Put an offer down on a piece of property in Troy, MT this morning. Wife accepted a job in Libby, MT last evening. Been moving personal stuff to storage all day. Tomorrow is last day to move a few things then clean the house. We close on sale of home Monday. Fifth wheel living for us for at least a couple weeks. We’ve prayed profusely over this whole deal. We’ve left it in Gods hands to open doors and although it has been stressful at times he’s in control and everything is lining up.

You will like the area, a bit chilly winters but really nice area just the same.
Next project, a short wall at the shop. My buddy had these at a reasonable cost (only a sore back) .Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk
Sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands. Insurance said no constentine wire.They didn't say anything about electric wires or broken glass tho. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk
Maybe Tx and Fl should bus them to military bases like they are up there?
Turbo went out on the duramax 395k I guess I can't get upset over that. Shop said $1,400 for the turbo pluse labor. Still can't lift over #10 or I would be doing it myselfSent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Another one down. Hopefully the crew can get to the new building soon. This is where I park the generator over winter. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk
Probably pulled my VIN off the dash and paid someone at a dealer to cut a keySent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
So I haven’t posted about this here but a week ago last Monday some oxygen thief stole my denali from my driveway in the ever increasingly rat hole of HoustonNear as I can tell it was a group of professionals targeting the airport parking. Probably pulled my VIN off the dash and paid someone at a dealer to cut a key and then used a code scanner to grab the remote when I locked it or unlocked it and the night after I got back from MO they pulled up unlocked it and used the key to drive off. Immediately disconnected the on star tracking. No sign of it on satellite. So 2018 with 50k miles. Paid for. Now I’m back in the market. I had not planned on buying anything for the next 10 years but here I am. Have to wait 30 days to have it declared a total loss. In the mean time I get to drive this while I try to figure out what to get next. I’ve looked at the model Y. The Yukon Denali, the Lexus LX600 the Escalade or another 1500 denali and a 2500 HDNot sure yet but I think I’ve ruled out the Tesla since I need a backup tow vehicle. The wife’s Lexus won’t cut it and neither will the minivan The Yukon I like and it can tow 7700. Questioning whether I should get the XL or the short one If I get another HD then I don’t need the Bus but I love my non emission 21 year old truck with no gizmos. 1500s are so stupid expensive that I’d just get an HDThe SUVs are going for stupid money over sticker so I may have to wait a few months. Prices will come down with car loans at 6-7%. Just a matter of time. RIP the “marshmallow”Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First, no, do not get the Model Y and expect it to do anything other than light/short towing. As for the Yukon, personally, I'd go long. Hard to add space should you use it, and you're not buying a performance vehicle anyway. Good choice if you go 2500HD, but get a 3500Hd instead, just in case and all that you get, really is the overload spring. I say that because I have been looking at adding the stock Go 3500HD overload spring to my 2500 and it's hard-impossible.Tough call getting rid of the 01. Personally, I'd keep it. You can work on it and keep it going forever. Not so much on a new LP5 D-max. No working on that engine, and no tuning it either speaking in practical terms. Just keep it regardless of if you get a new HD or not. I kept my Surburban after the Tesla purchase, although Kat wanted me to ditch it. But I drove it the other day to the farm, and it was fun. It is completely disposable or even a loaner, extra vehicle/part-time mouse home. If you showed up for a visit, I'd toss you the keys...stuff like that.

They build the springs to your specifications. Made from USA steel from the only mill in the USA still making spring steel. Small family owned business.
