Making more plans...

[rick imby]

I clean for the Judge who presided over my divorce...

A friend of mine got royally scr*wed. His ex-wife moved in with the Judge a couple of months after the divorce was final. Crooked Montana Judge...

I'm at the airport now for my first flight.

Kind of a bitter sweet day. Excitement for the business addition and changes to come...

But sad as my little girl might have a more serious medical situation... Not sure if cancer in the stomach or intestines or something else, but a major concern.

I am hustling back from this trip and scheduled to take her to a specialist in Minneapolis MN area for and ultra sound..

 

[Mikey P]

Oh man...

How old and what kind of food was she on?

 

[Old Coastie]

Had a moment of panic before I realised “little girl” refers to the dog.

 

[Mark Saiger]

Oh man...

How old and what kind of food was she on?

Going on 12. We had her on a pretty good dry dog food but with the grandkids around everyday past years she has been getting things we feel they shouldn't (both pups)

Pretty tough right now.

This was a dog the girls brought home and I was upset.

She picked Mr. Grumpy me at the time and she has been the best little girl!

 

[Old Coastie]

Bear up, big guy. This is part of the deal and proof that you have a heart.

Thanks Fred.

Just got into the hotel I decided to get some rest at in Bloomington Illinois

A few more pics of it.

It's a 2015 put together and purchased in 2016.

Paid an unbelievable price of $23,700 for her. I essentially bought a van at retail price and got a free high heat Butler with 30 hours on it.

I have to thank a member here who it wouldn't work out for but contacted me.

Amazing going from mentioning it to my wife that I would start looking for a used Butler to help us out and have it drop in our lap two hours later

She already knows her destiny tonight.

Getting rest means eating, taking a shower and going to bed.

Potential Road trip coming next week.

Was having a conversation with my wife today as we were making some plans and BOOM... Fell into our lap and thanks to a Board member here.

Incredible find today!

Adding to the business plan...more later we hope...

Finalizing details being worked on tomorrow morning.

And I am going out to clean by myself for one of our local judges tomorrow morning.

Incredible considering I just had knee surgery little over a week ago!

Update

How’s your knee feel?

 

[Mikey P]

Is it an extended van?

[Living The Dream]

[bob vawter]

[Small town janitorial]

I've got a 14 yr old austrailian shepherd that still chases the tennis ball ever day and runs strong. She has some posible cancer in her, but at her age it's not worth finding out. Hope your girl still has some years left. Have a s as few trip.

 

[Mark Saiger]

How’s your knee feel?

Actually doing really well!

I am very happy with how the pain is going away and getting mobility back so fast.

I had a great surgeon this time

The newest Peke?


Are you dogless?


Oh man.

 

[bob vawter]

No Mike....we drove to Virginia and rescued our newest Peke.....her name is Patty
Or I should say we rescued each other...

What's the name of your pup Mark...its so hard when their health is threatened...hoping for a speedy recovery

 

[Desk Jockey]

So is that going to be the Florida Butler?

[Mark Saiger]

I can’t imagine trying to stay awake and drive with that voice in my ear
But ... it was karma for you, of course

 

[BIG WOOD]

Speaking of good deals, I'm looking at a GMC van with a little over 100k with white magic's rock solid direct drive that they made in it with all the tanks, WM electric chained hose reel, etc. I"m waiting on the seller to reply back with how many hours are on it, but from the pics...it looks pristine. He's only asking $9500 for it also. If the hours are as low as I'm hoping I'm gonna have to make a Saiger flight and go pick it up.

What do you think? Good deal or should I let that one go?

Could be a good deal but check it out very carefully. Make sure it wasn't frozen. Run it and make sure it comes up to temperature and there are no leaks. Drive the van on the highway and make sure it handles ok. What year is it?

 

[hogjowl]

I don’t think I’d buy any direct drive with that kind of miles on it. Especially a White Magic.
