I agree with Mark. My cousin has done a lot better than we all expected with her treatments.
I hope and pray your hubby responds well to his.
I think of you everyday (((Fran))) <3

Yeah....Cool Stat story Wharf.....My first ever guitar was a Mexican Stat...It was black with a black pick guard...It was an entry level Strat and before China got involved.....Well American Stats went through the roof and with China involved and Mexico outta the pic the Mexican versions also went through the roof...So Hell Yeah I sold it and went too Jackson....Then owned by Grover Jackson of Charvel...Mine is a Randy Rhodes RR3....The RR models go from 1 to 5....At that time it was Japan or America producing all Jacksons and mine is Japanese....Now China is involved there as well and the price shot through the roof but I kept mine....It to is an all black model and makes the Marshall scream with no effects boxes of any kind....My new ESP also runs no effects...Both have the exact same Seymore Duncan pickups....dang old Jackson got purchased by Fender...
When I first saw the SC truck I decided to pass....Over 300 miles from home...That stack of Benjamins was gonna disappear and I had to get Unk to throw me a grand so I wouldn't be dead broke....I went ahead and looked it all over though...12 years I had a 24 valve Dodge with computer controlled injection....I installed one injection pump at a cost of 1400 for the pump...That whole 12 years I kicked myself for not researching better and buying a 12 valve....Nowadays junky 12s disappear off the Craigs in a flash....I decided to drive it and all seemed well...interior and mechanical are 100%....Automatic trannys can't live long behind a Cummins and this one was a much stronger 5-speed.....12 valve 5-speed is considered in the diesel world as the Holy Grail....The paint could be better but I could only find one ping of a dent anywhere....I tried every negotiation tactic in the book and saved not one red cent....The guy did take a liking to the Evil One and filled the tank....It's toting a 4:10 ratio rear gear as does my Taco....Tis rather extreme but both manage....I'd estimate nearly 400 miles so far and it took 43 to fill it back up and that's at 2:90 a gallon....That big old beast beats the Taco in the fuel mileage department....ain't that crazy....I was a little skeptical as the truck only had 98k on the mileage and I told myself to make sure and watch the miles go up when I drove it...hell Yeah I forgot but in the ad I remember the last two numbers were 57....heinz....So I purchased it and left Mom's Accord there....100 miles up the road I remember the miles thing and look at it....last two numbers were.....57...I had a boy you done faked up moment and sulked for a while....I look back and it's 67....I gotta believe 2 of my guardian angels made me look when it was on 57....Nothing I've seen since indicates the mileage isn't 100% correct...I almost walked from both of my trucks.....Old Dodge has been turned up a shade and when you call for it she will fly....I'm pretty happy truck wise....600+ miles in front of me tomorrow as I gotta go back and trailer the Accord home...I've been beat physically and mentally the last few days and really look forward to getting back with Mom's car and turning the page....If I only had a dollar for every time I entered Dodge Ram 3500 in the Craig's search engine....

Hubs hasn't had any vomiting issues with the chemo yet but in addition to the pain he felt like total crap yesterday and today's not looking any better.
Congrats on the truck, Dee! Glad you found a keeper.
Fran, I hope Hubs starts feeling better, and the weather gives you a break.

Morning,Bov
Storm warnings are gone but mud season is in force and our road is horrible. UPS truck in the ditch just past our driveway.

My best guess is we got 8 - 10" of heavy snow. I worked from home today, did a snowblower pass late in the morning, didn't need one this afternoon.
We got about 3" that diminished down to less than one thank goodness. Just made the roads worse.
We had wind and rain yesterday. Can't say I miss the snow...was beautiful here today. Just don't ask me how I'm liking the weather when we get into tornado season...and then hurricane season 
Dee, that truck is bad ...!!

That is a nice looking mod.....
I guess Ya'll saw my post on yesterdays trip to retrieve Mom's car....Hair raising experience towing a trailer all those miles and then back with a car added....Dude I purchased the truck from wanted to buy Mom's car...that ain't happening....He had some miniature donkeys and I learned from Cuzzo about Mary's cross on the donkey's back....all 4 had the cross so I guess they all have it....Owner didn't know either.....So far I'm around 1000 miles on the new truck and all is quiet fine....I'm pleased....Was nice towing another car and not having the truck move around due to the added weight....

Pretty purple mod,Bov I've grown to prefer box mods over the years. Can't buy anything now but I can't say there's anything I really need either.

I didn't need it either, Fran, but it reminded me of my purple Buzz Pro. I kinda miss the tube mod form factor.
Happy you are enjoying the new truck, Dee
