    The Buffett Solution

    I would vote for Jimmy Buffet, if the White House would just give us free tequila and let us walk along the beach eating cheeseburgers, all would be good. A little Bob Marley would be nice as well.

    Thanks for the Expo

    Thank you to all the folks involved in the Expo. My wife got a lot out of the women's class, it made her fell less alone on the road. She enjoyed the presentation and was pleased with the great turnout. Thanks also to Dennis for showing us the CargoMax. It was good to have a face to go with...

    Nissan NV

    Even with the extended Chevy, living is tight. You need more space to live. The extended NV would rock. Maybe. Time will tell.

    Nissan NV

    We drove to Nashville and looked at them when they first hit the dealerships. We were able to visit with the Rep that is in charge of the NV. We mentioned that it was just to short for expediting for our needs. He told us that an extended unit would be available in about 18 months. If the...

    Two If By Tea in Joplin

    I have a good friend that works for the Red Cross. She has helped with the tornados in Alabama, Katrina, and several other disasters. I was never that impressed with the Red Cross until I met Patty. She will sleep on a cot in a crowded sports stadium or shelter for weeks on end it that what...

    Two If By Tea in Joplin

    Since Joplin is where we live, we are very biased. They deserve all the good things that can come to them. From what I understand from the people that were there, Rush gave a very patriotic speech that was not slanted liberal or conservative. Just American. On the 4th of July this was the...

    who's happy

    We have only been with the Fed a short time and are very happy. Maybe it's cuz we don't know any better. Maybe we still have rose colored glasses on. Or just maybe cuz we have been happy everywhere we have been and make the choice to enjoy the things we can, change what we can change and keep...

    Avoiding deer

    We put the deer alarms on our van a couple of weeks ago after nearly hitting a deer. I was told that the Colorado State Patrol used them because of hitting so many deer on the highway between Craig and Gunnison. They said that the number of deer hit dropped amazingly. I don't know how well...

    Late to the FedEx \ TVAL Party?

    Just a quick note of little value. We started a short time ago with the Fed. We are at the bottom of the Custom Critical food chain. The Fed has been very straight forward with us and has done everything that they said they would do. We are very pleased with them. I don't know how the Tval...

    Where to lay over in Wichita Falls

    Thanks for all of the info. I knew that I could count on everyone for good advise. Was at the J in Olive Branch last week and it is a good spot. Better than down town Memphis. West Memphis is okay. Good luck with the new adventure. Its hard work to open up a new place but it can be...

    Where to lay over in Wichita Falls

    The Fed has us headed to the great state of Texas, any good layover spots in the area? Sounds like we may be there for a day or two. Thanks for the help. Lost and alone on some forgotten highway, traveled by many, remembered by few.

    There is a CargoMax sitting at Weber Chevrolet in St. Louis, MO on Olive street off of I-270. I know it is there cuz they ordered it in for us but they were not able to get it in time so we ended up with a Chevy Express. The CargoMax came in a couple of days ago. The sales guy, Paul Huch...
