So on Thursday this past week, my Uncle called me and said he had a truck that he was looking to get rid of...knowing we were looking for an old beater type truck. Saturday afternoon, we picked up my mom and made our way out to KRUMP.....and drove back our new adventure. We bartered for the truck, instead of exchanging cash for it. We were looking for a truck, they had one they didn't want....we have a pole barn that we store items in for the winter, they have a motor home they want to store. So that was the deal...2 years of storage for the truck. (Its a 1995)
Uncle Jerry says the truck needs works...but Adam loves an adventure. He drove it home, but while stopping for gas, didn't want to shut it off in case it wouldn't start again. We've been told it needs brakes, a muffler, tires, a battery possible a catalytic converter and a starter...(I think thats it LOL.) Adam is VERY excited because now he won't have to bug his father in law or ask his work to borrow a truck for wood or dry wall or whatever may come up. The body is in AWESOME shape and it has a topper, is an extended cab and has a cap on it. All bonus's for us. It also has 1 part to the Reese hitch, I guess he just needs the ball and the part that it is on...then he can get a trailer to haul wood. Anyways...this is our new adventure so today I get to change the title, get insurance and a plate for it.
Drew had a BUSY weekend.....he didn't come home from school on Friday until Sunday night...LOL. "G" and Papa picked the boys up after school on Friday, took them to the Rocket for pizza and bowling, then they spent the night there. Saturday we met the boys up at the Rocket, dropped Bryce off to his first friends birthday party and took Drew to a friends house for the night. Adam and I ran some errands in Saginaw, picked Bryce up in Reese, picked mom up and ran to Krump. Sunday I woke up not feeling well at all. Adam and Bryce went to his cousins confirmation at Church then to the party. I woke up about 11:30am, got dressed and went to the party. Drew went to a Catholic Church with his friends parents in Munger then to a roller skating party in Bay City. We picked him up about 5pm on Sunday night. LOL BUSY kids!!! We showed him the truck and he asked if that is his new vehicle. Hey who knows...lol
So that was our busy weekend. Hope you all had a great weekend as well. This week we get to decorate Easter Eggs!!!

How awesome that you have a new truck! Or different vehicle anyways. I'm sure Adam is on Cloud 9 with his new project.
Thanks...been looking since we moved out here, just a beater type thing to haul wood and whatever...big remodels on the house and not having to borrow a truck is HUGE!!! I drove it to Reese today to get the boys from school. Bryce LOVES it...Drew wants to paint it, not a fan of tan I guess....LOL Oh well
