Daughter wrecked her car yesterday

Yes, the one that I put a remanufactured cylinder head on last year.

I am going to try to get it towed to my house today or tomorrow
and see if I can repair it.

Airbags didn't deploy.

I just talked to our finance guy. He can add a renovation loan into the original loan for us to finish a basement or add a deck. He said new build is not a great way to go as the builders are building homes and then get desperate to sell them, so they drop the price. We could be paying a loan for a house that loses value immediately compared to the new houses around it.

Or you wait til they drop the price and get a steal.

Or do you buy high, sell low?

pretty easy to finish it yourself when all you have to do is throw an old rug over the dirt floor

That's why his suggestion was to purchase one if the new homes already built instead of contracting with them to build one just for us.

Ask if you can move into the fire depot.

I'm going to have to have a whale of a December if I am going to have any hope of accomplishing my goal of catching Boi Boy by the end of the year...I'm about 330 behind and with the NBA in full swing I just don't see it happening.

I'm off to my sister's for a bit to check in on the cats. From there I'm off to work. The District Manager called me earlier. Asking if I am able to go to the Englewood store later this week. They have 2 manager types out.
