    think he was being pesimistic about his issues and adding the flashers and triangles lol

    I dropped my tractor off at rush in denver on thursday, they said ok should be done tonight if not tomorrow, I was loosing oil, but it wasnt dripping, tho it was starting to form all around the frame n stuff... i got a hotel myself on thursday night, friday they still didnt look at it, friday night and saturday night I slept in the lounge, since denver is my hometown tho i dont even live there cause i got rid of my apartment, saturday i call them they say it'll be done in 15 minutes, i drive over in my car, wait an hour and a half, and still nothing so i went back to the lounge slept and walked to the shop this morning and picked up the truck... basically 3 days of nothing... time to change my address to florida

    May has a "calvary"? I always thought it was "cavalry" when it's related to men on horses and what not ;-)
