not to much going on here today. We had some weird weather yesterday, it was sunny, then started pouring, then it went back to being sunny for the rest of the day. For the rest of the week, we are supposed to have sunshine, and its supposed to get warmer everyday as the week moves on.

My cousin and the baby from Vegas are leaving today, sad to see them leave, but they will be back soon.

Todd, sorry to hear about all the crap you are dealing with at school and with your house. I hope all works out well for you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN!

Have a good day!

Yea, they said it was supposed to be sunny. Amazing how the weather changes from one source to the next. I was just listening to the radio and they said upper 60's today, low 70's tomorrow (which is correct according to the above) but then the radio said mid to upper 70's for thursday through sunday. hahaha, cracks me up how often they are wrong!

And BTW, that weather yeaterday was sooooooooooooo not normal around here. I think I could count on one hand and have fingers left over the number of times we have gone from sunny to rainy, to sunny all in one day. Usually its either sunny with no rain, or cloudy and rainy. One or the other. LOL.

The Monte NEEDS to be detailed. Its looking pretty nasty right now. And the interior needs to be cleaned too. Maybe this weekend or next weekend i'll spend some time cleaning. It also needs an oil change pretty soon.

:P I think that Space Alien would look much better behind the wheel of a Monte Carlo!

And trust me, I am all about taking care of my cars! The worst thing I have ever neglected on my Monte is rotating the tires, I admit, I don't do that near as often as I should. LOL. It pays to take care of your cars, they will last so much longer!

Morning all, well back to the grind after a 3 day weekend.... goodness knows I didn't wanna get up this morning but at least I feel more rested then I have in a long time! Thanks to all that wished me a Happy B-day, was a day off to do nothing so it was a good day! While I'm at it Happy Birthday John, hope your's a good one!

Got a handful of vehicles in my fleet that need to be detailed as well but with all the pollen blowing around it seems like I'd just be putting a protective cover on the pollen. They'll all have to wait until the pollen dies down to get detailed. I did rinse off a couple the other day and before I knew it they looked worse then when I started.
