yesterday was somewhat fun, I decided to screw off and go do something different so I went down to the docks to watch them do some dredging and take some pics of the Willis B Boyer
freighter ship for the hell of it

I love my camera, nomatter what it takes some awesome pictures, here I am on the shore taking pictures from 150 yards away, always crisp

With the 10X zoom lens I was able to spy on the crane operator eating popcorn, LOL




oh well, I was going to wait and suprise everyone as to what I bought myself for my birthday this year but I will spoil it, I bought a Slush Puppie machine on ebay, LOL I have always wanted one and I love the slushes so what the hell
I cant wait for some Donatos tomorrow, LOL

the MOUNDS again

I just have not been in a mood to write since the fourth, don't know why but I do know what part of it is and I cant really discuss that here or other people will read it and get pissed over the truth oh well here are the pics of my trip to the mounds
playing in the creek






Lunch time and a cool-down session


















lol, muddy durango hauled 4 people around just fine suprisingly













I think I can... I think I can.... oh fuck it where is the winch!









after our little group decided to leave the mounds and head to the outlet mall about 6 miles north, it was dark as night and the lightning was frequent but I wanted a new pair of shoes so we stopped at the Nike store and waited for it to blow over, after about 10 min it was nice again but when we returned to flint everything was white as if it had SNOWED
atleast 2" of hail on the grass and a inch on the road and at intersections it was up to a foot thick and there were kids playing in the ditches in ice up to their chest. I have not seen hail like that in about 8-9 years
















well I decided that come hell and high water or hail to my asshole I am going to get a newer truck so I bought that 98 ram 1 ton off of Tommy, gave him $1500 and the rest in payments that way I don't have to get it all together at once, he is a cool guy











the more and more I look at this tree I think it is going to end up in someone elses yard at the rate it is leaning and I don't know for sure when or how but I am going to take it down once I get the new motor on my chipper and I can find somewhere with a manlift for rent for under $200

oh well I am done for now, I have to be up at the ass-crack of dawn to take scrap in and go to archabold

hmm.......... been buisy (ofcourse)

well I am not really in the mood to write but I will give ya all the high lites, went to a few auctions and on Saturday I went to one I never even planned to go to and I am glad I did, I bought all the pallets at the auction for $10 and finally took them all in today for a whopping $265 profit plus another hundred bucks in scrap metal that I didn't pay a dime for.... nice, today was an exceptionally good day, got a good battery in the durango and stretched it's legs good and bought mulch for the flower beds and while I was out at T&J getting mulch I flagged Tom (jr..) down and asked him about a truck I saw sitting in the tall grass rusting away and voillia it is for sale,... 1998 Ram 3500 4x4 Dually with a Cummins turbo diesel and a 12' flat bed that dumps, drive it home for $3000, I about shit a brick at that price cause I have been bidding on these trucks on eBay and not a single one goes for less then $10k so I am going to buy it and do the minor body work to it and repaint it and have one nice truck to use... well I need to get some rest, nite
