Yes it was! Hope everyone made it home OK.

 

Yup really great time, thanks for having us!
Drive home was rough! Didn't know I was that tired!

Was great to see everyone!

 

Yeah!

I died a little after 1:00 am and the party was still going strong.
Nice service and a fun group of people!

Mike, you guys did a great job with the place!

RJ

 

Thanks so much to everyone!
Stephanie & I really enjoyed our wedding.

Glad y'all got to meet the rest of my "world"... next time, at our GTG up here, I'll be able to hang with you guys a lot more.

 

Janet and I left about 1 AM, terrible idea. 2 hour drive back to Decatur. Made it safe and sound, just exhausted.

 

It looks like I am flying out to Mempis, TN. on Friday for a face to face interview with Nordex... I am pretty excited for my future

Siemens seems really interested in me to WOO HOO.

(Insert comical auctioneer voice here) sold to the highest bidder!

Just kidding, good luck Max. I suggest you take which ever one keeps you closest to north Texas

HAHAHA, big pay plus good benni's will get me to work for them... well actually at this point I may clean bathrooms for GE if they were to call me

NTX is not really an option for me now. I want to get out and see the sights and then probably settle down in West Texas.

 

So what you're saying Max is that you'll go "wherever the wind blows"?

Mike, sorry we didn't make it to the wedding. Sounds like we missed a good party. We had some friends come in from out of town at the last minute, so we were playing host at the house.

Now for a favor, does anyone have a small trailer that I might be able to borrow for a day or so? Looking to pick up a riding mower as it takes a while to walk the new yard 21" at a time. I've got loading ramps for the truck, but I think it might still be a little steep for a mower since even the Grizzly doesn't like it and my trailer is down in Giddings right now. Haven't found exactly what I'm looking for yet, but I figured I'd check on the trailer in case a good deal pops up.

 

Sorry Justin... no trailer here!

I forgot to share my "Remote Starter" learning experience on way home from Mike's.... Sunday AM.

I woke up, as usual, with the sun...... and with the Turkeys in the East 40 (not usual). Was short on sleep and less than my usual wide awake self.
When I decided to leave I hit the remote start and began loading up 'stuff' from Charlies camper. First trip to the CTD I stuck the keys in the ignition.
A few minutes from Mikes house, going 70 mph down FM 17??, my truck dies while going around a bend in the road.
Lost power steering and brakes (after one application). No one coming in either direction and was able to glid to a safe stop in my own lane.
The good news is.... I was now fully wide awake and more than able to stay that way till I got home!

Turns out my DMI, Valet, Remote Start/Turbo Timer unit shuts down 15 min after you push the button (already knew this fact).......
and will run for that 15 min, even if you put it in gear!!! I did not know this fact.

When I had inserted the key into the ignition I did not turn the key on. After 15 min operating time... she died. Interesting scenario.... no?
Not sure that's the way it's designed to work, since mine unit does have a few other oddities - flashers don't blink when I turn it on, and I can put my truck in gear without stepping on brake pedal!
Had to splice in new section of main wiring harness (behind radiator) two yrs ago, which may have been less than a perfect install?

Note to self...

When stealing RJ's truck, spend no more than 15 minutes getting it on the trailer or find hiding spot less than 15 minutes away.

 

Sorry we missed it too Mike. Kim's MS is starting to affect her vision and she was/is very upset. She only worked 2 days last week due to body issues and now vision issues.

Justin,
I have a trailer, but I will be leaving to CO Friday morning. Welcome to use it before then.

 

Good luck Max!

No help here RJ. Ole' Red don't have none of the fancy stuff.

Justin, sorry, no trailer here. When I hauled mine home, I loaded it as far as it would go between the fender wells and ratchet tied it down. Made it from Sherman to The Ranch with no problem. Even with the ramps, the mower deck is going to hang up on the tailgate. Find a deep ditch!

 

Thanks Mike!

Was a super wedding and the sermon during was was top notch! Nice to see everyone again and relax for once.

 

Any of you guys need a set of 2nd gen stock rims? Going to swap over to my 3rd gen rims (finally) and I figured I'd check in to see if anyone was needing some before I put them up on Craigslist.
