    Looks like more fun then the digging I was doing today. Trying to level out a 10x12 ft. spot for a shed that has a 6 in. slope where I want to put it. not fun.

    Woot!! Im a home owner again. We closed on our house tuesday. we ended up buying the one we we living in. My brother bought it 3 years ago and we were renting from him after we had to short sale our last house after I lost my job with the online performance parts place when it closed. Now I can get to the mods i want to do. Some outside storage and garage lighting are first on the list.

    I was at SEMA and ran into Craig. We are both ready for a pizza lunch! I might take the Maverick out to Speedworld that evening for its first pass.

    Oh man, now look what I've started. Remember that this will be the first time out and there are still bugs in it.
