Well in an effort to keep the economy rolling I went out and bought a new wood retrieval tool. It may also double as a RR device when used with my fifth wheel trailer.

Oooo.... That's sweet. I had an '88 Chevy bought new in late '87. Put almost 500,000 miles on it and it was still going strong when I broke down and bought a new Dodge 3/4 ton last December. Gave the Chevy to my son because they wanted to add to the price of the Dodge if I traded it in. The Chevy has a manual 5 speed and no AC and the Dodge has AC and an auto. What luxury! Nothin' like a fresh ride....

"...I would have loved to have been there when that comment was made..."

Yea... the guy was being a WA. But the truck was marked down so low that the "poor guys" were squirming to begin with. Some guy ordered it in mid '09 and never picked it up so they were trying to move it. The markdown was a full 1/3 off the sticker price so it was hard to complain one way or the other. And my son really wanted the Chevy anyway...
