I don't know what he is going to do with it.

 No he didn't have any form of ins just barely able to pay off his bankruptcy payments his hours had been cut from 80 per week to 60 then to 40 that amount just barely pays half of the taxes on the property since the City of Ft Worth arbutarily decided to anex every sq inch of un incorporated land so they could tax it without providing any city services at all. his taxes quadrupled over night. forceing him into personal bankruptcy in an effort to protect what little he still has.

 like he told me the other night if I was there he figures that I would be able to come up with a solution to the roof pretty easy. the old freightliner is just an old truck except for the half million miles he or I had put on it at one time or another and the wierd paint scheme I put on it. Other than that 85 COE shakers used to be a dime a dozen, again if I was there a replacement corner and a bit of ironing out the aluminum panels a bit of paint and few days labor she would be good to go.

 I have been trying to plan on being in the states possibly in 2012 sometime if so I might have to plan a few days to repair the cab. we have another 85 that has been a parts truck for a lot of years.

David, I can't believe that Junkmandan left a trail of Detroit oil through our state without stopping to say hi.

All I need is one more good deal and I'll be out of business.

I'll stick with the old and they can stick the new.

Dan,

We are counting on you to come back through here on your trip home. Remember.....March 13, it looks to be a pretty good show. We call it the "Junkyard Jubilee". There will be at least 30 trucks there, I have that many, and we have promise of at least another 30. There will be food, truckin music, a big display of truckin memorabilia, dash plaques, lots of lies told. Everyone is invited.

David

...and it continues to go all the way around us!  I have only had to hang the blade twice this season & each time it was for less than 4".  I am going broke at a breakneck pace!

Dang near need that monster!  I'm running out of places to push this stuff.  Spent a few hours last night doing mine and two neighbors drives.  Just what we needed......another 6-8"

So I heard we're getting a quick one day blast of heat next week.  I can hope!

I'm no expert........but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
