This could be the last post for a while guys. With everything in todays world going up except for my wages things are getting kinda tight so I have to stop spending on the truck and get some stuff paid down. Hopefully something changes pretty quick....Ill still be on just no updates unless someone wants to fund my project...

[daverod]

Same here. I have 3 project that I need someone to fund, Maybe we'll get lucky. Till then I think I'll be looking for another yob. or 2

[shortbed70]

Yea it sucks right now. Part of it is my fixed mortgage keeps going up because insurance keeps going up because building material keeps going up because ...... Well you get the idea! Something has to change and it isn't my spending!!!

Had a buisy weekend out at the spring nationals helping my uncle win his first national event in supercomp and get a cool trophy. I'll try to get pics up this week then it's mud and sand, repeat!!!
