My backyard.

Interesting, kind of a 19th Century Church of the All Worlds.
Ive been through Oneida NY many times, didnt know its history. -
Found time to edit and revise my general resume.

After reading through our resume threads the effort went from edit to re-write.
Time for some rest. -
Just getting into bed finally.

I been trying to get some work done on my bathroom floor all week. Side jobs have prevented me from being successful in this.

Spent most of the nights this week trying to get rusted or galled bolts out of the truck front end. Trying to replace the hubs and struts as the ones that are there are shot. Resorting to heat as nothing else seems to work.

Buying a new vehicle usually works for me. . .

Hah... I was thinking it would be easier... got a used 2005 Titan SE King Cab for 1500$. I'll probably put another $500 in it before I'm done. The previous owner put in a new engine 70,000 miles ago and it is still in really good shape. The frame is immaculate (especially for driving in upstate NY for so long) and the 4-wheel drive works. So I got this truck for a steal.

Nice, I've been thinking about getting a newer vehicle, but I just don't want to make the spend for it.

I usually just pay someone to do that. Could I do it? Yes. Do I want to....HELL NO.

My friend has a dealer license so he gets me a "new" vehicle from the auctions at dealer cost. He was able to get me a salvaged vehicle of the same model/make/year as I have now, the engine and transmission were good, put in a lower mileage engine and the transmission all for $1,500. The new engine/transmission had 120,000 fewer miles than what I had.

Mechanics aren't cheap up here. We'd be looking at 90-120$ per hour depending on where we go. Plus, as a benefit, my father restores old Volkswagens, so he has all the tools we need to get this thing in running order.

I have helped enough mechanics out with their computers/surveillance for their shops that they don't charge me much, as I give them a cut rate as well.
