I just need one more bad thing to get to 6 for the week...
Found out our oldest dog has an issue to and went to the vet today, no real answer as to what's wrong and I get a bill for $264...

Time did not cooperate with us last night, but I should have the engine mated up with the trans and sitting in the truck. I would really like get to the point of firing it up, but that might be a stretch...either way I am still shooting to make it to LST!
