    LOL - Klingon would probably agree with you :yes2557:

    You must have been riding along with us today :) stopped at WalMart and picked up a fridge and small microwave then across the freeway to the TA and picked up an inverter. Since the truck is in the shop anyway to fix the front end - they might just be able to pop that in as well :)

    She has good taste - that's the one we picked up today :D

    If you look at the right front you can see some of the damage they will be fixing... plus, there is three some what nasty (at least I think they are bad) slices in one of the rear tires I am going to see if they will replace them.
     
    Wedge Thanks this.

    (LadyK already posted this but... )

    Well... I spent some $$ today.... for the truck, we got 1.7sf frig.(same one that Pain posted the link to... good choice...), a small mico wave oven, a cb radio, 2500w power inverter to power the frig and microwave (and computers.... lol)
    Also, go some new CDs, Sound tracks for seasons 1, 2, 3, 4 of Glee (for Paula), Best of Trisha Yearwood, Long Black Train by Josh Turner & Shock'n y'all by Toby Keith.
    Now I just need to rip them to my notebook and then update my mp3. The stero in the truck (which is a nice one) has an imput jack for mp3 players, so I got a jumper cable for it too...

    Paula even got a new set of sheets for the bed. Which, they just put a NEW mattress in too..... The inside of the truck (I'll post some pics in a day or so) is really clean. I didn't expect it. We bought a bunch of cleaning stuff so we/I could clean it. It looks like the inside was just detailed..... not even any dust on the dash....

    That tire could be a real safety issue. Don't take any chances. Best get that replaced while they're working on the front end.

    Good job, Gary. Best wishes to you and Lady K. If I can get sorted out with SLC I can get back out there and maybe run into you.

    Good luck and stay safe, driver. :biggrin_255:

    LOL - with the front end damage our tractor already has and is getting fixed - maybe not the best choice of words :biggrin_25523: but meeting up for a cup sounds WONDERFUL!! Keep calling your recruiter, I hope you hear from them soon!!
     
    Wedge and PainNdaNeck Thank this.

    The other thing you might want to spend some money on is your own mattress. Denver Mattress (Furniture Row) makes two different very high quality memory foam mattresses for trucks. A bit spendy but an awesome investment and you will not believe the difference. They start at $369 and go to a bit over $500 depending on size and quality.

    For 100 dollars you can get the same mattress at Da Walmart. I put one in my truck..
