    Coming from a multi marriage family, I fully understand that. It gets a bit weird sometimes.

    I'm not sure if it was the heart medication talking, but Gretchen texted saying she would be willing to adopt three children, just drop them off anytime All she requested was they be open to bland quesadillas and to bring a donut cushion (not sure what that's about).

    That last requirement may be a deal breaker plus losng the tax deduction benefit., but it's not been completely decided yet.

    Still moving, so it can't be so bad.
    I've got 1. She has any number.
    I think 1 is easier.

    We all went over in 2005 and stayed there till 2006 some were sponsored for the employment based green card, I've forgotten most of the drivers names I remember Max Kough though as he was one of the older drivers, I met him about 8 years later when I was visiting Utah he'd only just gotten his green card. Was there someone called Shane that worked at D &D or Western Express? he had one of those cargo vans, think he used to live in Carthage MO just up from Joplin. I remember him picking us up at the Dallas / Ft Worth airport then taking us all up to Oklahoma City to apply for our SSN. We had to wait till a whole bunch of drivers got their CDL down in Weatherford TX once there was more room in the house they took us back to Weatherford which is where we all got our Cdl's issued.

    No pictures as of yet, haven’t wired anything — they’re for my new 367 high hood. Truck is just now showing up to PA… with the holidays I doubt the dealer will be in a hurry to mount the APU… nevermind the boxes, fenders, ELD… gonna be a minute before I get my hands on it.

    Spacious….. and yet a slum compared to an ARI.

    Looks good - and a tidy slum is as good as a tired ARI. Let us know how the light install goes.
