Howdy all.

Nathan, you're missing a good conference. I think you would have found it quite useful and informative.

first day done. Checking email,, spending a little time here. Then off to find a decent place for dinner. Anyone know a good steakhouse in Chicago??

Steak? In Chicago?:confused:

Evening Lodge.

Car is fixed for now - turns out I had somehow blown my coolant cap and was spilling coolant all over my intake. It was quoted at $1200, but they managed to find a way to fix the problem for $140. Hopefully it doesn't start up again.

I am, however, beginning to entertain thoughts of a new car. My Evo is admittedly a pipe dream, but if I can manage to get a loan I may pick up a slightly-used Mazda 3 at some point in the mid-future. I've heard nothing but good things about them (including from a friend who is a sales rep for GM and owns one.)

And apparently I look like enough of a high roller to have a sleazy salesman attempt to sell me the Corvette Z06 I was ogling in the showroom.

One teacher workshop down. Get to spend the next 2 days running around the badlands.

They're just desperate to move anything at the moment, especially cars that don't qualify for the clunker rebate. I'm sure you looked young and financially irresponsible enough that it was worth a try. :p

They will give you a loan for whatever you want to buy, buy the car you want, they'll give you a loan. (as long as you can afford the payments) When I bought my truck, I didn't have a job and only had the minimum downpayment, but they still sold me a brand new $48,000 truck because I was pre-approved without the credit check.:rolleyes:
Don't worry, I started a new job shortly after and haven't had a problem with my payments, I wasn't quite stupid enough to buy a vehicle that I couldn't afford to pay for.;)

When I bought my Jeep (2 yrs old with 15K miles on it, pretty much like new), I had $500 for a down payment (because they said they had to have SOMETHING), no trade-in, but a long employment history with one employer and obviously no bad credit. They knew I didn't buy anything I couldn't afford, so they figured they were fairly safe in selling me the vehicle.

Long overdue pictures of the chickens, run and coop

I'm still plugging away at the coop. Need to add a ceiling, nest boxes, perches and full walls. I'm getting there though. I expect to start seeing eggs toward the end of September.

I put a picture of my fat cat at the end of this set for 'Ewe and others who've asked about her :)

You could be just like wolverineTrumpet! :p ;)

(Mazdas are good cars though)


Evening, Lodge. Taco Bell's fruity freeze things aren't really that great, though they'd be much better with added vodka :cool:
