Well hello and good morning everyone, I hope all is well out there, been busy lately car shopping. I had a Dodge Dakota crew cab 4 door with a magnum V8, had it for a while, got it with 125Kmiles, put another 100K on it and the trans began to hesitate, would put it in gear and would have to wait a few seconds for it to slip in gear, oh I didnt have a good feeling about it and everyone I had talked to said tranny troubles could be very expensive. So I was hunting a new ride, got with my guy at the dealership and told him I was looking for something else, never did I say anything about the trans, they found me a Nissan first, was a crew cab, gotta have 4 doors when you got 3 boys, somebodies bitching about who gets a door, the thing ran good but when I got back to the dealership it was smoking from under the hood, hmmm cant be good. Smelled of burnt oil, sure enough popped the hood and it was leaking oil from the valve cover. That was a big deal, my guy said oh man if you want it we can fix that. Oh hell no, I don't want to buy a problem! So a few days rocked by and my guy calls me up and says he has just the thing, an 02 Chevy Silverado 1500 with just barely over 100K fully loaded, leather seats and everything electric, said an old man had it and traded for something new. 12 years old and only gad 100K miles, guy probably just used it for tooling around back and forth around town to get groceries. I took it for a ride and it drove like a dream, the freaking seats are heated too. I have never had that option, I have never owned a brand new vehicle or damn sure nothing that had heated anything, now I know what that button is for. I got it for $30 more a month than what I was paying and its still under $300 a month! I am not one to go and buy a brand new truck, just doesnt make sense to me to pay $500-600 a month for something you cant live in. My house payment isnt that high and I refuse to pay that much. I really dig the truck and feel I got a great deal, even less than $300 a month and I got a extra 3 year warranty with it! Hell yeah! My kids didnt know who the hell I was picking them up at school. My oldest likes Fords, my middle boy likes Chevy, I told this is a Chevy family and always has been, just had the Dodge cause I was in a bind and needed a truck bad. Now we rolling right!
@Vitolo , @Reflections , @Seren , @LazyIdol , @VANVAS , @GReYAReA , @Snappo I wanna thank you all for your input and suggestions, I really appreciate them all! I like what you had to say and show @Reflections on your second post! I love the wooden card idea and looked into it, seems they are kinda spendy for a 100 they cost me as much as a 1000 do now. My cards I have now are really heavy weight stock and dont bend or fold easy. They are really solid! I love the wood card idea and think they would be the shit but just cant afford the investment on them now. I will damn sure not forget about em, they may very well come into play in the future. I like your wording to @Reflections maybe just change one word and leave one off
@GReYAReA I think you are right, I like what I got the more I think about it too, just a little change can be all something needs to get the POP I was looking for.
@llamaman001 Glad you got you one bro! I will make sure you get the one with the most figure, think I have one that has an eye in it, its really dark, you're not gonna see it at first glance but when you look closely its there looking at you! No matter what I thank you for your business and for the opportunity to do something outa the ordinary for your vapman, sounds like fun, I look forward to your reply with the sizes needed. I feel ya on wanting it snug, I like my shit tight! I dont like a little wiggle in anything, wiggle can turn into a wobble and that can be problem for me and tends to wind up turning into more than just a little wiggle/wobble, damn that I gotta to have it tight! I can get you something right, nice and tight, and could even do you a wong for it too. Get me some info and I will get right on it!
@KidFated. Glad to hear of your interest as well, you know I got to be able to come up with something for it! I love a new challenge! Am getting a feeling about it now, nice!
Got guy sending me a Haze on the way now, seems the pieces I made have a little wiggle in the unit and not such a tight fit. I hate that I didnt have the unit to start with, as I have made several pieces for various units that look great and should work considering all I had was the stem to work from, but when the user gets the stem it maybe a little off. I aint one to toot my own horn, but I can do alot with wood, I love what I do and doing something different is like I said a challenge, you give me the unit and a little time and I will come up with something, you can count on that!
All is well on my end yall, family is good and my middle boy is counting down the days to duck season, he is just now tall enough I think to wade through the water and get to the duck hole, I am so excited for him, went and got an official "First Duck Certificate" just for when he blasts his first bird, gonna take a nice feather from it and glue it to the paper, maybe take the shotgun shell and place the document in a nice framed wall display with the shot shell on it in the corner, think that would be bad ass. Hopefully its big fat Mallard green head and will mount him next it also!
Wish all yall well and hope everyone is doing good!
