Good truck sotry....good poodle story...wanna hear another story?

So....my wifes family (mom, dad, and 3 younger siblings 15, 13, and 3) are now living with us untill further notice. They have lived in ketucky for some time, and now they are with us. Her father had been looking for jobs in our area so that they could move back home and my mother in law (who is disabled with reumatiod arthritus) could countinue to be stay at home mom......well...his boss...which must be a huge jackass found out he was looking for jobs and canned him....they also have 3 dogs (german shepard, lab, basset)...so now my 1700 sg ft house which just a couple weeks ago was home to just my wife and I with our 10 lb. dog...is now home to 4 adults, 2 teenagers, a toddler and 4 dogs....and yes....my wife and I are the only ones with jobs.....AHHHHH!!!!!!!

Hats of to my Father in law though...he really is busting his *** looking for work....but for some reason, companies with openings are not in any hurry to fill them.......I guess we just need your prayers...

Ah, such is the married life their Cody. Next, you'll be selling that Mustang of yours to help finance your sister-in-law's braces.






Seriously though, best of luck to you and yours; the job market sucks right now.

On a lighter note, I just finished my two-week long interior upgrade........ I like it, but I'll say for sure that it's a love/hate thing for sure- people will either love it or they'll hate it. I will try to get some decent pix this weekend.

Tom,
Did you go with the GT-500 dash?
Like to see those pics when you get a chance.

Cody,
You're doing a good deed even if it may be cramped for you

Nope....... Larry, if you think back real hard, you may remember that I mentioned to you way back at Brenspeed in January that I wanted to try something, something that I've only seen done a few times in these cars. Again I'll say it's a love it / hate it thing, that's for sure. That's enough teasing for now, I'll post some pix in a day or so.

Well I opened my big mouth to soon. We took a Strike vote yesterday as our contract runs out Sept 1st. The Company Arcelor Mittal Steel only made 39 Billion dollars last quater and they want to raise the Retires Health care payment by 850%. We told them to stick there 6k signing bonus and the dollar an hour raise each of the next 4 years ( I don't tollaly agree with this ). They will meet again tomorrow and then The Union will start to shut down the Blast Furnaces at all the Mills. It will cost Millions to restart them, if they can, if not Millions to repair them after the strike.

But on a good note Oct. 18th is better for me for ther stang meet.

Are you a Democrat, a Republican, or a Redneck?Here is a little test that will help you decide.

The answer can be found by posing the following question:


You're walking down a
deserted street with your wife
and two small children.
Suddenly, an Islamic
Terrorist with a huge knife comes
around the corner, locks eyes with you,
screams obscenities, praises
Allah, raises the
knife, and charges at you.
You are carrying a
Kimber 1911 cal. 45 ACP, and you are an expert shot.
You have mere seconds
before he reaches you and your family. What
do you do?
.................................................. ..........

THINK CAREFULLY AND
THEN SCROLL DOWN:

Democrat's
Answer
:

Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!
Does the man look poor or oppressed?
Have I ever done anything to him that
would inspire him to attack?
Could we run away?
What does my wife think?
What about the kids?
Could I possibly swing the gun like a club
and knock
the knife out of his hand?
What does the law say about this situation?
Does the pistol have appropriate safety built into it?
Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind
of message does this send to society and to my children?
Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?
Does he definitely want to kill me, or would
he be
content just to wound me?
If I were to grab his knees and hold
on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?
Should I call 9-1-1?
Why is this street so deserted?
We need to raise taxes, have
paint and weed day and
make this happier, healthier street that
would
discourage such behavior.
This is all so confusing! I need to
debate this over a nice Chablis
with
some friends for few days and try to come to a consensus.
.................................................. ...................

Republican's
Answer:
BANG!

.................................................. ..............
Redneck's Answer:


BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Click..... (Sounds of reloading)
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
BANG! BANG!
Click
Daughter: 'Nice grouping, Daddy! Were those
the Winchester
Silver Tips or Hollow Points?! '
Son: 'Can I shoot the next one?!'
Wife: 'You ain't taking that to the Taxiderm
ist!


Morning Everyone
