Right now, at this moment, I am overwelmed with this feeling of accomplishment. I got so much done today it was incredible. First I got up, finished up the plans for the new garrage im building behind the house, it is going to be a 30 deep by 34 wide with 10 foot celings, and a 10 foot door that is 16 feet wide. It is going to cost about 6,500.00 to get it to where I can work in it. Allthough I am hoping to have it sheetrocked before I start moving things in as well. but there is time for that, if all goes well I am going to build it over christmas break.
Then I ran over to Bozeman, dropped off the 455 for the Olds at ICM and sent Wes to town on it. He says that the block, crank and rods are all in superb condition so this makes me very happy. After the shop is built I am going to start throwing parts at this engine hot and heavy and get it done.
I then run over to Pacific Steel and Recycling and pick up the steel for the bracketry on my tool boxes for my trailer. I got in and out of there in a hurry, then I ran up the street to Midwest Industries and ordered a set of fenders for my dads trailers so he can get them put on later.
After that I ran over the hill again, came into town and saw my friend Chris AKA Keebler (cause he looks like a keebler elf), I got the codes for my rear end ratios in the blazer, as it turns out it has 4.10's which is as I thought. Since that ratio is so low, it really revvs the engine on the interstate, so I went over and talked to Terry at All Service Tire, he just so happened to have a set of half ton 3.73 geard axles for the blazer, I gave him a deposit, and will be making off with them for a total of 400.00 not too shabby since they have brand new brakes on them, and have all been gone through with new ball joints and seals.
Then I rocked on over to Oconor's Body Shop and talked to Frank, He says it looks like I am good to go to bring the Olds in for paint 2 days after Christmas.
From there I went over to Livingston Ready Mix and got a quote on some concrete for my slab in the shop and the driveway, going to cost me 80 bucks a yard, and is going up after the first of the year, guess ill be pouring lots of concrete over the break now wont I!
After that I went out to dads shop, I pulled out a welder and got my steel cut for the box brackets, then I ground the paint off the tops, got them all welded up, and painted. It was quite a pain in the ass cause the welder ran out of CO2 and there wasnt another tank for it, so I had to grab another welder, it ran out as well but used a different tank and it had a spare. Also my friend Zach was nice enough to run me out some paint and really saved my ass because I forgot to go to the hardware store, so I am going to cook him a nice steak dinner tomorrow night. Think it will be nice for him since he is kind of broke and living on ramen.
About 10:15 I got cleaned up and walked out the door of the shop at 10:45pm. What a long assed day, from 8:00 this morning when I got going to 11:00 when I got home. It just flew by though like a flash. Oh and I got paid 1600.00 today
that was nice.
Now though I am really really sore, anyone going to volunteer to give me a masage? I really need it right now. Been working my butt off. Well, think I am going to go drag my butt into the shower.

Dude I had her pegged as a faker from her very first attention-whoring post (seriously, I did. If your BS detector is rusty in that regard, ask a real girl to look over some of the correspondence next time). I just thought she was a guy. I never knew why she got the zot until now, either.
My curiosity is satisfied. I always had been kinda wondering about what happened to her. Thank you.
